Only Godless, Apostate Preaching is Constitutional
Or so I gather, once again, from John Kerry's latest Sunday sermon:
"'Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come,’ Kerry intoned Sunday morning at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. ‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.’ He told the crowd of 1,500 he wasn't there to preach but went on to, well, preach about the Good Samaritan, the emptiness of a faith devoid of deeds and God's high calling to love one another - before criticizing from the pulpit President Bush over Social Security and jobs."
"From the pulpit." From the f'ing pulpit. A man who has been, or is about to be, excommunicated from the Catholic Church.
As many times as I've been round and round and down in the trenches with Christophobes and all their ignorant, bigoted propagandizing about how "religious fundies" want to "impose a theocracy" on the country, it is invariably irreligious lefties who harangue from invariably black pulpits and invariably transform what are supposed to be worship services into political rallies. And then they go forth with their not-so-great commission, to wit, to warn against the evils of "mixing church and state."
These are people who loathe George W. Bush and brand him a "dangerous extremist" because he (1) prays and (2) actually believes that Someone is listening. Who would mobilize assassination squads to take him out if he ever dared to step behind a church pulpit even to see how the microphone worked. But John Kerry, who believes in nothing except his own power and aggrandizement? Why, that's perfectly okay.
After all, he can heal the lame. That's the best healthcare plan of all, right?
Look at the picture of Kerry's sermon. Doesn't the caption ("I want to thank you all for making this stained-glass portrait of me...") write itself?
