The Christian Post reports that a bunch of believers are trying to meddle in politics again.
Fulfilling a promise they made during the government shutdown, members of the anti-poverty coalition “Circle of Protection,” are delivering 535 “Poverty and Justice” Bibles into the hands of senators and representatives this week.
Over the course of the 16-day-long government shutdown last month, members of the 65 denominations and relief and development agencies composing the coalition, publicly read the nearly 2,100 Bible verses pertaining to poverty and justice and vowed to reinforce the Scripture’s messages to their Congressmen and women.
Goddamn liberal Christians and their goddamn liberal Bible, always trying to shove that socialist “care for widows, orphans and the poor” religion down everyone’s throat, eh? It’s just not American. And I don’t care how many thousands of Bible verses preach it. It’s downright humanism. Haven’t they heard that whoever has the gold makes the rules?
The nerve of some people. Have they no respect for their betters?
“Circle of Protection?” Isn’t that a Wiccan concept?
Among other things, yes — but Wicca merely adopted the hoary concept of a magic circle, and they generally call it a ‘sacred circle’ because their purported magic is religious rather than secular.
(One of those other things is that it’s the name for an advocacy group composed of Christians)
