Jesus and the Dead Presidents

Sometimes Sylvester just nails the folly of the religious right. I think it may be because he was raised in a fundamentalist seventh day adventist family and saw the destructive effect of fundamentalist religion at an early age. Nevertheless, occasionally, he writes a column like this one that skewers the right wing whackos in such a subtle, beautiful way, you have to read it:

"He reflected on his father’s orders as he walked down the billowy path.

“Things are out of control down there,” his Father boomed. “Go, choose one to return and straighten things out.”

He absolutely hated going to that room. Some of the occupants were pleasant. Others were enlightened and wise. But most were just so, so … full of themselves. Even here, in this perfect place."
