Hypocrisy is so thick in the air that you can cut it with a butter knife. The hardcore militant republicans are once again mindlessly running around like headless chicken that have been beheaded without them even knowing it. This isn’t too far from the truth actually.
Act 1
Politician - Oh my GOD, you killed a fetus! You killed a precious life! That's one of the things that would make GOD very angry! You have transgressed the laws of GOD and man. Don't give us that meaningless bullshit about how a fetus can't feel a thing. It's a living breathing human being that will soon come to be, thus your actions are akin to slaying one of your fellow man. You have no respect for life. Your cold, calculated and inhuman way of chain killing what GOD calls LIFE is very disturbing and we cannot let these acts go unpunished. We thus sentence you to death!
Abortionist - Wait, I'm confused. Are you saying that I'm being killed because I don't share your non-scientific views of god or because you say I killed someone? And for that matter, if you say that I'm being sentenced to death, what does that make you?
Politician - You don't understand! It's not worth trying to explain these things if you keep questioning obvious truths.
Abortionist - Are you sure that it's me who does not understand? Maybe I could give you a biology class and help you explain a few provable truths.
Politician - SEND THIS MAN TO DEATH ROW!
Abortionist - Question before I go there. Is the Death Row process of chain killing grown men is cold and inhuman? I mean... I'd like to adapt to your god's views so I don't get in too much trouble during my ghostly unlife. Mind if I take comparative notes? Because I'm getting really confused now.
Act 2
Catholic - You disgrace the will of GOD by forcing our children to learn about the theory of evolution! First you take out prayers from schools, now you want them to not learn about how the world was created by GOD? What's next? GOD does not exist? You can't handle the fact that there actually be a divine intervention in the creation of our world? How dare you. You're spitting in the hands of that which gave you life.
Scientist/School teacher - Since you find divine more credible than evolution, I presume that means you have no respect whatsoever for science?
Catholic - I did not say that!
Scientist/School teacher - Then what are you saying? That science goes too far when it tries to say things that you don't like to hear? Sounds weird.
Catholic - No! It's just that we are surrounded by proof that GOD created the earth. Look at all these miracles of life! It's all around for you to see, yet you chose to close your eyes!
Scientist/School teacher - No, actually I chose to try and explain it, which I've done very well. Are you sure YOU are not the one that chooses to close his eyes in front of facts? Because you cannot grasp things that are too complicated for you to understand, you choose to cope with the unknown by saying god must have had something to do with it. Just so you can have peace of mind.
Catholic - Damn you are such a hypocrite! I can't believe it, that's just insulting. It's insulting and the only thing that does is say that whoever does not believe what you believe is an idiot. Again, you go against will of GOD. Science shows not tolerance, it's cold and it's inhumane, and it denigrates the beauty in which we live in. If it there was no science we would have never had the atomic bomb. How many lives have been killed by your inventions?
Scientist/School teacher - Ok... So... Are you saying that it's bad to be aware of things? Or are you saying that our bombs are worse than your inquisitions? Because I'm pretty sure the Catholic Church killed and/or burned people at the stake (slow and inhuman process) more than most of our bombs combined, which by the way where always launched by god fearing politicians. You know, the ones that sometimes wage wars against other religions? You might have heard about them. And also, I fail to see how the crusades where all about tolerance.
Catholic - That was hundreds of years ago!
Scientist/School teacher - So you're saying that we are not waging wars that have religious undertones to them?
Catholic - You're changing the subject!
Scientist/School teacher – Right, right. Sorry. Yeah, divine intervention. Well I guess all we have to do now is decided which one of your gods was the right one. Or spirits. Have you heard about the mythos behind the creation of the world according to the American Indians? Something about a plant. And for that matter, what did god have to say about rain before you guys finally accepted that "condensation" thing? Did you burn those people at the stake too before we got the right to talk about science? Oh sorry, I don't want to get you all riled up like when you fucked up Galileo.
Catholic - You're such a hypocrite!
Scientist/School teacher - Yeah sorry, I get all fired up when people talk against my factual science, which is probably not as factual as your god, but then again that's just comparing scars. Whatever. See you at the next inquisition!
- I just wish there was a way to make people understand that maybe both science and religion could actually intermix. I don't believe in God, but if I did, I might have thought that the laws of physics and chemistry are but the canvas on which "he" painted the world. At least this way, everyone would have their cookies and no one would be really able to question each other.
Act 3
Annoying guy - Damn... I guess GOD really has it for the republicans now.
Hypocrite Republican - Now what the HELL does that mean?
Annoying guy - Well, you keep talking about GOD and retribution. About how GOD is always on the USA's side. About how science is not as big as divine intervention. You talk about the will of GOD, and even the president says he was appointed by him. But all I see lately are hurricanes fucking up the coasts, one's even going for that "appointed" president's home. I don't recall seeing so many natural disasters since Bush got into the office.
Hypocrite republican - But it's the hurricane season you dolt! Have you never heard about science? It’s always like this.
Annoying guy - Oh yes, sorry, I guess I'm not used to believe in GOD on a part time basis. But what about those landslides in California with the Governator? There's been a few chain disasters like the forest fires soon after that and so on. If we are the only part of the world that keeps getting hammered by natural disasters, now more than ever towards the homelands of those who say they act and pass laws in the name of GOD, does that mean God is pissed?
Hypocrite republican - You're just playing the annoying card. It's a fluke
Annoying guy - Actually I heard it's global warming, I think your oil drinking friends had something to do with that.
Hypocrite republican - Oh will you shut up? Now is not the time to point fingers. It's time to help our fellow men, women and children who are in deep peril!
Annoying guy - Who's putting us in peril? Maybe I don't believe in him hard enough, or just maybe I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about when I say I know what HE wants.
Hypocrite republican - Stop making us look like the fools we are not!
Annoying guy - Hey, I don't have to do one thing. HE's the one that's doing it. Too bad we have the right to think aloud now though, it just screws things up so much now that I'm about to start understanding things.
