I guess being christian is somehow equated with being republican. My father-in-law is a southern dixie Jimmuh Carter democrat who can’t stand NeoCons. I guess that makes him smart. Wait, like Jimmy he is Christian, check that he is stupid.
Ahh, but he has a PhD, and teaches college, he can’t be stupid. Oh wait his PhD is in theology, he must be a dummy. His career was spent overseas, enlightening him to many cultures, outside of our boorish American ways so he is back out of “dummy”. Ah crap he was a Christian missionary spreading dangerous western culture. Forget all that stuff about getting clean running water, setting up primary care clinics, etc. His intentions were not noble enough (pay no attention to the ACTION, with liberals and the mind police it is your INTENTION that matters)
After all he wasn’t doing that stuff on the government tit, but instead through the voluntary donations of others who clearly had an agenda. (Go and make disciples)
I’ll let him know that if he wants acceptance of the enlightened, he’ll need to become less a humble servant, and more a critic of the bourgeois.
