For the first time in the history of Congress a Hindu was set to give the morning prayer in Congress today. Rajan Zed of Reno, Nevada, a Hindu cleric was beginning the morning prayer when he was disrupted by the activists from Operation Save America a wacky Christian right group. One activist said “Lord Jesus, forgive us father for allowing a prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight,” and “This is an abomination, we shall have no other gods before You.” The activists were promptly arrested and sent to jail. Ah, isn’t the Christian right a wonderfully tolerant group. Yes, they always follow the teaching of Jesus Christ by treating others as they would treat you. What a bunch of assholes. The level of hypocrisy from the Christian right is amazing.

After the incident Operation Save America released a fairly twisted press release. Some of that release follows:

Theology Moved to the Senate and was Arrested

Theology has moved from the church house onto the floor of the United States Senate, and has been arrested.

Ante Pavkovic, Kathy Pavkovic, and Kristen Sugar were all arrested in the chambers of the United States Senate as that chamber was violated by a false Hindu god. The Senate was opened with a Hindu prayer placing the false god of Hinduism on a level playing field with the One True God, Jesus Christ. This would never have been allowed by our Founding Fathers.

“Not one Senator had the backbone to stand as our Founding Fathers stood. They stood on the Gospel of Jesus Christ! There were three in the audience with the courage to stand and proclaim, ‘Thou shalt have no other gods before me.’ They were immediately removed from the chambers, arrested, and are in jail now. God bless those who stand for Jesus as we know that He stands for them.” Rev. Flip Benham, Director, Operation Save America/Operation Rescue

Wow! the Christian right just gets wackier and wackier. These are the people that brought George W. Bush to power and have a strangle hold on the Republican Party. Its no wonder Republicans are so messed up, with the Christian right leading the way they have become religious terrorists attacking anyone that does not believe in “their” god. I can’t wait to see what the Republican candidates for the presidency have to say about this one.
