Bryan Fischer, the public face of the homophobic American Family Association, is the embodiment of religious right misanthropy. He is racist and anti-science. He said prayers for the school shooting were not answered because the praying persons’ hands were “full of blood” (the victims I guess?). But as you thought Fischer couldn’t get any worse, we got this:
Hogwash, of course.
Of course, FEMA just today said that the flood insurance program is about to run out of funds and officials from Sandy-affected states roundly criticized the House Republican leadership for refusing to put the urgent care package up to a vote.
So let me get this straight. We CAN afford to renew tax cuts on individuals earning $400k a year. But we can’t afford to help those made homeless in the dead of the winter by a hurricane? But, of course, Fischer would call raising taxes on the wealthy to help hurricane victims “demonic”, as that is a violation of the 10 commandments.
Next time someone tells you how much of a better person religion makes you, it is worth pointing out that in some (very prominent) cases it can also make you a revolting asshole.
