Last week, a righteous band of evangelical Protestants (! I think that's what it said...is there such a thing?), by my recollection at least, attacked a group of voodoo practitioners having an outdoor ceremony to honour those who died in the recent calamity that was administered by the loving hand of almighty God. Indeed, what else would a sane person do. Well, not that. But if you are the kind of person who has faith that your particular brand of delusion is real and all other imaginary sky-pixies are not, and feel threatened by this encroachment onto the turf of stupidity that you claim as your own, you just might want to throw stones and rant and rave like a lunatic. It is somewhat like arguing over who is the better super hero, Batman or Spiderman, except Batman is at least passingly plausible. No, it is more like arguing which animated anthropomorphic barnyard animal is the best, Porky Pig or Daffy Duck. Seriously, if this is such an affront to Jeebus and his dad, don't you thik they would have the (metaphorical) cohones to stand up for themselves. Maybe not, as most deities seem to have their almighty feelings hurt at the drop of a hat. Once progressive countires like Ireland have taken a step back into the dark ages and made blasphemy a crime, punishable by a hefty fine and a few hail Marys. Meanwhile, on the absolute apeshit crazy end of the spectrum, we have the religion of Peace, Islam, where drawing a cartoon of their make-believe prophet churns the masses into a cauldron of revenge-hungry would-be murderers, all because God is a fucking woosy cry-baby who can't stand being poked fun at.
Maybe God ws too busy shaking the living shit out of Chile of late to be bothered with striking down the Voodoo-ers and sent an ambiguous message to the one or two functioning brain cells of an evangelical screwball commanding them to get on the case and throw some rocks, in good, old-fashioned Bible style. Haiti certainly has enough rubble to provide amble projectiles.
Well, voodoo is an evil force for sure. They have zombies, the undead which...wait...isn't Jesus technically a zombie? Now I am confused. In any case, I am expecting some fun times in Haiti, what with the Evangelicals stoning the Voodoo folk, the voodoos fighting the evangelists and the Scientoligists walking around looking stupid in yellow T-shirts and calling on Xenu for guidance. Its a friggin' monkey house down there, a full blown screeching, feces flinging monkey house.
