Ever wonder if right wingers ever actually read the Bible? I’m pretty sure they don’t.

During an interview on Fox Business, Palin complained about the way people have been treating Newt Gingrich. You know, because they’ve been attacking him with facts about his record and views. So, Palin compared the treatment of Gingrich to how the Roman Empire treated Jesus.

If we cannot love the stranger in our own self we cannot love the stranger in society. When we begin welcoming the stranger individually we can welcome the strangers in society — and together we transform.

When a teenager stands up for her Constitutional right to not have Christianity forced on her, the all too predictable out pour of hate and rage from those that claim to love Jesus is sure to follow.

As if the Republican Party hadn’t already damaged itself enough since August, the audience of yet another GOP Debate has booed something that seriously questions their claims of being true Christians.

Earlier this week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and some of the other thoughtful, objective, intelligent pundits on Fox News who have so meritoriously dedicated their lives to objectively informing Americans of just the facts and news they need to know, appropriately took President Barack Obama to task for sending out a Christmas card this year that included a picture of the family dog, Bo, sitting in front of a fireplace.

America’s Right-wing, or at least its rank-and-file, fancies itself as patriotic, compassionate, law-abiding citizens upholding the traditional values that built this nation—essentially, they see themselves as the modern-day equivalent to say, Ethan Allen’s Green Mountain Boys. And in one respect, they may be correct.

It’s funny that Fischer would talk about stealing and coveting considering that the big bankers and numerous corporations are guilty of both and more. Wall Street has stolen hundreds of billions if not trillions from the American people over the last thirty years. And they want to steal more.

The right-wing claims to have some sort of monopoly on Christianity and they claim that liberals are godless heathens who have no values. Well, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The left-wing has Christians too, and they are collectively known as The Christian Left.

Jesus is no political leader, but an inspiration for subversive, world-changing action. If we want to embody this, then we must stop finding political parties for Jesus to endorse, and start finding our common humanity.

If you think it’s odd that an atheist would be making a video about the return of Jesus, don’t – because the point is not whether you believe or I believe, the point is that the religions right/Tea Party/Republicans claim to have a corner on the God market, claim to be believers – and they still behave like they do, promoting raging hatred, an unjust economic agenda, and hatred for that scary ‘other.’

It’s a simple question, really, with a seemingly unfortunate, simple answer: Not so much.

It appears that this week’s earthquake on the nation’s east coast had one noticeable upside: it brought the religious crazies on every side closer together.
