I, too have had two or three coworkers telling me the same thing. They cite the obscure Turkish newspaper that has an article about folks slaughtering sheep in celebration of Obama's win, and they also cite a news article with the headline, "Obama, president of the world?" that oddly enough appeared on faux news.

These are folks with college degrees! You'd think they'd be a little less gullible.

That's what's so scary about religion! Intelligent, educated, otherwise reasonable people fall down some sort of weird rabbit hole when logic collides with theology.

I have a cousin-in-law, a registered nurse, very knowledgable about many things, who gets all emotional whenever the subject of cremation comes up. "But the Bobble says the Lord will raise us up in our bodies -- how can he raise me up in my body if it's all burned and scattered all over?"

Another interesting thing I've noticed about uber-religios is how often they reduce God to a helpless role. In the example above, she sees God being incapable of reconstructing someone he allegedly created from ashes and dust. I've heard other people defend curtailment of civil liberties (such as gay marriage), saying "It will hurt God." But -- but -- if you can "hurt God," why, that's like Kryptonite to Superman. This all-powerful invulnerable Supreme Being can be hurt? If I were putting all my trust in such an easily hurt Being, I'd think twice.

Glad I already did.

If Obama is the anti-Christ, it will be the first evidence of super-natural forces that Christians have provided yet. I eagerly await their assessment.

The worst thing Republicans can possibly do is to bring up biblical mumbo jumbo about an evil fictional character and try to link it to Obama.

Obama has a messiah complex and that is legitimate to criticize, but this anti Christ crap is a sure ticket to defeat.

Even if we have a record turnout of African American voters in 2008, I think Mississippi is still going to go for McSame. I blame religion primarily, but poor public education deserves consideration as well.

You're right. It doesn't look good for Mississippi.

Here's something that's not quite as good, but close:
