Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Could it be...SATAN heading for the White House?

by: Pam Spaulding

Huckabee and Romney are going to the mat over his Mormon beliefs. Oh, it's tasty, because WingNutDaily used this to move in for the fundie kill. Tee hee.
Satan has reared his ugly head in the 2008 presidential campaign - literally.

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has prompted angry denunciations of religious bigotry by rival Mitt Romney as well as an official retort from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for speculating in a New York Times Magazine interview this weekend that Mormons believe Jesus and Satan were brothers.

Stirred by the debate, the Associated Press sought clarification from Kim Farah, a spokeswoman from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

She said the question is usually raised by those who wish to smear the Mormon faith, but she evaded a direct answer to the question: "We believe, as other Christians believe and as Paul wrote, that God is the father of all. That means that all beings were created by God and are his spirit children. Christ, on the other hand, was the only begotten in the flesh and we worship him as the son of God and the savior of mankind. Satan is the exact opposite of who Christ is and what he stands for."

More to the point, the official website of the LDS church explicitly makes the sibling connection between Jesus and Lucifer a matter of official Mormon doctrine.

Perhaps Satan is running the Romney campaign. Take a look at this, and protect your keyboards. (via Sully, h/t oddjob).

Voters of Iowa, Mitt Romney is desperate to let you know that when it comes to family values, he's the family value-est. Both Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are in favor of a constitutional amendment to only allow normal people to get married, but did you know that only Mitt Romney raised the stakes and now wants the amendment to say that only heterosexual couples have the right to own property, to vote, or to have the latest cool gadgets. You may have heard that Mitt Romney supported gay marriage when he was the governor of Massachusetts, but that means that only Mitt Romney knows how gay marriage has devastated that state. The streets are filled with orphans in Massachusetts, and giant rats feed on the flesh of the few remaining survivors. Mitt Romney is opposed to giant gay flesh eating rats, Mike Huckabee loves them.

And that thing Mike Huckabee wanted to do --  putting AIDS patients in camps -- Mitt Romney would go one better...not just rounding up atheists, but also using waterboarding to see who's a believer and who isn't.

Mitt Romney...you used to like him.

So....

...if you read the book of John, Jesus existed before the foundations of the Earth. If that's the case, we're not talking about Jesus and Satan coming from the same human womb...

 

...and, um, if we believe God created everything, then God created Jesus and.... SATAN???!!! 

 

And this matters in the election exactly HOW? 

 

Some day, we'll have adults running for office.  Probably after voters start voting like adults.

This is so true, Cindi!

"Some day, we'll have adults running for office.  Probably after voters start voting like adults."

You get what you deserve.

Limbaugh listeners get Bush.

And we, the American imperialists, get to be a colony of the East: http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/SuperModels/HowForeignersAreBuyingUpOurBanks.aspx

WOW

GIANT GAY FLESH EATING RATS, LOL!

thank you, I needed that.



Lit-crit gasbag Harold Bloom

has several times made the observation that American religions like Mormonism and Southern Baptism have a lot in common with Gnosticism.  This is a classic instance.

Although the Hebrew term ha-satan, usually "adversary," was around in the "Hebrew Bible," Torah, OT, whichever you like, this character was not our medieval Devil yet.  That concept developed--surprise!--AFTER CHRIST.  If only my Judaism professor could visit Huck and set him straight on the history and sequence of the ideas.  Huck would probably cast the kosher-observing man out of his presence as an infidel.  In the meantime, here's Wikipedia's squib on Satan Old Testament and New Testament, not that you need that to doubt the ludicrous fantasy that Jesus and Satan were bros.  I've got to say, though, as a writer, that it's delicious and fascinating material.  Fascinate, by the way, is medieval Latin for "bewitch; cast a spell on by a look," which is what the Serpent is reputed to have done.  Ssssss....

Wait, my mistake...
...now that I've re-read it, it says Romney and the Mormons are the ones calling Satan and Jesus brothers.  I didn't know that that was official Mormon doctrine.  I've got to say I'm surprised.  I'd be willing to hear out some theologizing with some nuance on this, because the connection between Satan and Jesus is an old one, each thing has its opposite and all that.  They are two sides of the same coin, a lot of people have observed that, but, literally and simply saying they were REALLY BROTHERS?  Like, biological or otherwise?  That's something else, and a new one on me.

"not that you need that to doubt the ludicrous fantasy that Jesus and Satan were bros."

Which part is the ludicrous fantasy?

  • That Jesus and Satan were brothers?
  • That Jesus was the son of God made flesh, died and ascended into heaven?
  • That Satan was a rebellious angel whom God drop-kicked out of paradise?

D) All of the above.
Yes, I understand we're talking mythology here.  I probably treat Scripture as anthropologically and critically as anybody.  Addressing how fantastic it all is would have sidetracked me a bit too much, but I suppose it's well to point out.  My singling the Satan and Jesus bit out as especially nutty doesn't prevent other people from doubting the rest.  It's an interesting collection of texts, but if you want to put the whole thing in a paper shredder you won't hurt my feelings.
