Tea party activist: ‘Jesus Christ is weeping in heaven’ over pope’s criticism of capitalism'

166. Absurdity upon absurdity.

This is the kind of nonsense that religious belief leads to. According to this man, the "son of God" is "weeping in heaven" because of something someone called "the Pope" said.

Anyone can believe whatever they want, but accepting this short statement requires you to believe an awful lot of hooey. You must believe in an all-powerful being who is invisible and undetectable but is for some reason male. You must believe that this male god had a human child (male, of course), without involving a woman except as a carrier and delivery vehicle. You must believe that this male child is ALSO a "god". You must believe that this male son god died and was bodily transported to a place somewhere in outer space called "Heaven", and that as a result the sins of everyone who hears and believes this tall tale are forgiven on the spot. You must believe that this male son god somewhere in outer space is "weeping", despite being all-powerful and omniscient, and having created the entire Universe in the first place (or was that Dad?). Finally, you must believe that the weeping male son god in outer space holds conservative, far-right-wing views about an economic system called capitalism.

My goodness. That is a LOT of hooey to believe in all at once! But these people do it without batting an eye. No WONDER so many of them believe that Obama was born in Kenya. That's an incredibly easy lift compared with the son god hooey!
