Rick Santorum’s utopian theocracy

Rick Santorum seems like he would be right at home running a Parish...or a theocracy.

I dislike Rick Santorum for several reasons, but the biggest is how he forces me to side with Democrats. Santorum is so confused, that his ridiculous comments can’t go unchallenged.

In his latest rant to be unearthed, he criticizes John F. Kennedy’s 1960 speech about religion to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association. “Earlier in my political career, I had the opportunity to read the speech, and I almost threw up. You should read the speech,” said Santorum

In a recent interview with George Stephanopoulos, Santorum adds:

The reverend Rick Santorum fights Satan

Rick Sanorum seems more like a preacher than a Presidential candidate.

I just read this disturbing quote from Presidential candidate Rick Santorum on the Drudge Report:

“Satan has his sights on the United States of America!” Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum has declared.

“Satan is attacking the great institutions of America, using those great vices of pride, vanity, and sensuality as the root to attack all of the strong plants that has so deeply rooted in the American tradition.”

A great example of Grammy Awards nonsense

Nicki Minaj arrives at the 2012 Grammy Awards with a man dressed as the Pope.

I’m an atheist, but the picture above irks me for a few reasons.

First, it’s an example of just how low pop music has gone. “Musicians” need to pull stunts like this to get attention from reporters, photographers, and interviewers, because their talent sure isn’t going to get them noticed. What’s the matter? Wouldn’t Lady Gaga let her use her cocoon or meat suit?

Second, notice how certain religions seem to be off limits to jokes and other criticism, yet Catholicism and Christianity in general seem to be great targets to poke fun at. Can we have some consistency? » read more

Bill Maher doesn’t believe Barack Obama is a Christian

Is Barack Obama a Christian? Should it matter?

Comedian Bill Maher doesn’t believe Barack Obama is a Christian, and I must say, I agree.

Unlike many, I don’t believe he is a closet Muslim. Instead, I see him as someone who isn’t religious and clings to Christianity because it’s politically expedient. If I’m correct about this, the fact that he isn’t really a Christian doesn’t bother me. What would bother me is an exaggeration of his beliefs to gain election. » read more

Sister Nancy lets “the word” guide her votes

It looks like Nancy Pelosi is religious, in her own twisted way. Pelosi, who is Catholic, claims she is guided by “the word”, and that she will be judged by Jesus. Let’s add Nancy Pelosi to that long list of politicians (Ted Kennedy, Patrick Kennedy) who claim to be religious, yet conduct themselves in ways that fly in the face of church doctrine.

Over the years, Nancy Pelosi has been a staunch supporter of abortion rights, gay marriage, and assisted suicide. I tend to disagree with her, but I do agree with her stances on those issues. With that said, I find it hard to believe that someone with these views could present themselves as a devout Catholic. The last time I checked, the Catholic Church was strongly opposed to abortion, assisted suicide, and gay marriage. » read more
