Mrs. Betty Bowers Explains Abortion

I always feel the need to preface any post about abortion with a, "not really my issue," disclaimer. And it isn't. But the anti-abortion side is so chock full o' nuts, it's difficult to stay neutral on the subject. Especially when you consider that it is almost uniformly big-C Christians who are the most adamantly anti-abortion. Which is curious, since the biblical admonitions against it are slight. . .very, very slight. Kind of like the biblical anti-gay passages, which are few and arguable, and don't rise to the number one or two spot with abortion for "things the Bible wants you to devote your life to stopping." But don't take it from me, take it from America's Best Christian!

I occasionally get into disagreements online about the whole same-sex marriage issue. See, I'm thusly married myself, and can't figure out how that affects anybody but me and The Other Half. I've yet to have the question answered without vague references to "rending the fabric of society" and illogical polygamy/bestiality/pedophilia "slippery slope" analogies. Of course it usually boils down to religion.

Now, in America, religion and politics are supposed to be separate things. But as we've seen with the the tea bagger fringe, conservatives are starting to weave their political beliefs into their religion. The two have become inseparable to them. And as we know, religious beliefs need not let logic intrude. One thing this new Christianipublicanism contends is that it is okay to put civil rights to a vote. All righty then. I'll let America's Best Christian, Betty Bowers explain where that kind of thinking might lead. . . to voting against Mormon rights, of course!

While I'm on a religion jag (see here and here), I thought this would be a great time to highlight a fantastic parody website, LandoverBaptist.org. It's the home of Betty Bowers (America's Best Christian), and it's so good that it could fool you into thinking it's a real church website.

If you're lacking a sense of humor or irony that is. This site smacks my funny bone so hard it hurts (but hurts so good). And with the Presidential race turning all Jesusy, you know they're taking gleeful aim. It's completely outrageous, probably blasphemous, sure to inflame people, and right up my alley. Here's a sample. . .

Mitt Romney's Hilarious Religious Beliefs!

Friends, I never thought I'd live to see the day when a Mormon cult member would be running for President of this Christian country. Then again, I said the same thing about that Mary Worshipping jackass, John F. Kennedy, and by golly - every uneducated Negro and unchurched low class liberal who thought Catholics were Christians voted that hell bound nin-com-poop into office! . . .
