Have you been "adopted" by the Liberty Counsel's "Adopt a Liberal" program yet?
The Liberty Counsel, the Christianist outfit behind any lawsuit for Jeebus, has launched an "Adopt A Liberal" campaign, asking for prayers for people they judge to be working for Satan.

"Since the landmark 2008 general election, there can be no doubt that a very large percentage of our Nation's leaders have a liberal mindset. The undeniable fact is that the 111th Pelosi-Reid Congress and the Obama Administration demonstrate a far left political philosophy. And since the President nominates federal judges and Justices of the United States Supreme Court, the judicial branch of government could take on a decidedly more liberal bent as the Obama Administration wears on. Liberty Counsel has therefore named this special new prayer-in-action program Adopt a Liberal. And that's exactly what we invite you to do -- adopt a liberal who is in authority for regular, intense prayer in accord with St. Paul's admonition to his disciple, Timothy. In fact, we expect that many of our friends and supporters will choose to adopt many liberals as subjects of regular prayer!

Pick one or more of the liberals from the list we have posted online at www.LC.org, or choose your own liberal(s) to adopt. If you are led to choose one or more of the liberals we have selected for consideration, please read their brief biographical statement, including the reasons they stand in need of prayer. Pray earnestly and intensely for them! Pray that the Lord would move upon them and cause them to be the kind of leaders who will encourage others to lead "a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." We encourage you to seek the Lord's guidance on how to pray for your liberal(s), always allowing Him to temper your prayer with His love and mercy."

I was a godless pro-sodomite, pro-poor people liberal once...

Then the people at Liberty Counsel prayed for me, and I saw the light and became a pro-war, pro-corporation, pro-insurance company conservative who thinks the poor should just pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and that everyone who disagrees with me is a godless atheist who wants to punch baby Jesus in the face!

Thanks, Liberty Counsel!

Have you converted to the side of Liberty Counsel yet, or would you rather remain a "Waah, I actually think that people should be on an equal footing with insurance companies and I am a socialist too" liberal?

1. Will I qualify?
Everything I cook tastes like it came straight from Satan's asshole.

3. What About The Other Christians?
What if somebody actually believed in orthodox, Calvinist theology, but disagreed with the Religous Right's view of government and the world?

I think that Liberty Counsel represents the political institution of the Religious right and nothing to do with the spiritual Christianity. I think such groups corrupt the gospel and I resent such institution,

I am agnostic (thank god), but I ever went to back to the church, I might share the same spiritual beliefs of the religious right, but want nothing to do with their cultural and political institutions.

4. I don't think I qualify
They say they want to "adopt a liberal who is in authority"

I doubt if being on the local waterboard really qualifies as "in authority". Neither does county treasurer for the local democratic party. Otherwise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFP8dtCWYAw


What? Did you think I don't count as "a liberal"?

6. Do I get an allowance?
If I don't get a weekly allowance, I don't wanna be adopted.

Mine is pink and had these in it:

Also, if you go through with with the full dunking baptism, you get a Sarah Palin-signed X-box!

13. Well, forget about it then -
no allowance and a totally lame stuff bag. At least at Satan's Home for Unrepentant Sinners and Homeless Waifs I get waffles.

7. You know if we could get these jerks to spend all their time praying.
Best of all, if we could get them in their churches quietly praying,
then they wouldn't be bothering us getting done what needs to be done,
and of course prayer doesn't work anyway so I say "let them adopt as
many liberals as they care to for praying purposes". Just keep them
out of our hair.

8. Crap! I'm not on the list...
That's OK. They'll be praying for the "Unknown Liberal," and I'll be thinking for the "Unknown Fundie."

9. Have you read the comments? Funny stuff, most of them!
"I'd prefer if they'd just fucking send me money."


"I woke up this morning and I thought I was filled with intense love and appreciation for our planet and existence. I thought their prayers had worked!

But then I realized... I'm not a douchebag."


"I'd call them 'halfwits' but that would be giving them too much credit in the brain-pan department."


:spray:
