The Sound of the Crowd

To misquote Martin Gore…

In reference to the Bush-religious right: I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumors, but I think their god’s got a sick sense of humour.

Below, text in bold is Digby from Hullabaloo, normal text is me.

Everybody’s talking about the article in The Nation about Dr. David Hager, the Bush appointee to the Advisory Committee for Reproductive Health Drugs in the Food and Drug Administration…Dr Hager was primarily known…as the writer of scriptural cures for women’s reproductive problems. But his cure for infidelity was just plain creepy:

‘Picture Jesus coming into the room. He walks over to you and folds you gently into his arms. He tousles your hair and kisses you gently on the cheek. . . . Let this love begin to heal you from the inside out.”</b>

“He tousles your hair and kisses you gently on the cheek?”

The Christian Right with their wild shedding of the most shocking of sexual taboos are starting to freak me out. And I’m from California.

What Digby said.
