God's mouth, Rush's ear, my ass

And, the religious left in this country hates and despises the God of Christianity and Catholicism and whatever else. They despise it because they fear it, because it's a threat, because that God has moral absolutes. That God has right and wrong, that God doesn't deal in nuance, that God doesn't deal in gray area, that God says, "This is right and that is wrong.

The words of, you guessed it, Rush Limbaugh. The Interfaith Alliance is upset over this statement, made on April 27, and has issued its own statement denouncing it.

Limbaugh's rhetoric is not new. Last June, he came out with this gem:

I mean, if there is a party that's soulless, it's the Democratic Party. If there are people by definition who are soulless, it is liberals-- by definition. You know, souls come from God. You know?

The popular talk show host and drug addict does set up an interesting theological discussion, however. I, for one, am willing to come forward and say that I do hate the God of the kind of "Christianity" and Catholicism (anyone notice that he made them separate religions?--that's called Catholic-bashing where I come from) that is being espoused in America today. And if there is another kind, then why aren't its followers loudly and vehemently protesting the Dobsons and DeLays?

D.E.D.,
I wonder what "That God" thinks of Rush's taking the Lord's name in vain, bearing false witness, being thrice divorced, coveting drugs, possible adultery, likely not observing the Sabbath, and I'm not sure what category this fits in, but forcing his maid to buy drugs for him? I'm thinking "That God," or any other, probably doesn't think that list is too hot.

My God, he is too hypocritical for words. What the heck kind of cognitive dissonance is this? He can't possibly hold all of these contradictions and hypocrisies in his mind, can he?

P.S. Great title.
