His compassion is like a piece of costume jewelry, he puts it on when he has someone to impress but it's not really "him"... ![]() |

Those drought stricken mid-western farmers are as conservative as you can get, and you poke fun at their religious beliefs. Your points of view are no more accurate than any of your other assumptions or conclusions. My "fun-poking" at organized religion knows no geographical borders. I got my first college degree out there among Mid Western farmers and had and have a good number of friends from those days who were and are religious. One of my college roomies was a devout young man who became an Episcopal priest. The irony is that while he believed in a creator, he didn't really give much credence to religion. After he graduated from seminary, he decided the best way to serve his maker was to counsel and sooth the incarcerated. Another college roomie was as Southern Baptist as they came in those days, and we're best friends to this day. I'm an agnostic, not an atheist. I have no way of knowing if there is a creator, though the logical part of my mind tells me there isn't one. I don't connect a creator with the religions man has created to service his beliefs and superstitions. As far as the drought goes, I don't think a creator has anything to do with it, one way or other other, nor do I believe rain will follow the prayers of any religious sect. But many of "the religious" do. -- I'm a liberal because the militant fundamentalist ignorant science-denying religious xenophobic corporate oligarchy of modern Republican conservatism just doesn't work for me or my country. |
