Before I justly tear into the case of the Nekkid Christian.
A lack of understanding about our culture and government sprinkled with the ignorance of religion can lead to some pretty crack headed amalgamations. George Bush, the neo-cons and the religious right imagining September 11th 2001 as a holy war and justifying it with a crusade in Iraq for example. Sort of summed up in the revelation of Rumsfeld’s reports to Bush, furnished with pictures of our soldiers, underlined with Bible quotes. Thus undermining all the good qualities, the postive possibilties in our culture, government and freedom of religion. And in part allowing exactly what they were trying at minumum to prevent: A liberal or moderate ever taking the presidency ever again.
Take the case of christiannympho blog.
A nymph is female spirit from Greek mythology, sort of the posse to the Greek gods and goddesses. “Scary and a little unpredictable”. The content of the blog itself is rather inoffensive though I imagine it’s shocking for some hypocrites on the right. The invoking of the word “nymph” undermines everything they think they’re trying to do because of it’s so called pagan origins.
Sooo, lack of world knowledge, word origins and an abundance of stupidity would create the weird combinations calling themselves “Christian nymphos” or even “American Christian” as one and the same. There’s nothing wrong with either groups individual parts but you’d think the combining would give the weird participants some pause. To wit-
Christian breast implants.
I say again “Christian.” “Breast.” “Implants.”
No not really but sort of. I did get you to pause with the weird implications though. Probably.
According to the Huffington Post.com, contestants in the Miss U.S.A. contest were offered breast implants (not that there is anything inherently wrong with that) in their efforts for the title.
Jesus hates a 'C' cup
Will someone explain to me how she thinks she’s doing God a favor by
1) Undermining woman everywhere by sexualizing herself (complicated issue there).
2) Placing herself on display to demonstrate how stupid she is
3) Praises tradition values then undermines them by posing more or less nekkid and tempting men all over the world.
Bonus question: If a Christian fanticises about her mostly nekkid body does that count as a sin? Can she be considered a “Christian marital aid” and thus written off as somehow attributing to the sanctity of marriage? Disgusting questions I’m sure.
Hell. Sarah Palin came to her side. That should tell you something.
Thus: The Great American God Complex. Believing you are extra special because you are born in the United States of America and were either born into a Christian family or gone to a Christian church once or twice. An accident of birth and/or the power of choice. It’ll give you the ability to justifing posing nude (then complain about it) and/or kill thousands of innocent people in the the Iraq War and call it God’s will and/or free speech.
If we’re lucky Rumsfeld will do both.
P.S. If Christians do need a marital aid I have a time tested tradition American solution: Beer Goggles. How the hell do you think the Duggers have gotten as far as they have?
