Mirror Ignored

I read this, in complete and utter disbelief.

Plans by a Christian group to send an evangelical video game to U.S. troops in Iraq were abruptly halted yesterday by the Department of Defense after ABC News inquired about the program.
Operation Start Up (OSU) Tour, an evangelical entertainment troupe that actively proselytizes among soldiers, will not be sending the "apocryphal" video game in care packages as planned, according to the department.


Let's forget that "separation of church and state" thing for a minute and think about this. The premise of this game is to "convert" or kill.

"It's a horrible game," said the Rev. Timothy Simpson of the Christians Alliance for Progress. "You either kill or covert the other side. This is exactly what the Osama bin Ladens of the world have portrayed us."

Poor Rev Tim, like he and all of the rest of the religions right, they feed upon the lies of a corrupt administration. Hopefully, I am not the only one who sees the irony of the poor mans statement.

Sadly, this is what they think. This is the mentality of the bushites. They see fear and hatred for anything that just might be different without ever seeing themselves. What must these self important people think of Bush bringing "democracy to the Middle East"? That's good right?

What about "Thou shalt not kill.."? Did the religious right leaders feel the need to add "unless the son-of-a-bitch is different than you?" Or what about "judge not"? was the final phrase added to that too?

What about U.S. soldiers that are atheists? Muslim? Jewish? Must our lovely government ignore their religious, or non beliefs as well? Is there truly no end to this hypocrisy?
