Christian charity knows bounds
Yes, ladies and gents, it's time for the latest installment of AFA-mail! Yes, it's true, the American Family Association squatted over my e-mailbox today and took a crap the size of Texas.
It starts out innocently enough, soliciting churches to house people displaced by the hurricane and federal negligence in the Gulf region. So far so good. After that, it turns kinda ugly.
"We in turn will contact a family needing shelter and have them get in contact with you directly. You can interview them to see if their needs and your facilities are compatible and to secure references such as their previous local church and pastor."
Excuse me, but WTF?
Yes, it's all very subtle. It's just a 'reference check'. "We suggest that you screen the family carefully. While 99% of these people will be very appreciative, there is always that 1% who can create problems."
In other words, pick the white fundamentalist Christian families first, then the black fundamentalist Christian families, then if you must, the Christian families of more mainstream denominations. But you can safely weed out anyone who doesn't go to church regularly, for whatever reason. They can feel free to die wherever they fall.
Remember, it's just a reference check, to weed out that "1% who can create problems."
