We KNEW you hated sex! Hired guns for Fundagelicals slip, Freudishly
By Dr. Shoeshine | July 22, 2008
So American Heresy fans will find it no surprise that we’re no fans of “The Secret” or any other blame-the-victim idiotologies, however, at times like these we are reminded of those proverbial math problems involving Train A and Train B barreling toward each other on the same track at high rates of speed. High fives all around when this happens!
So, the backstory is that Obama’s Number One Fan also talks about random squishy pseudospiritual crap. No, seriously, we know this isn’t news, but apparently it is to a number of fundies, who are no doubt so incensed at her capacity to influence their nice white women in favor of the big scary black man that they’ve hired writers to flood the Jesusphere with jeremiads warning against Oprah’s false prophecy or somesuch. To wit:
In recent months, Southern Baptist newspaper editors also have written editorials declaring “It’s time for Christians to just say no to the big O” and calling her a source of “foolish twitter and twaddle.” And Charisma, a prominent charismatic and Pentecostal magazine, ran a story in its July issue with the headline “Oprah’s Strange New Gospel.”
The “big O?”
Really?
Pardon us the juvenile snickering, but come on. The inability of any of their league of trained rhetoricians to catch the painfully obvious joke here ought to tell us the degree of warping of certain religious minds. We’re totally going with the Freudian take on this.
