"Lets hope theres a special section of hell where the spiritually dead get to parse their own utterances for sins they can accuse themselves of." Amen to that. As an American secular humanist, I am completely overdosed on the PC religious ranting of both sides. (Remember, there are only ever TWO sides to the politics and religion debates: "mine" and "those heathens".) Here in the US, it seems to be the religiously obsessed political partisan types who engage in this evil. Sadly, many are attracted to folk and country music, and all the traditions are the worse for it. They twist every damn thing to suit their narrow (fill in the blank) ideologue agendas. And worse it does get in election years, when religious posturing and pandering to the evangelical right by politicians seeking election reaches epidemic proportions. In our far from innocent Internet age, their surrogates swarm over chat forums everywhere. A pox on both their houses, say I. Send the flying feces flinging monkeys to re-decorate their red and blue little boxes, too. C'mon Toto, we're outta here!
