Another In a Long Line of Reasons People Think Utah is Full of Crazies
May 1st, 2007Utah Co. GOP kills resolution on Satan
This is from one of the most conservative counties in the United States. The holes in the logic are astounding, but that this would even be considered says so much about the state of fundamentalism in Utah and the U.S.
Check out these comments. Yes, we live in this state. It’s kind of funny. And sad.
Thanks to all the readers for sending these in. o

My partner “alerted” me to this article. My comment here is the same as I said to her… “This proves it, the stock-pile of crack that they have been using has gone rancid… these guys are all bat-shit-nut-jobs!
I will be shaking my head over this one all day.

I was going to bring sexy back, but someone beat me to it, so I’m bringing satan back instead…..along with a whole bunch of sexy immigrants. Sexy satanic immigrants…. mmmmmmmmm taste the godlessness goodness.

Hmmm… And when I visited SLC everyone seemed so normal.

Orcinus has a good post on this as well.

Sometimes I really wish I didn’t live in Utah, the your-vote-doesn’t-matter-if-you’re-Democrat state.

When I lived in Utah, I pretty much had to leave town when the state legislature was in session.
As for the premise of the resolution, I don’t see how immigration makes the country godless. If anything it makes it more Christian. Mexico is a pretty Catholic place, and they’re the type of Catholics who actually show up to church.
Oh well. I guess I got out while the getting was good.

Sorry to double-post, but I just had a chilling thought: The Daily Show probably already has a reporter on a plane headed for Provo.

I just don’t know what to say after reading that. I’m just thankful that people like you and Heather are at least a shred of sanity there and you can see the funny-but-sad side. Yep, Chuck would certainly make a better politician than these people, and that’s just when he’s licking his empty nutsack…

I would *never* condone the lack of religious freedoms that exist in Mainland China (or anywhere else)…
But crap like this really confirms the the government’s paranoia about religion and is probably why they’ve refused to let up on the laws about who is allowed and who is recognized (the big 5 only) and who isn’t (everyone else).
It also makes me apprehensive about coming back. Sometimes I forget about all the rightist craziness over here. (Partially because there is plenty of other craziness to deal with.)

I hope that didn’t sound like I was suggesting that irrationality in Utah is the ONLY reason why the CCP has paranoia and rhetoric regarding religion. That’s clearly not true. Definitely is NOT the only reason or even the main reason.
Just a ‘confirmation’ of their rhetoric and paranoia.

Michael: Salt Lake City is waaaay more diverse than Utah County….at least it was when I was growing up in UC. SLC folk have to deal with a little diversity of opinion. In Utah County, not so much. My mother signed me up for the Young Republicans, never once asking me what I believed. The first time I admitted to voting for a Democrat, we had an argument over the dinner table.
I left because I was really tired of living in Utah, and sometimes I wish I’d stayed, just to provide some of that much needed diversity of opinion.

Ew! That article looks like something you’d find in The Onion! I can’t believe it’s real!
