What about Fraulein Fritzl in Austria? Whose father kept her in a dungeon where she didn’t see daylight for 24 years… and came down most nights to rape and sodomize her, often in front of the children who were the product of the previous attacks and offenses….imagine how she must have begged. Imagine how she must have pleaded. Imagine for how long. Imagine how she must have prayed every day, how she must have beseeched heaven. Imagine for 24 hours and no answer at all, nothing. Nothing! Imagine how those children must have felt. Now you say it’s all right that she went through that because she’ll get a better deal in another life? I have to ask you if you can be morally or ethically serious and postulate such a question. No, that had to happen and Heaven did watch it with indifference because it knows that score will later on be settled, so it’s well worth her going through it, she’ll have a better time next time. I don’t see how you can look anyone—ANYONE—in the face or live with yourself and say anything so hideously, wickedly immoral as that, or even imply it.

Fox and Friends’ Gretchen Carlson claimed “some people” said Obama’s words were “disingenuous” because they came “from a president who does not go to church on a regular basis.” Who exactly was saying that? We never find out, but “some people” can’t be wrong, right?

Just how ridiculous was this situation? Thrice-married adulterer Newt Gingrich was forced into the position of lecturing his Fox & Friends hosts on how to be a good Christian, telling them that they had to be “generous” to anyone “prepared to publicly recognize God.”

What’s hilarious about it is, there’s Brit Hume on Fox News suggesting that people, adulterous straight men, should be Christians not because Jesus is the way and the light. Not because Jesus is the son of God. Not because Christianity is the one true religion. But because it offers the best deal. It gives you the get out of adultery free card that other religions just can’t.
