Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian, reads aloud some of the thoughtful and inspiring emails and letters sent to my friend Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. It’s predictably hilarious.
Listening to the Christian right, one would think that prior to 1962 America was heaven on earth, a utopia brought about because we forced school children to pray in schools, even to gods they don’t believe in. Robert Jeffress says that’s why Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted so many women.
In the wake of the horrifying terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday, there’s a lot of finger pointing going on. It’s because of the refugees, or Obama, or France’s gun control laws, or whatever ax someone wishes to grind. But there are some who know who the real culprit it: Mikey Weinstein. So says some dumbass who emailed him, telling him that taking Jesus out of the military allows ISIS free reign.
I often publish emails that are sent to Mikey Weinstein by various cranks, kooks and haters, always of the Christian variety and nearly always incredibly anti-Semitic too. But he got one on Friday and forwarded it to me that takes a whole new approach. They’re offering him a million dollars (!) to either shut down the Military Religious Freedom Foundation or undergo a 3-month Christian training program to cure him of his evil ways. I’m not even joking.
Our old friend Jonathan Dowty, aka the Christian Fighter Pilot, has a blog post entitled “Mikey Weinstein’s Lawyer Botches Complaint.” In it, he very smugly criticizes Robert Eye, an attorney working with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, for allegedly having cited the wrong part of the Constitution. As I will show, it is Dowty who has botched things and given us a perfect demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
The U.S. Air Force Academy finds itself caught up in a scandal over athletes drinking, doing drugs and possibly committing rape, and Bryan Fischer knows exactly who is to blame: Mikey Weinstein. Why? Because he callously ripped Jesus from the school and robbed those poor kids of all their moral virtue.
Mikey Weinstein has done it again. Not only does he spend his time eating Christian babies, he hates Jesus and Santa Claus as well and is destroying Christmas by demanding that the military comply with their own regulations and put a nativity scene in the base chapel.
Or so says the latest bit of hate email he received. This one is even crazier than the usual ones. Apparently, he looks like the devil (they know what the devil looks like?) and he and everyone he knows and is related to deserves to suffer. Enjoy:
