Youth Crusade for politics in Denver

The Generation Joshua cult is on a crusade to elect Christian candidates in Denver. 1000 are being flown in from around the country. Of course, they must follow a few rules.

While working hard to elect pro-homeschool candidates, participants have to follow an honor code, which requires pledging such things as “I will honor and obey all divinely appointed authorities,” and “I will not pursue a romantic relationship while working during the week of SAT (student action teams).”

What the hell are "divinely appointed authorities"? It must be fundie speak for the 22-year-old youth pastor. We all know youth pastors never abuse their divine authority - right?

Any bets on how many babies are conceived during SAT?

Hey - doesn't James Dobson work out of Denver? I smell a Evangelical conspiracy.

That part may be funny. Less funny is the idea of the ease with which these kids are apparently being gotten to recognize anybody as a "divinely appointed authority." That's more scary, at least once the initial laughter has worn off.

Fundie are such a good source of humor - and they never get the punch line.

Divine appointment = A seemingly chance-meeting said to have been orchestrated by God, usually with the purpose of sharing the Gospel. Mmmmm, very interesting concept.

Any bets on how many of them make it to term?

RG - are you suggesting a fundie would abort an embarrassing love child? That is had for me to believe as the concept of Ted Haggart loving man flesh.
