You’ve gotta love it when the foaming-at-the-mouth atheist clashes with the wishy-washy liberal churchman. Who’s going to fall deeper into the pit?

Both of these invasive species have moved into America’s religious environment, to hog space and choke out faith.
Tares among the wheat.
Lest there be confusion, this is the same Hillary Clinton who was Planned Parenthood’s “Champion” of abortion and who said, last year, that the core beliefs of “religions”–that is, Christianity–“have got to change” to accommodate and “affirm” abortion and public sodomy.
That Hillary is the subject of a recent book, Strong for a Moment Like This: The Devotions of Hillary Rodham Clinton, by a Rev. Shillady–relish the irony of that name–the Clinton family pastor–more irony. With the thinly veiled likening of Hillary to Queen Esther, we go beyond irony into uncharted, murky waters of I don’t know what. What lies beyond irony?
The news turns out to be what we’d expect. Right smack-dab in the middle of the book is a prayer written not by Mr. Shillady–who named this guy? Charles Dickens?–but by someone else who was not given credit for it (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_HILLARY_CLINTON_PASTOR_PLAGIARISM?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2017-08-15-10-07-55). Usually we call that plagiarism. But as any liberal would, Mr. Shillady says it was only a mistake, nobody could have been as surprised as he was when he found out the prayer had actually been written by another man, and he’ll give the guy due credit in subsequent editions and everything’ll be just hunky-dory.
It’s raining like mad and this is what I’m reading about instead of working on my own book. I have bypassed the truly disastrous news of the day in favor of this wee tidbit of cultural decay.
I suppose we expect our politicians to be hypocrites, especially if their last name happens to be Clinton. But this is a bit thick even for Hillary. I mean, really–plagiarizing a prayer?
And we’re supposed to be sorry that she’s not our president. The nooze media all tell us so.
I don’t know who this is, but I guess it’s not the Virgin Mary.
Kentucky House Speaker Greg Stumbo was one of the few Democrats not to be swept out of office this week in the state’s elections. Naturally, he predicted a roaring comeback by the Dems next year ( http://thefederalist.com/2015/11/04/watch-the-top-democrat-in-kentuckys-epic-meltdown-after-matt-bevins-win/ ).
Furthermore, Stumbo added a religious dimension to his argument: “Mary did not ride an elephant into Bethlehem that night.”
What?
Never mind that Joseph couldn’t afford an elephant. What Stumbo is really saying here is that the Virgin Mary, mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, was, at heart, a Democrat. Let us attempt to follow the logic behind this statement.
*Mary rode a donkey into Bethlehem, where she gave birth to the Christ child.
*The donkey is the symbol of the Democrat Party.
*Therefore Mary was a Democrat. If she had been a Republican, she would have demanded that Joseph scare up an elephant somehow so she could ride that instead of a donkey.
Liberals have no understanding of the Christian religion and would be well advised to leave it alone. Instead, they offer something like this.
Mary: “Joseph, I will not ride an elephant into Bethlehem and have everybody who sees us thinking we’re Republicans. I don’t care how you do it, but you get me a donkey or else!”
Joseph: “But they’re offering special deals on elephants over in Caesarea. We can trade in our ox…”
Mary: “I don’t care! We are Democrats, Joseph! Doesn’t that mean anything to you anymore? Think of our duty, two thousand years from now, to Greg Stumbo! Not to mention Hillary Clinton. An elephant! Well, you can just think it over tonight while you’re sleeping on the couch.”
Joseph: “I didn’t know we had a couch.”
And so on.
Liberal logic–it’ll always get you where you wanna go.
I wish I had a nickel for every time some atheist or pagan sagely, and with no sense of his or her own pompous absurdity, advised Christians how to be Christians. This is not unlike the Nooze media advising Republicans who to pick for their presidential candidate–or sharks advising surfers as to water safety.
The latest liberal bigwig to do so is Hillary “Cash” Clinton, who recently declared that “religious beliefs must change” to accommodate abortion ( http://www.inquisitr.com/2044978/hillary-clinton-religious-beliefs-must-change-for-reproductive-healthcare/ ). Women will never be “free” until you can kill your baby anytime, anywhere. Mrs. Clinton did not elaborate on how timeless, changeless portions of Christian faith and morality ought to be made to change. We have not yet reached the point where even a Democrat presidential candidate can openly talk about throwing millions of American citizens into re-education camps.
Before that it was The New York Times telling us that Christianity “must change” to accommodate homosexuals.
And we always have wise fools in our seminaries, known affectionately to liberals as Reputable Bible Scholars, who declare to us that nothing described in the Bible ever happened, Jesus Christ never rose from the dead but was just a Wise Teacher (who must also have been delusional, calling himself the Christ, the Son of God), and real Christianity is doing whatever liberals tell you to do and believing whatever liberals think you should believe. So a Real Christian believes in Global Warming, goes to gay weddings every chance he gets, believes all other religions (including atheism) are just as true as Christianity, and says the Bible is full of wonderful symbolism but otherwise not to be taken seriously for a moment.
You know what’s sad?
The fact that we already have legions of Real Christians who fit that description to a tee.
