This is the great thing about rabid fundamentalism. You really just don't have to give a damn. Take the environment. I mean, isn't it just a little pointless to care so damn deeply about the air and the soil and the water and the stupid little disposable animals on this silly spinning ball of expendable rock when the Second Coming is imminent and a blood-soaked fire-breathin' Jesus who looks remarkably like Mel Gibson will return very soon to smite the heathens and the gays and the vegetarians and the Francophiles, and who will rescue all those who worship patriarchy and country music and blue-chip oil portfolios? You're goddamn right it is.

Look. This much has become clear. Bush is, more than anything else, an extreme fundamentalist Christian. He is widely regarded as the most openly pious and sanctimonious president in modern American history. He actually preaches the GOP screed in evangelical churches across America. He panders so slavishly to the anti-choicers and the Bible-thumpers and the homophobes it makes Jerry Falwell swoon and giggle.

And Bush actually says, out loud, that God speaks through him, and that God is on our side we bomb the living crap out of Afghanistan and Iraq and that it is the Almighty's wish that we take control of these angry pip-squeak nations and in so doing kill thousands of civilians and tens of thousands of young Iraqi soldiers, as over 1,000 American soldiers are now dead over a makeshift cause that never really existed. God wanted it this way, that's why.

Bush has called Jesus his "favorite philosopher." He has claimed that the act of being "born-again" saved him from a long, sad life of vaguely homoerotic frat parties and repetitive binge drinking and going AWOL from the National Guard,

Let's see, liberal bigots in SF hate Christianity...nothing new here.

[RockinRight]

Morford, STFU you homo-weenie.

[Sister_T]

[Puppage]

Bush is, more than anything else, an extreme fundamentalist Christian

Why? Because he believes in God, goes to church, is against homos, and doesn't stick cigars in young women?

[Buggman]

Comes across as a wee bit panicked, doesn't he? And by "wee bit," I mean that he's got this big stain on the lap of his pants for some reason.

Post November 2nd dem reality kit:

blood-soaked fire-breathin' Jesus who looks remarkably like Mel Gibson

WTFO?!?!

[petro45acp]

SFD!


SFU!!


Clueless!!!

[gunnygail]

Followed by a TALL DRINK to MAKE sure they get the job done right!

[atomicpossum]

Isn't it ironic that someone so filled with hate is so proud to say he's gay?

[Kackikat]

Hey Jim, this thread belongs on DU website, this must be Al Gore's screename.

[gunnygail]

I'M GLAD he's gay. His genes WILL NOT be passed on. (Normally that is) Thank God. The libby gaybos are exterminating themselves and I, for one, am digging it!

[ArrogantBustard]

You dissin' my screenie, boyo?

[ArrogantBustard]

For all we know, some lesbo(s) have a turkey-baster deal going with him ...

[andy58-in-nh]

Well, now: more sick, twisted, foaming-at-the-mouth insanity from Sodom-on-the-Pacific. Please keep it up, Morford: we'd like to win California, too. Ravings like this just help normal people realize how crazy the American Left has become.

[MikefromOhio]

what happened to "I'm ssshuper sthankss for assking?" !!!!

[Free ThinkerNY]

You have to admit, Morford is kinda cute

[netmilsmom]

Nothing a little Haldol shot in the butt won't cure.
I'm sure he is used to getting things in his butt.

[Pondman88]

Stop posting this POS!!!

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

I'm going to have to get me a subscription to the SF Chronicle. It's a doozy.

[zide56]

This guy's problem obviously isn't with George W. Bush. Tsk, tsk.

[Salamander]

Even those whose hearts are hardened in their sins have an innate knowledge of God.
Those who are fighting against that knowledge the hardest seem to shriek the loudest.
Their fear of the truth drives them to obsessively deny it.

As hard as it may be to do, pray for him.

[marmar]

Be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.Regardless of what your personal choice is....God is still God.

[Jaysun]

blasphemer

[marmar]

I know several gay men.....and they are an angry group of people, from my point of view. Sad but true.

Why?

[lilylangtree]

If Botox Ketchupman gets in along with his dud sidekick Bobby Socks, you betcha the end times are here.

[NRA1995]

I refuse to take seriously a disgruntled liberal cow with matching udders fore and aft

[WashingtonSource]

Miss Morford is off her medications again and onto to the street drugs -- this looks like a real meth-inspired piece.

[Arrowhead1952]

Hey Jim, this thread belongs on DU website, this must be Al Gore's screename.

Here is what is needed for this article.

[dangus]

Oh, he hates bush, that's for sure.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

Is it just me...or does one just feel the need to take a shower after reading this?

[ozzymandus]

These nuts are so crazy it makes a funny read.

[DannyTN]

The author is an idiot.

The end times are not the end of the world, nor is Armeggedon. Jesus will reign on earth for 1000 years after this. And people will live for almost 1000 years too. It's probably going to get a little crowded.

So to say Christians view the earth as disposable is a little premature.

[Chad Fairbanks]

And people will live for almost 1000 years too

I signed up for that whole "til death do us part" thing, but no one said it would be THAT long.

Now I'm scared. Hold me.

[liberalsneedmeds]

I am new here folks, I have lurked for a couple of years. This article made me register. I have read some nasty vile stuff from Liberal idiots but this guy takes the cake!

I look forward to freeping...

[eclectic]

Deus lo volt!

[Sender]

Hopefully Morford will have a massive stroke on Nov 3 when he wakes up and reads BUSH REELECTED, WEIRDOS APOPLECTIC, SKY FALLS IN SF.

[unlearner]

"There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming?' " 2 Peter 3:3-4

This prophecy is being fulfilled now.

The prophecy of Christ's return will also be fulfilled, and this author will not be laughing and ridiculing then.

[DannyTN]

"I signed up for that whole "til death do us part" thing, but no one said it would be THAT long. Now I'm scared. "

You are so screwed!!!

[GeorgiaYankee]

He actually preaches the GOP screed in evangelical churches across America.

Yeah! Like that highly political speech he gave at Riverside Church. Oops! That was Bill Clinton.

will return very soon to smite the heathens and the gays and the vegetarians and the Francophiles

Well, it would certainly prove that god answers my prayers.

[jimfree]

Talk about sanctimony!

[TheDon]

To be ignorant is one thing, but to have your ignorance displayed in a newspaper for everyone to see is quite embarrassing.

As with most liberal statements, simply invert it and you have the truth. If Mark had only read the Bible, he would know God commands man to care for the earth.

[Kackikat]

No More Gore, No More Gore...let us chant it together.

[Kackikat]

No More Gore, No More Gore...let us chant it together.

[ArrogantBustard]

WTF? Dude, you're more whacked out than morford. Take a chill pill. Wash it down with a beer.

A real beer.

Not some of that fizzy yellow stuff that morford drinks.

Don't make me come lookin' fer ya..

Morford: Apocalypse Bush! (Why care for the planet when the End Times are almost here?)

"End Times" Sounds like a homsexual paper Morford would write for.
