TAX-CUT JEEBUS STILL LIVES

Years ago during the Bush Presidency, I came across a report of Fundies claiming that Jeebus would want his followers to support Von Mises' economics and I saved it in a file with other Fundie nonsense which I have since misplaced.

Today, Raw Story informs us that Tax Cut Jeebus is still alive:

“One of the problems we have even as Christians is I’ll guarantee you most Christians cannot tell you the two parables Jesus taught about capital gains tax, nor can the tell you the four verses in the Bible that condemn the estate tax, nor can they tell you what Jesus said in Matthew 20 about minimum wage,” evangelical Christian minister David Martin, who is a former co-chair of the Texas Republican Party, explained. “We let the secular people tell us how economics is supposed to be run. God told us how to run economics.”

It's no accident that Glenda Beck was a guest on the show and had his usual dire warning:

“Most people don’t know they’re being used by evil,” Beck agreed. “And some are — some do know. But most people don’t have any idea that they are in bed with absolute evil. It’s not a Republican-Democrat thing. This is evil that is happening right now. And we have to call evil by its name.”

“I really think we are a society globally that is now worshiping Baal,” he added, referring to one of many ancient Semitic fertility gods, which Christians consider to be a demon. “We’re not doing it consciously, but we are doing it. We’re worshiping Baal.”

Here's the basic Fundie line: We have Absolute Truth, They have Absolute Evil.
