Smite

Smite - v. tr. - Giving an interview on CNN telling a Biblical story in which a man prays God will add fifteen years to his life and explaining how you have been reciting the same prayer in hopes to add twenty years to your life so you can continue to spread God's message, dying the following week.

I would feel bad about the passing of Rev. Jerry Falwell, but the guy pretty much made a career out of citing religion to excuse his being a dick. I have no problem with wanting to spread morality, but I think Falwell may have been going about it the wrong way. Examples:

"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For The American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped [September 11] happen.'"

"I do question the sincerity of people like the Reverend Martin Luther King..."

"Labor unions should study and read the Bible instead of asking for more money. When people get right with God, they are better workers."

That whole supporting Apartheid thing.

This is the part where I make broad sweeping conclusions about life and religion that are wholly unfounded and sure to piss some people off. Here we go. (1) Richard Dawkins will watch his book sales skyrocket as this incident makes people believe there is no God. (2) God doesn't like it when people use him as excuse for bigotry. Thanks to Rufus in Dogma for inspiring this thought. (3) God doesn't hate "alternative lifestyles." (4) Don't ask God to extend your life so you can continue to do things that piss Him off.
