Dense Ignorance

Thursday, Feb. 18, 2010 - 12:15 a.m.

Bob Barr, a former conservative who became a Libertarian after he was photographed licking whipped cream off of somebody he wasn't married to, says he isn't sure he'd want to follow a Pagan into battle.

But I have to tell you, if I were in the Air Force and was being commanded by an officer who practices hedonism as a religion (another part of the definition of "pagan"), and who dances around a circle of stones in the woods carrying a lighted candle, I would be more than a little worried about following him into battle.

Well, in that case, Bob ought to REALLY be worried about that religion where its most reverent female adherents shave their heads and give away their worldly posessions. Yesterday they all had ashes smeared on their faces. Would Bob Barr follow any of them into battle?

Besides, why on earth does anybody give a shit which set of invisible superfriends military people decide to pay attention to? Can they be trained? Can they shoot a gun? Do they have an understanding of group ethics? THOSE are the values a good military person should have, regardless of their religious leanings.

What a densely packed bag of ignorance this man is.

Personally, I happen to think most people who profess to be Christian are bananas because they carry around this book that they apparently haven't actually opened and studied.

There's a few wonderful people in my circle of friends who are actually Christian, but I'd not turn my back on most I've met.

I'm actually taping a couple of curling matches to stick on the shelf and watch in times of drought, until 2014.

Okay I'm done now. Have a good Thursday.
