LOL ... This pure Christian silliness.

LOL ... This pure Christian silliness.

An ABC news article on January 18th 2010 reported that a supplier of military quality weapon targeting telescopes has been inscribing a coded religious message embedded into the model number of every device he has manufactured and sold to the United States government.  The supplier is Trijicon Incorporated of Wixom, Michigan.

Good gosh. How silly is this?

It is not within the US military's policy to purchase items that tout religious slogans or messages and now they are in a quandary over what to do.  A supplier (and one who was likely aware of the government's attitude of religious neutrality) has craftily slipped one past them.  What to do..? What to do..?

I certainly don't understand the quirky Christian habit of inscribing odds and ends religious messages on everything in sight and on everything that can't say "no" or how a Christian might think that doing so will bring them special blessings from their god or from their fellow god-believing buddies.  I guess it all comes down to being some sort of cheap advertising gimmick, like that of the too familiar "Trust Jesus" graffiti found on bathroom walls, overpasses and bridges and back alley garage doors.  We've all come to dislike this sort of thing so much over the past half century but what can be done about it?  When will enough be enough?

I hope the government makes an issue of this case... honestly.  This is just way over-the-top too silly.

Those who would be President:

Those who would be President:

Pat Robertson did his best to rally the faithful behind his presidential bid back in 1988 and even beat George Bush Sr in the Iowa Republican caucuses... Holy Cows!

But guess what?  He was just as flaky then as he is today and fortunately a somewhat more reasonable voting public recognized that good ole Pat, even with God in his heart, was a lousy choice to put in the chief executive's seat of the world's only super power nation.  Thank the goodness of reason for that, eh?  The voters made the right choice and this week's comment from Pat Robertson (video) (that Haitians brought on themselves and deserved God's wrath as payment for their sins) should serve as a stark reminder to us all that weeding out flakes and over-the-top wacko presidential hopefuls is a very serious business.

And what's coming down the road that we ought to take a serious Pat Robertson-type look at... hmm?  How about Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee?

Good gosh! It's Pat all over again.

Yikes... What a way to start off the new year.

Yikes... What a way to start off the new year.

I'm as sick as a dog with the worst head cold I've had in years (sniff sniff) and all the home remedies I've tried aren't helping.  My nose is running. My head aches. My sinuses are clogged.  My eyes itch like there are fleas biting them... ugh, I'm worn out, pooped out and ready to call it quits.

I guess its time to make a tough decision and call in some professional help.  But who?

Should I send out an SOS to a Christian Science preacher or call Benny Hinn?  Would an Indian medicine man or a Chinese acupuncturist be a better choice?  Or perhaps I ought to just stop a passing truck driver and ask him to run me down in the street.  Gee whiz, it sure is hard to make a good choice when the options don't include a blond haired cheerleader.

I guess I'll figure it all out by morning. 

Would somebody please pass the NiQuil.
