Morford: Is Your Religion Unsanitary? Join the godless throngs now!)

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Friday, February 20, 2004 | Mark Morford, there is no less sanitary human behavior than gay sex

Is your god telling you, like it tells G.W. Bush every night, that your unwanted unprovoked ultraviolent war against a nearly defenseless nation is not only justified and righteous, but is His deepest wish?

And does your religion tell you, like it tells so many of the Christian Right, that homosexuals are a dire threat to humankind and should be stopped at all costs before the so-called gay agenda sneaks into the playground and the drinking water and the "Spongebob" scripts and starts covertly converting our blessed innocent hetero children to a life of sin?

And does your heart tell you that homosexuals are a dire threat to humankind and should be stopped at all costs before the so-called gay agenda sneaks into the playground and the drinking water and the "Spongebob" scripts and starts covertly converting our blessed innocent hetero children to a life of sin?

Yeah, that pretty well spells it out.

Liberals cannot tolerate the idea of God or of even a supreme being, as it means there is someone in the universe that is smarter than they are.

I guess that's why they can't tolerate conservatives, either. It's common knowledge, even among the liberals, that conservatives are, as a group, much more intelligent -- although liberals are loath to admit it.

Is morford a sissy?

Whatever gave you that idea?

Lk !2:51 - "Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law."

Lk 22:36 - "He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."

Looks like Jesus has his own agenda in spite of what the anti-christian establishment has to say.

God has a plan, after all. This is what they say. He has an incredibly obtuse and impossibly dense master blueprint that explains all the war and death and burned babies in Iraq, all the cancer and animal cruelty and Lynne Cheney, and you are just too small and unevolved to possibly understand, or do anything about it.

Lynne Cheney? I mean, really. Lynne Cheney? LOL, Miss Morford gets extra credit for the sheer hysteria and irrationality of this one.

This guy needs to get married or take a bath.

This Morford creature's work (to judge from the articles of his that I've seen on FR) would be considered an impressive performance for a high schooler, about par for the course for a undergraduate newspaper editor-and it's ludicrous that a grown man would write such cant, such stereoytped drivel. It's even more ludicrous that a major metropolitanm newspaper allows such poor-quality hack work in its pages, rather than a lucid thinker with quality prose-right or left.

[Slings and Arrows]

I could pick ten nutjob blogs at random, and at least five would contain better-written and more coherent insane rants than this one. Why on G-d's good earth does a major newspaper associate itself with this nutter, however tenuous the association?

About the only good thing I can say about Madame Morford is that he's more of a woman than Maureen Dowd will ever be.

[Triple Word Score]

Burned babies...Lynne Cheneys....

Well, maybe she's a poet, and doesn't know it, but her feet show it....

This is truly sad. I've commented on Mofford before, but without a doubt, this sick, twisted man is truly paranoid and bordering insanity. His anti-theist hatred is almost unprecidented in its viciousness and venom. This virulent screed is only seperated from the blackned perfidy of the likes of the perverted Ernst Rohm of the SA by decades of time, but certainly not in substance. One can only hope he might find some sort of peace and redemption, but pardom me if I fail to see how that might come about.
