i’ll put this one in the i’m-a-christian-but-not-that-kind-of-christian category


from SoMA Review

A religious troupe in Maryland now sells a Christian Flag of the United States of America. According to the website they’re “loving [their] Jesus in the U.S. of A.” And they’ve got a flag to prove it.

The flag features an eagle carrying a blood-stained cross (“the American Christian taking the gospel around the world”); 50 stars around the border (“US Christians banding together to protect [their] right to preach the gospel”); and some apocalyptic punch courtesy of the Gospel of Matthew and King James (“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world…and then shall the end come” – chapter 24, verse 14).

The gold-fringed edition goes for 50 God-trusting bucks.


you have got to be kidding me...

This is especially offensive to me after the interview I heard today on NPR with Senator Rick Santorum, in which he actually had the gall to suggest that he is persecuted for being a Christian. He listed a whole slew of adjectives (the most docile--"idiot") by which he has lately been labeled by "the left" for being against gay marriage and abortion. However, I believe he mistakes the reason those people have used said adjectives. He thinks it's because he's "taking a stand" for Christian values and that he's being persecuted. I say it's because he really is said "idiot".
