...is what I've been calling them.
They're blind to the real teachings of Christ.
They're a dangerous group and Conservatives Without Conscience* have been playing them against progressives for years now - and winning.
The alarming thing about twisted Christians is their willingness to follow leaders without questioning.
Not surprisingly they believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible.
Neoconservatives are leading BushCo, the twisted Christians and the entire planet - into the apocalypse.
Corporate Fascists are stealing everything that isn't nailed down, as if they believe in the end times too.
I've never been so scared in all of my 66 years.
If I may offer some thoughts that have helped me understand these people - many are my friends.
I wouldn't call them "twisted Christians" to their faces.
I've learned not to engage them in arguments over the infallibility of the Bible.
Even though I know the scholars are mostly right.
There are think tanks producing materials for twisted Christians.
Talking points for arguing the Bible and Creationism in the face of logic and common sense.
You can argue with them endlessly and they will never get it.
I'm convinced most Twisted Christians can't turn to the light on their own.
They're genuinely afraid of abandoning their delusions.
I think their leaders must be exposed and discredited first.
Most of them are crooked hypocrites that know exactly what they are doing.
Many have already fallen from grace - Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Jones, Jim & Tammy Bakker, Ralph Reed -
Just to name a few.
But the cleverest of them are still out there brainwashing the followers, endangering the planet.
Pat Robertson and Reverend Moon are my top two targets - aside from Karl Rove.
I was blown away the other day when I heard Pat Robertson say,
"Something should be done about global warming".
Pat is just trying to get out in front of another parade.
Maybe he should pray for global warming to go away, just like the hurricane.
Robertson is a lot smarter than Falwell - Falwell just plays hate politics.
Pat has been planning his Christian coup since the early 80's.**
Robertson has a criminal mind and we can prove it to the twisted Christians.
A lot easier than convincing them of the fallibility of the Bible.
Reverend Moon is smarter than all of them and a real criminal.
"Moonies" are thoroughly brainwashed.
Reverend Moon bailed out Falwell's failing empire.
Moon has spent many millions publishing the right wing Washington Times.
But Moon owns the Pacific seafood industry.
Bushdaddy has given speeches at Moonie events and been paid for it.
Moon was crowned "The New Messiah" in the House Office Building.
The event was attended by several Congressmen as well as other DC bigwigs.
Fascists hang together - and now they have almost all of the marbles.
*Conservatives Without Conscience: John Dean delves into Sociology research and reveals the authoritarian personality - the dominating leader and the follower types.
"One of the things a conscience is supposed to do is make us act better, but when you have a means of eliminating guilt, there is not much incentive to clean up your act."
**Katherine Yurica has the goods on Pat Robertson. Check out her website. http://www.yuricareport.com/
I think The Interfaith Alliance has been addressing this problem in a responsible way:
