Pastor delivers God’s State of the Union: Obama follows Satan and Jesus can fix the debt

10. Joe Arpaio is a carbuncle on the ass of humanity and deserves to be under his own jail.

I'd launch into a diatribe of his crimes, but you probably are already quite knowledgable there so I'll save my breath.

Those voting guides are going to cause a lot of churches to lose their tax exempt status, and it can't happen soon enough to suit me. Even though I'm a cradle RC temporarily visiting the local UMC, where I've warned them they're going to bring the righteous wrath of the ACLU down on their deserving heads. Yes, that almost invariably falls on deaf ears and gets me chewed out for a heretic sometimes.

Though I am pleased to see the recent arrival of a younger pastor who seems free of such idiocy. He also stresses that everyone's invited to participate in appropriate groups because he knows what a bunch of xenophobic geese most of these MidWesterners are. There are a precious few members of existing groups who've even made a point to invite me individually, and I've thanked them from the bottom of my heart; but also had to tell them there are enough in the other camp that all hell would break loose if I tried to participate. I've already been sternly warned, including by the previous pastor!
