Praise Jesus, it's the collapse of evangelical Christian rule in America. Rejoice!
Halle-fuckin'-luja! 'Bout goddam time.
Because right now, there is perhaps no greater item we as a struggling human ant farm can be grateful for, no single social emetic we can look to for inspiration or hope or a happy tingly sensation in our collective groinal region indicating a possible move away from our long-standing Dick-Cheney-in-hell attitude of shrill bleakness, alarmism and religious righteousness than the simply wonderful implosion of the evangelical Christian right that's happening right now in America.
But when you come right down to it, the Great Truism has been validated once again: Righteous fundamentalism, be it Christian, Islamic, or otherwise, has the seeds of its own destruction built right into its very framework, a priori and de facto and by default. Powered by the deeply joyless engines of fear and shame, it can never quench its own impotent desires.
And for that, we can all praise Jesus indeed.
Do. Not. Miss. This. One.
"...it can never quench its own impotent desires." They'll keep trying. On Rapture Day they'll all go to Heaven and start telling God how he ought to be doing things. He'll set 'em straighter than we ever could, and then direct 'em to the 'down' elevator.
