			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re a conoisseur of religious propaganda like I am, you quickly notice certain tropes.  One of my favorites is the &#8220;insert god into non-god-related current event as tortured theological metaphor&#8221; trick, which pops up all the time.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s example is Beliefnet&#8217;s &#8220;<a href = "http://blog.beliefnet.com/prayerplainandsimple/2009/12/crashing-gods-state-dinner.html"><b>Crashing God&#8217;s State Dinner</b></a>,&#8221; which uses the antics of the party-crashing Salahis to reinforce standard dogma about Jesus:</p>
<blockquote><p>Thank God the King of the Universe doesn&#8217;t have such boundaries around him. The Bible says that God has an open air policy in the &#8220;Oval Office&#8221; of heaven. Once we&#8217;re given a pass &#8211; the Bible says that coming to God in &#8220;Jesus&#8217; Name&#8221; gives us that access &#8211; we can waltz in like we own the place. We&#8217;re children of the King after all. We do &#8220;own the place&#8221; so to speak. We can come to God in prayer like party crashers approaching God as if we&#8217;re &#8220;old buddies.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>As a public service to any religion writers who might read my blog, here are some equally topical column suggestions:</p>
<p><b>Hacking into God&#8217;s <a href = "http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/thehumancondition/archive/2009/11/25/james-hansen-climate-change-evidence-overwhelming-hacked-emails-indicate-poor-judgement.aspx">Climate Data Server</a></b>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Thank God the King of the Universe doesn&#8217;t try to subvert the peer review process.
</p></blockquote>
<p><b>A <a href = "http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2009/12/tiger-woods-jaimee-grubbs-affair-voicemail-us-weekly-text.html">31-Month Affair</a> With God&#8217;s Cocktail Waitress</b>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
The Bible says that God has an &#8220;open bedroom&#8221; policy in the &#8220;cocktail lounge&#8221; of heaven.
</p></blockquote>
<p><b>Obama to Send <a href = "http://www.usatoday.com/news/military/2009-12-01-obama-afghanistan_N.htm">30,000 More Troops</a> to God&#8217;s Afghanistan</b>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Once we&#8217;re given a pass &#8211; the Bible says that coming to God in &#8220;Jesus&#8217; Name&#8221; gives us that access &#8211; we can waltz in like we own the place.  We&#8217;re children of the King after all.  We do &#8220;own the place&#8221; so to speak.
</p></blockquote>
<p><b><a href = "http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/12/02/2009-12-02_family_ties_meredith_baxter_comes_out_on_today_i_am_a_lesbian_dating_girlfriend_.html">Meredith Baxter</a>, Mom on &#8220;Family Ties,&#8221; is God&#8217;s Lesbian</b>:</p>
<blockquote><p>We can come to God in prayer like former sitcom stars approaching God as if we&#8217;re &#8220;old lesbians.&#8221;
</p></blockquote>
<p>Hopefully this advice is useful and can help a few religion columnists survive the next round or two of layoffs.</p>
