Well, okay… more than a few. And I’ve barely made it through about 1/4 of them. Um… I should say, them; so far. Their were links going up for days after the last BAT. So here are Thorne’s Picks from today’s reading.
Blog Against Theocracy: What America means to me
“The strongest supporter of Theocracy, around”
Irony is the medium here, and it’s soooo well done!! Bravo!!!
Seething Mom
is at it again, (BAT l post) with an incredible, heartfelt and reasoned post on the ways gays are failed by our theocratic government and religion. This coming from a theist. I know alot of my athiest friends have a problem with moderate theists, but in my opinion, a theist who knows they’ve been screwed by religion and the government that embraces it makes a powerful and vocal ally!! Check her out!!
Rick over at 10% has a great one entitled:
Prosperity Doctrine- The Church Of The Free Market
He opens with this gem:
“If you actually read the bible that Jesus geezer comes off as…well a bit of a lefty, actually a democratic socialist forming an opposition movement in an imperially occupied state. In short he was more Che Guevara than CEO of Halliburton, more insurgent than GI Joe.”
Oh, Talk To Action has a great piece on the
Enemy/Friend
dynamic and how to avoid playing the part that the RR has assigned us.
And if you think for a second that the Rethug party doesn’t have a plan to christianize america, download this: “National Party Platforms on Specific Biblical Issues,” . For a special synopsis stop by
HJHOP
for a treat!
Betmo
is still pissed off, (but eloquent and too the point!) and I don’t blame her a bit.
Thit’s it for the serious stuff for today. Time for Thorne to play…
