Um, guys? You know how I may have mentioned a time or two that my mom is a lunatic, fringe fundamentalist? It's way, way worse than I knew. I guess I gave her too much credit in thinking her views were at least sort of based on rational thought. Apparently no. Her views are based on the culty rantings of some Roman Grant-like nutter in Texas who actually refers to himself as the Prophet. My sister just forwarded me an e-mail my mom had forwarded to her. It's terrifying. It's like the Enlightenment never happened. And he even complains that hate-filled Democrats are trying to "destroy" poor Joe the plumber. What? Who's trying to destroy Joe the plumber? Last I heard, he'd gotten an agent, landed a book deal, and was in talks with various labels regarding his forthcoming record. Anyway, here is an excerpt from the Prophet's "teaching." It's beyond strange to learn that one's own parent is keen on this level of weirdness.

> I had a vision earlier this year. I saw Barack Obama in this vision. He was speaking to a large crowd and being broadcast on television. He was speaking incredible words of unity, peace, and bringing all sides together; the words were elegant, the words were comforting, and the words were inspiring.
>
> But while he was speaking I saw all a powerful spirit of violence coming out of his spirit feeding into the spirits of those that were hearing him. That spirit of violence was directed at anybody who opposed what he was saying. Those who heard his words and received it had the spirit of violence being implanted inside of them. It was a rage like I have not seen before.
>
> It was the rage that would be unleashed against those who oppose and stand in the way of Barack Obama's agenda. We are already seeing the beginnings of this spirit manifested here in America. The vicious attacks against Sarah Palin have been unlike anything we have ever seen before. The sheer hate for this woman from people who knew nothing about her, and who claim to stand up and protect the little people, and women, has been shocking.
>
> We now see it with Joe the plumber. These people who are under the influence of this demon spirit of rage desire to completely destroy this man because he dared to question Barack Obama. In fact it wasn't just the question; it was because Barack Obama revealed his true agenda that Joe the plumber became a threat. So the supporters of Barack Obama who had been fed and affected by the spirit of violence went into full swing to destroy a fellow citizen; the very kind of person that Barack Obama has been speaking about in his eloquent speeches, saying how he is the only candidate fighting for them.
>
> I want to put this deep in your spirit. I am speaking as a prophet. The words I'm about to tell you are 'thus saith the Lord'. If Barack Obama is elected, the attacks against free speech, against those who believe differently than he does, and the systematic use of the government and laws to silence the voice of fundamental Christians will be unlike anything ever seen in this nation before.
