Probably heard that the Church of Satan wanted to offer a counterpoint, to “teach the controversy”.

Subtitled The Go$pel According to the POG (PartyOfGreed)

I heard somewhere that the book is a rewrite of the NewTestament that reflects the values of TeaXians.

Green’s updated version has a new book:

Midas where the love of $$$$ is encouraged but the wimpy Jesus stuff of ‘Love them as I have loved you’ has been redacted.

An Oklahoma school district cancelled plans to offer a religious course created by Hobby Lobby President Steve Green following outcry from activists, according to Raw Story.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is not an ‘activist’ group, they are a watchdog group who exists to thwart religious activists.

Hobby Lobby would not provide legal coverage for the course.

Meaning that the school district didn’t want to pay the ACLU’s legal fees when they lost at trial.

The problem is that there are too many wealthy christianists trying to impose their view of Christianity and not enough Christains.

In my view when people ask “What Would Jesus Do?”, they may not like the answer.

Assuming they would teach the standard fundamentalist hellfire and damnation screed it appears that the course would advocate mirth control.

Also meaning that they knew the course was sketchy from a legal standpoint in the first place.

How hypocritical,and obnoxious is the religious right. They scream they don’t want evolution taught to their kids, but are perfectly fine with shoving their religious nonsense on to yours.

Evanjihaddist please! The Talib is an ethnic group after all with clearly espoused objectives on taking over the governance./s

Evangelicals OTOH are doing GOD’s work for any number of secularists, the Fred C. Koch twins, ALEC, Federalists, hewing to the good works of Jakes, Osteen, Hinn, others and uncounted franchises with the name Calvary attached.

“Museum of the Bible”, somehow allowing an amusement park into the lexicon of DC museums, seems antithetical.
