Proud, Willful Ignorance

This is, as Sullivan editorializes, Chirsitianism personified. It's also pathetic as hell. 



Q: What about voting against your husband's economic interests? A: God will take care of us. Yeesh.

This woman's myopia reminds me of the story of the guy who's stranded on top of his house after a flood, who refuses three rescues attempts, explaining that god will save him. After drowning and going to heaven, he questions god about his failure to save him and god says something to the effect of "Well, I tried three times; you ignored me."

These types of people never seem to get that their god maybe, just maybe, gave them a brain so that they can reason through issues and that it's wasteful and disrespectful to leave the faculty untouched. Or, put more simply (for their sake), what about the old adage "god helps those who help themselves?"

Ignorance is one thing, but proud, willful ignorance is inexcusable. And these mental and spiritual midgets disgust me.

You've all probably seen this wack job by now, but if not, you shouldn't miss it. I've posted about the bizarre and homophobic Minnesota representative, Michelle Bachmann, before, but this is just teh awesomest:



Matthews has been on a tear this year, nailing these jackasses. Good boy, Chris.

The funniest thing, though—and the one that may very well prove the existence of god—her opponent, El Tinklenberg, has raised near $500,000 since that video has aired. In a year expecting a big Democratic wave, Bachmann may well have engineered her own going drowning. There's also a move to censure the esteemed representative. Click here to sign the online petition.
