Atheist Meditations

<<>>



Salon.com reports a powerful group of conservative Christian leaders decided Saturday at a private conclave in Salt Lake City to artlessly threaten to support a third-party candidate for president if an abortion-loving nominee like Rudy Giuliani wins the Republican nomination. The fucking Council for National Policy, which includes absolute fuckheads like James Dobson of Focus on the Family and Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council have proven what Karl Rove and the rest of us have known for a long time: they are fucking wankers who are easily perceived as contemptible by all who have escaped the intellectual ravages of their brand of religion.

I've listened to a fair number of 'Dr.' Dobson's radio programs - and I should have put the title in bold, not mere air quotes. His guests are well trained to inject all sorts of disgusting awe and worshipful respect into the stress upon those two syllables - each program has been more spiritually deflating than the last. The fat boy's inadequacies of maturation are so revoltingly obvious one cannot help but politely look away. Of course, in the shadow of that social balking be where the fucking pedophiles and religious demagogues always prey upon the weak.

Just to be abso-fucking-lutely clear about this, pedophiles occupy a higher moral status than do bitch ass 'pastors' like Mr. Dobson. The most hyperactive predator of small children cannot harm the lives of more than a hundred or so kids, Mr. Dobson's vulgar projection of his own base needs infects the lives of tens of millions in this country alone. Fuckers with broadcasting power behind them are held to a different standard than the rest of us; once you become an Axis Sally or a Senator McCarthy you've trespassed against us in a way that forfeits most mercies.

Example? The easiest example would be to repeat any of the countless dumb ass shit statements he's made regarding homosexuality and the 'gay culture' that actively seeks to queerify every young christian boy in America. Or I could play it a little closer to home and detail how the obese fucker routinely insults those of us who have risen to the challenge of living a moral life without a silly, oversimplified, father-figure god to give us childish rules for our behavior. By demonizing every secular thinker, along with the science of evolution and such, he's working hard to remove so much of the Beauty and Understanding of our existence from his poor, ignorant followers. In our marvelous age all someone has to do is search the internet to find levels of understanding denied (oftentimes purposefully) every fucking previous generation. To try to preclude that just because you, Dr. Dobson, are too stupid or lazy to embrace it has got to be a crime/sin. My example will involve the fillies.

Listen to a thousand hours of Focus on the Family, until your dick falls right off and I challenge you to find one fucking example of a woman on that program who is ever treated as an intellectual equal. Nope, they are invariably introduced in a manner that praises and credits them for their submissiveness - i.e. acceptance of Gawd's will - then immediately go into a rapid-fire exhibition of trite thankyous and praisegods for Dr. Dobson, his ministry, and the huge, positive impact he's had on their lives. Most real men, in my humble fucking opinion, always feign discomfort and change the subject with an 'aw it was nothing.' The Jesus I learned about in school would quickly defuse that sort of speech with a self-less comment on 'just doing my Father's will.' Not Dr. Dobson, he's got a molochesque appetite for the stroking of his ego, and I've personally never seen the fucker show humility. What women struggled like hell to achieve for hundreds of years - and now can actually fucking possess in this brief historical period if they just reach out and take it - . . . not in Dr. Dobson's little world.

I need to transfer back to the fucking Council for Nation Policy and the title of this blog.

Do they understand that this bluff can only be a bluff, or are they really willing to take their poor sap followers back into forty more years of wandering in our political landscape's desert? If I thought that any of these fuckers were acting upon firmly held ideological motives, than maybe I'd buy their 'puritanical breakaway' to a third party. I think Dobson and Perkins are like the Jerry Falwell so eloquently eulogized by Christopher Hitchen's, "If you gave his corpse an enema he could be buried in a matchbook." I'm sure they believe the parts that make them special, not so sure they are ready to put their balls on the line for the finer points of dogma.

Perhaps they believe that this game of chicken will have an effect on the Republican party and their candidates. I've just had a horrific vision of Rudy Giuliani having a religious conversion, finding 'Jesus', and taking the reverend Dr. Dobson as his personal spiritual adviser. He gets the sins of his multiple marriages and 'rah, rah, abortion!' stance wiped cleaner than Gee Dub's three decades of women, booze and cocaine blow jobs. This line of thinking be too frightening to con-type-plate.

Most likely, Dobson and the other fucking cretins who occupy similar positions of power within the totalitarian hierarchy of his 'religious movement' suffer from the most characteristic malady of the evags: an apparently pathological inability to perceive themselves in a critical light. While most of us possess useful inhibitions that anticipate social disdain and avoid actions that will lead to such derision, evags seem to represent an social evolution where that inhibition/level of understanding has been lost. I think it grows out of the fact that they only care about the opinions of others who have also 'found Jeesus.' They perceive all the rest of us as 'proto-christians' waiting to be saved, and thus cement in their own status as a lesser group. . . this be tangential.

Most likely, Dobson and the other fucking cretins have misjudged their own importance. Since they cannot comprehend themselves in a self-critical way, they will continue to see the pandering of Karl Rove and Gee Dumb as some sort of actual proximity to power. The real 'powers that be' will select the Republican nominee and then they will find a way to sell him to their credulous flock of sub-humans. That is wherein their value lies, when they stop being valuable. . . well, this is a capitalistic society. . . (sort of)
