Laughable

In moments of great stress laughing at the ridiculousness of the combination of ludicrous events is the only way to relieve the tension that is inherent within the system. Once this is achieved one can then move forward gaining insight to the mistakes that were made, the corrective action that should be taken, and the doors that one should avoid entering through.
In the case of religious fanatics, more specifically fundamentalists of the Christian right, laughter is again, all one can do to display the preposterous nature of their ideas. One would think with all of the study and time put into the practice of most religions that there would be a great understanding and respect for others and their differences. The misinterpretation of these principles and the narrow-minded view they encourage among their congregation is ripped out of the context of text they are found within. In other words, sin, which unlike the modern connotation at its base has meant to miss the point. Counter to what they purport their actions and restrictions show an imposition on others, judgment, and a great disrespect for life, land, animals and its peoples. For example, the respect for life is for all ages and forms, yet there is war where our citizens get armed and travel miles from home to murder and be murdered, the killing of existing life for cells that have not yet become life, for sexual, gender and species classifications as inferiors, the list goes on and on and it is just so very sad. So I laugh in understanding that they have no real power, but what ever I deem to them, so I do not deem them any.
There is great need for them to repent, which meant a change of direction, and understand they need to stop attempts to control factors that they have no business lording over. That if they will settle into themselves it is here where everything will work itself out. In their terms, put it in gods hands, it is gods work and not your own, that is the only job they have been deemed. If you feel you are right, lead by example and others will follow.
