Warning: Colossal Barf and Hurl Alert

Aspirants to the White House, both Democratic and Republican, have, as we all know, begun “announcing,” thus initiating, from a rationalist’s point of view, a media carnival featuring, on both sides, an array of supposedly God-fearing clowns and faith-mongering nitwits groveling before Evangelicals and nattering on about their belief in the Almighty and their certainty that if we just looked, we could find answers to many of our ills in the Good Book.
The candidates will cloak their true agendas – serving the Lords of Wall Street far more zealously than Our Father who art (or really, art not) in heaven – in pious patter about “values,” about the need to “restore America” and return us to the state of divinely granted exceptionalism President Obama has so gravely squandered. This Season of Unreason will end with the elections of November 2016, but its consequences – validation of the idea that belief without evidence is a virtue, that religion, and especially Christianity, deserves a place in our politics, our Constitutionally enshrined secularism notwithstanding – will live on and damage the progressive cause.
But it does not have to be this way.
(Excerpt) Read more at salon.com ...
LOL, no kidding. This dude has some very serious issues.
Yeah, I don’t bother reading anything from Salon anymore. They’re purely insulting.
The author is consumed with hatred.
Almost demonic.
they are really bringing out the LONG knives arent they!!
wow!!
One day every knee will bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He accidentally spoke the truth. Read the last line - progressive politics required an absence of God, particularly the Christian faith model.
Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.
So Bobamas Black Liberation Theology via Rev Wright and his closet inner Muslim are not strange to this bloke? Wow...
So that day when every knee shall bow day,I wish they would sell pay per view for that I would like to see this Salon dude kicked thru the goal post of life straight into the pit. Just saying

I would then point Al Jessera toward it.
I’ve looked around about him before. There isn’t anything worthwhile about him, really.
One assumes that he’s for Hillary! because she has not professed any belief in a higher ethereal power one can connote with ‘religion’.
Stopped reading right there. There is more than sufficient experience, precedent and progress that derives from 5 millennia of Judeo-Greek-Roman-Christianity than from the screech of the hater. The author would not, himself, remind us, but his co-religionist (yes, it is a religion) are the militant atheists like Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pol-Pot and the others who in a single century drenched the world in blood.
They are also certifiable nuts.
And how about that Cruz guy? Whoa, man! Confessing that he believes in Jesus??? What's up with that? Everyone knows that Christianity is so yesterday. The cool hip people are all into yoga and pantheism or something ...
It's like the prophet Steve Martin used to say: If it wasn't for my lucky astrology mood watch, I wouldn't have ANYTHING to believe in.
Hey, don't bogart the bong, dude!
I can’t wait to hear what folks like Jeffrey Taylor have to say after Ted Cruz is elected President. Their hatred will consume them.
It’s no wonder liberals are so angry. They have nothing to look forward to, up to. Their poor, pitiful, insignificant life is all there is. Then you die.
Unfortunately for them, that’s not the way it works. My God is a merciful God. A forgiving God. But you, me and the....ummm..misguided? author of this article has a lifetime to ask forgiveness and accept Christ. I don’t think this guy will ever get it. And that’s sad. Because in the not too distant future he will find out that there really is a God. And then it will be too late.
LOL, that’s exactly what I was thinking!
It really amazes me when NON-CHRISTIANS try to describe real Christians .. AND UTTERLY FAIL.
