RightNation.US member lyria checked out the scene as the visiting Benedict XVI made his way through the nation's capitol today. According to a delightfully hilarious post by lyria, the hawkers were strange enough, but:
The real show was the protesters. I love a good freakshow. When I heard the angry voice through the bullhorn, I was expecting a gay rights group, a reproductive rights group, or maybe something about female ordination or the pedophilia scandals. No..... They were protesting the existence of Catholicism. No, really, they were. I am not joking. Once I realized it, I started looking for the Death Cookie Chick tracts! Alas, they had none. I was hoping to expand my collection...Bullhorn Guy was actually saying, "My God is red hot. Your god ain't doodley squat." And so he has inspired another Painter parody! The tune of "My Girl is Red Hot" started running through my brain, and I knew I just couldn't rest until I had unmerciufully tortured another song. So, with apologies to Ronnie Hawkins & the Hawks:Sorry for all net shouting, but since the bullhorn was right in front of me only excessive use of capital letters can really capture the moment. He never actually looked at me except the one time, which was weird.
Bullhorn Guy: .... YOUR GOD CAN DIE! THAT'S WHY HE RIDES AROUND IN A POPEMOBILE!
Me: Excuse me.
Bullhorn Guy: OUR GOD IS ETERNAL! OUR GOD IS THE LIVING GOD!
Me, waving at him: Excuse me.
Bullhorn Guy: BOW DOWN BEFORE YOUR FALSE GOD!
Me: I'd just like to ask you one quick question.
Bullhorn Guy: JUST A SEC! I HAVE TO ANSWER A QUICK QUESTION!
Me: What church are you with?
Bullhorn Guy: WHAT CHURCH AM I WITH! (note the punctuation. That was distinctly not a question mark.) I AM A BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIAN! I AM WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF CHRIST! I WILL GO TO HEAVEN WHEN I DIE!
Me: Excuse me, would you call yourself an Evangelical?
Bullhorn Guy: YOU CATHOLICS ARE GOING TO HELL!
Me: I'm an atheist. (Yeah, I'm not really. But there is no neat label for me.)
Bullhorn Guy: *blink*
Bullhorn Guy: YOUR GOD CAN DIE! THAT'S WHY HE RIDES AROUND IN A POPEMOBILE! OUR GOD IS ETERNAL! OUR GOD IS THE LIVING GOD!

ROMAN CATHOLICS
ARE THE
DEVIL
YOU ARE GOING
TO GO TO:
HELL
There are loons of every stripe.
As long as the Muslims go first (Big grin).
Seriously tho, I’m confused. Did I miss an announcement or something?
When did the Pope become God?
Slash-and-burn evangelism strikes again!
I have seen this before, professionals refer to it as........ Pope-Mobile envy. lol
I know that feeling. I told a guy the other day that I was a 7th day agnostic. Which still isnt right.
Pope Derangement Syndrome
BS
Your god aint doodly squat!!;-)
You too are too funny!
oops poor proofreading . You two, I mean
Evangelicals, like Huckabee and his supporters may not agree with everything the Catholics religion teaches but still respect the Pope and the Catholic Church. The protester said very mean things and was not representing Evangelical views. We are united in worshiping the same God and Son of God, Jesus.
Hehe... One crazed nut with a five years’ growth of scraggly beard was screaming out, “The Pope controls the U.S. government! Even they obey what he tells them to do!”
I was thinking, “Yeah, I wish!”
>> Wonder if Bullhorn Guy and his merry band are Huckabee supporters? <<
HUH? Fred Phelps, for instance, donated huge sums to Al Gore.
>> When did the Pope become God? <<
Well, if you don’t know, Opus Dei is NEVER gonna let me tell you.
Naw, I was there. There were a small number (I saw two) of deranged fundamentalists protesting. (Note, please, that “deranged” is used to modify, not amplify, “fundamentalist.”) The left was also there: someone had hired a truck to circle the (very large) block with a truck asking “When will women have equality?” Let’s just say the driver didn’t look Catholic.
Ten thousand dittos.
His god is red hot? Does that mean his god is Moloch? Or maybe Satan? Saying stuff like that, one suspects so.
A lot of protestants can’t tell the difference between deference, respect, veneration and worship, and therefore confound the deference and respect Latin Christians show the Bishop of Rome with worship. (Just like they confuse the veneration shown to the relics of saints or to the Holy Icons with worship.)
But as we know, there's no confusion about what is due the Supreme Godhead and what is due man when one is attending the Divine Liturgy. I haven't ever been to a Mass offered to St. Peter or to the Divine Pope of Rome!
Where do these Fundamentalists get their “facts” about Catholicism? This Papal protestor makes Jack Chick look ecumenical.
