Is God Patriotic Enough?
Note: this is taken from The Simpsons, on the marquee out in front of the church.
A friend of mine commented that he would like to put this on a T-Shirt. We got to talking about the can of worms opened up by this small sentence, this group of four words that, when contemplated with even a modicum of common sense, seemingly blows clean out of the water a philosophy that is overtaking our society like a plague. War-mongering Christians. Isn't that an odd combination? It should be, but it's not, in the bizarro-world we now live in. We have, for instance, Pro-Lifers that support the Death Penalty, without a hint of irony. What the hell is wrong with people?
