Todd Akin, Moran

You read it right, moran.  That is how some in the Tea Party spell "moron".  There is a famous picture of a Tea Partier at a rally with this sign.  Akin is the Republican "Tea Party" candidate for Senator in Missouri running against Claire McCaskill.



Todd Akin is the moran who claimed that "legitimate rape" doesn't cause pregnancy.  It bothers me that Akin is running for a Senate seat and says something completely stupid, but Akin is a self proclaimed "Christian" and he is a "public face" for Christianity (I would suggest that Akin is not a Christian in any way--but a modern day Pharisee and would fit most of the criteria that God finds as an abomination in Proverbs 6:16-19).    Akin has no science to back up his claim, he doesn't even have anti-science like Senator Judas Jim Inhofe from Oklahoma has when he derails climate change initiatives for money.  Link to Akin dumb statement here--

But, Akin is doubling down and not apologizing.  I don't care if he quits the Senate race, to me it is more important that this moran is a public face of Christianity.  Obviously, the devil chooses well when he wants to show Christianity in a negative light.  Akin is giving Satan his money's worth.  There are calls for Akin to step down from members of his own party--the Republicans.  But, the problem with that is the Tea Party is a Nazi like cult within the Republican Party who have been getting their way for the last two years.  I don't see Akin stepping down soon.  And he would only be stepping down because the Republicans would potentially lose that Senate seat, for politics, not morality.

However, there are those who are championing Akin.  You know who they are?  Yes, some other groups who claim they are "Christians".  I kid you not.  "Right to Life" groups in Missouri and the hate group known as the Family Research Council support Akin.  Link here--

And "Christians" wonder why many people don't want to became Christians or that Christianity is slowly dying out in America.  It's because these Pharisees, lunatics and con artists are the face of Christianity.  And since they deliver millions of votes to the Republican Party, no one is stepping out and rebuking them on a major scale.  If you wonder why people are losing faith in Christianity, it is because of the Todd Akin's of the world.
