Obama resigns his membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ.....

....and it's the eeevvvviiiilll neo-cons fault! I am currently listening to him on FOX blame everyone except himself for this turn of events. If he ever gets elected president, get ready for a president who will never take responsibility for his mistakes and blame everyone else, but then, that's the liberal way.

Update: Just before the end of his news conference, he said that his religious beliefs and his church had been under more scrutiny than any other president candidate. Obviously, he has forgotten all the scrutiny that Mitt Romney's religious beliefs got during the Repubican primary. I guess Obama is starting to actually believe that he is the new Democratic messiah that will lead the US to the promised land.

It is obvious to anyone that doesn't have liberal blinders on that Obama is even more of a narcissist than Bill Clinton, which is something that I would have never believed possible.

Gimme Dat New Age Religion!

Downtown Salt Lake City was the scene of a big religious revival Saturday, with thousands listening to music, singing, chanting, and learning of The Gospel.

The Gospel according to Al Gore, that is.

Yep, over 3,000 adherents of the newest of the New Age religions -- Gaia worship -- gathered in SLC to spread the Good Word. This was held in conjunction with other revivals across the nation. The goal is to preach the Good Word of Climate Change and force (via Congressional fiat) that everyone obeys it. I mean, cutting your carbon emissions by 80% in 43 years is going to take alot of sacrifice (and you damn well better do it, heretic).

But what about all that CO2 that the event itself emitted? I mean, celebrities and rock groups don't walk to these events, you know. And they don't even ride in electric cars, either. All those stretch limos and private jets have big carbon footprints.

Never fear, o ye of little faith. Our public utility, Rocky Mountain Power, stepped in and provided some indulgences in the form of carbon credits to absolve the participants for their frivolous gas-guzzling. I'm not sure how RMP stopped the emission of 11 tons of carbon; I don't remember them shutting down their coal- or gas-fired plants during the event. But they said they did it, and that's enough for those who Truly Believe.

That's the beauty of the indulgence carbon credit system: All it takes is a little donation to the environmentally-friendly charity of your choice, and Gaia will forgive all.

Mark Steyn, who describes himself as a "world-class demography bore", has yet another example of how those who have kids end up controlling the world. Well, not quite, but he points out to those who think Mormons are weird religious fringe-types that within a decade or so there will be more of them than Jews, Presbyterians, or most other "mainline" Christian churches.

This echoes what I've been saying here for quite a while. As I put it when considering the future of gay marriage, my wife and I have four children. Andrew Sullivan and his partner have a beagle. In 2020, which household will have a greater influence on the political process?
