Which one of these is peddling crap?


For the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, these people are getting weirder with each passing day. Max Blumenthal crashes the Christians United for Israel conference and leads it off with disgraced former US congressman Tom Delay hoping for the second coming of Christ. Further on, the leader of this Christian organization calls for an immediate US strike on Iran.

Salvage points out that in Canada the same type of nutball doesn't get to lead the wingnut party of Canada. (But he gets to be the Public Safety Minister).

In other Christian events:
The mail-order minister of a Hollywood church that burns marijuana during services and allegedly sells it to members says that's protected under federal law because the drug is a religious sacrament. But Judge Mary Strobel has ruled that the Reverend Craig X. Rubin can't use federal law as a defense because he faces only state charges. Rubin, who's representing himself at his drug trial, says members of his Temple 420 believe that marijuana is the tree of life mentioned in the Bible. Though ordained in 1990 by the Universal Life Church, police and prosecutors describe Rubin as a drug dealer. He faces up to seven years in prison if convicted of possessing marijuana for sale. The 41-year-old Rubin has no legal experience, and says he spent last weekend praying and smoking marijuana with Indians in a sweat lodge at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
I have a lot to say about this, but I need to deal with a plantar wart.
