In the diocese I belong to, they asked that we refrain from the Sign of Peace (shaking of hands and offering a "peace be with you" for those non-mackrel snappers) when the swine flu first came out.
They gave up the wine cup for a while too. The communal wine cup always skeeved me out -- and not just because it was crappy wine.
Which Jesus am I supposed to pray to? The one who advocated giving away all earthly belongings and devoting your life to the poor, or the one who thinks poor children should not have access to health care because their parents didn't work hard enough and want to sponge off hard working conservatives?
I love how anything the Right disagrees with is labeled as "PC." Like that's the worst slander they can come up with. Let me get this straight: you can either be politically correct (whatever that means—not being racist? believing climate change is real? wanting health insurance? Then yeah, I guess I'm politlcally correct) or you can pray. Um, okay. That's some airtight logic you've got there.
Is it praying when I listen to Beck ramble and think, "Holy Fucking Shit, who the fuck is this asshole?" Because that's as close as I can get these days.
You'd think that Beck was trying to get in front of the whole "don't blame me" situation, but his suggestion of prayer and a divine intervention could cause some unbalanced soul to think they're "The Messenger".
So, no, Glenn - If you don't agree with the direction of the country, you don't take up arms or pray for "assistance", you participate in the democratic process.
Beck starts out by saying "I've been thinking an awful lot lately".
Then where is the evidence of that?
Plus he phrased it wrong. It should have been "I've been doing a lot of awful thinking lately"
Juxtapose the pacifist Beck with the more militant hints he drops ever so liberally throughout his program. "I seem to recall all the Russian Czars died in the woods" wink wink
Here's a history lesson, Glenn. The Bolsheviks killed only one Czar. And he was killed by the Bolsheviks!
I pray Glenn Beck gets caught up in a sex scandal involving an 18-year-old boy, a bag full of oxycontin prescribed to Rush Limbaugh and manufactured by Levi Johnson's mother, and that horse that was just on the news. You know the one I mean.
Wait a second. Just, wait a second. Did anyone hear the very end of this clip? Seriously? With about 3 seconds left, Glenn Beck says off-camera over footage of Obama: "this guy's a black nationalist, communist..." and then Gretchen cuts him off / or the clip ends.
This is scary stuff.

By "church," I mean "detached garage," and by "the other congregants" I mean "my private shame."
