A Modest Proposal

[mhr]

To meet the challenges in Iraq, we should begin recruiting drives at all the southern baptist churches.

By sending the Christian Fundies to fight the Iraqis we can solve several problems at one time:

1. we get rid of the Christian Fundies here
2. we give the Muslims a worthy and biblical opponent
3. we get to elect a new Senate and House as Christian politicians resign to fight
4. we get special elections for president as * becomes the new Christian general fighting the heathens
5. we get an improved economy as non-Christians finally get jobs
6. there must be more ....

Think about the benefits. By sending the Fundies to the middle east, the US can return to normal because media giants like Rush will die on the vine as ratings plummet. Terrorism would definitely be contained to the Persian Gulf as waves of Christians constructively avenge their anger. America could once again become a peaceful nation as military budgets are reduced substantially since the Christians would be self financed through tithes. The list of benefits is almost infinite.

Think of it as the new crusades were only Christian Fundies can participate.

This would be a great test for the Fundies version of Christianity. It would also save a lot time for these people because they would not have to read all those left behind books waiting for the rapture. What better way to die than fighting for your faith on the devil's home turf!

Lastly, it would bring new meaning to that old hymnal standard, Onward Christian Soldiers.

6. Yes!! And they should have their own biblically mandated

Fundamentalist Christian State somewhere in the mideast. Because they have been "tortured" by those intolerant Murkins for so long.

15. Or we could be real tricky and give them Israel too.

7. Those cowards would NEVER GO.

They're much better at shutting down websites, lynching uppity Negroes (until they started fighting back, naturally) and terrorizing innocent women and children.
