SOUTHERN BAPTISTS: OKAY WITH SNAKES BUT NOT IVF

It’s been tough holding off on religion in politics or vice versa nearly three years but now? Now the word of their god (small g) is that 1 of 5 babies born this past decade are abominations! Satan, get thee behind me! Oh MY gods (also small g)!! Sorry, but we gotta back this up a couple score years

My parents raised me Roman Catholic. Even entertained notions of me in seminary school. Not just my mom and dad either. My huge Catholic clan, of which I have nearly 50 cousin, were all genuflectors and bless me father for I have sinned folks. Not just Sunday go to meeting to nosh some flat bread and vino either. Catholic rules and regs have led to my hatred of fish as an entree. I stayed at an upper class, beach front, nude beach hotel (a later tale of decadence inappropriate here) 20 years ago and the breakfast meat of choice ain’t meat. It’s fucking fish! Not remembering that Mexico is one of the most Catholic countries in the world. Man, I’m a dumbass! At this point some fifty or sixty years ago there were three major religions: Judaism, Catholicism and a few major brands of Protestants. Much less contact with the middle-east back then so Islam was barely on the radar. The listed above religions were pretty much at war. I was in Catholic grade school and we weren’t supposed to talk to the publics (public school kids). Of course we all played baseball, basketball, football, etc after school anyway. And those bastard public schoolboys had HUGE leg up when it came to sex ed. Bastards! And in any event all church secrets for all denominations were held close to the vest. The first time I remember religion bursting forth into politics was (drum roll please) JFK v Nixon. Non Catholic, stone throwing thought was that the election of a papist would mean that POTUS would be taking orders from Rome. The election came and went and Kennedy was certainly not behaving like a good Catholic schoolboy. But Religion had been unleashed into the body politic and vice versa. The separation of church and state began to fade until we’ve arrived in our current state with this morning’s move by the Southern Baptist Alliance declaring envitro fertilization to be a sin. Thou shalt not kill to be precise. A good commandment to be sure but like I said – up to 20% of recent births have resulted in a lot of sinful little buggers out there. I’m not quite clear who bears the mark of Cain, parents or child. It’s a lot like Catholic cant, unbaptized children are purgatory bound. Loving it you religious scholars? Why don’t you go back to war over the big bang theory and Darwinism and leave the kids alone? Assholes!

We’ve arrived to Donnie Chump being the sweetheart of the Baptists and a lot of the other prominent Protestant denominations. Why? They managed to get a panel of look ya in the eye liars who overturned Roe and who’ve made it clear they ain’t done yet. How did this happen? They paid the price of a man most likely to ask a woman to get an abortion elected president and are trying it again. I mean really? If he had impregnated the actress Stormy Daniel’s do you really think he’d say “Please, O please my love have our child! Damn those millions of voters and my pregnant wife! I love kids!” Hmmm? I don’t think so. Wouldn’t have mattered. He’s just an expensive means to an end. So to all the snake handling, hot coal walking, speaking in tongue voters I guess it’s Hate The Sin Not The Sinner. My Southern Baptist mother is weeping in her heaven.
