Dear God,
The Republicans are at it again. In addition to blaming their bigotry on You,
now they’re saying You’re the one causing women to get raped. "I think
even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something
that God intended to happen," according to Indiana Republican Senate
candidate Richard
Mourdock. I really find that hard to believe. I realize that Your
Bible isn’t precisely clear on rape like in Deuteronomy where if a woman was
raped in the city both the raper and rapee were stoned to death but if it
happened in the country they just wasted the guy. Another prominent Republican,
Paul Ryan said his position is that “the method of conception doesn’t change
the definition of life.” You see he
wouldn’t allow a women to get an abortion even in the case of rape or incest
(which I know you are against, Leviticus 18:6). So, according to Mourdock, if a woman gets raped You
wanted it to happen and then, according to Ryan You are adamantly against
abortion no matter how conception took place.
Oh I forgot to mention Missouri Senate candidate Republican Rep. Todd
Akin who said women subjected to "legitimate rape" (presumably
sanctioned by You) get pregnant only because their anti-rape conception system
failed. Kind of like getting pregnant by
rape is their fault. It seems the Republicans’ attitude towards women in just
about everything is, oh just screw ‘em. Excuse the pun. I do hope You get through this
Presidential Election with Your reputation intact.
Your friend,
Bill
