Christian Seniors don't care much for Pete Stark
According to a press release from the Christian Seniors Assocation regarding Unitarian Universalist Rep. Pete Stark,... "It is sad but not surprising that the current Congress has produced this historic first – one of its members has denied God," said CSA Executive Director James Lafferty. "The liberals in Congress want to throttle any school child who bows his or her head in prayer, but they want to establish a right for liberals to bash Christians and berate God around the clock." ...Yikes! I woulda thought that a little compassion, understanding, and tolerance, not to mention wisdom, comes with age. Guess not always.

My guess is Congressmen Stark sees himself as supreme being.
I suppose he wouldn't be the only Representative or Senator to feel that way.
If only Stark could express solidarity for Muslim Secularists, or sympathy for Maryam Namaize's words on the racism of low expectations when she was named Secularist of the Year in 2005.
...she [Namize] declared that the problem with cultural relativism was that it endorsed the racism of low expectations.
'It promotes tolerance and respect for so-called minority opinions and beliefs, rather than respect for human beings. Human beings are worthy of the highest respect, but not all opinions and beliefs are worthy of respect and tolerance. There are some who believe in fascism, white supremacy, the inferiority of women. Must they be respected?'
I'm suspect Stark's secularism not universal enough to reach Iranians like Namaize. It works only in his own narrow world.
This kind of statement makes me want to throttle a Christian child! But I can't take time out of my busy schedule of berating God around the clock.

Damn that Pete Stark. Now he is not expressing solidarity with this group or sympathy for that other group....but it is probably because as Jeff Wilson indicated above...he is too damn busy berating god around the clock...but if he is the supreme being, is he indulging in too much self-abuse; I know the priests in my high school warned against that (this last bit is really not sarcastic...I remember a moral education class where we were warned about the perils of self-abuse).
Wow. I just so badly want someone to use "berating God around the clock" as a tag-line for something.
Can we suggest it? But *where?*
