Christine O'Donnell almost became a Hare Krishna but she liked balls too much. (Or something like that.)
Okay now this may be the first thing I have heard about Christina O'Donnell that has NOT made me think that she is a complete idiot.
In my opinion it is a sign of intellectual curiosity that she studied other religious beliefs and I applaud the fact that O'Donnell did not simply join the same religion as that of her family, or the one that was closest to her house (As so many others seem to do.)
How she went from questioning EVERYTHING to deciding that evolution is a myth, and that masturbation is a sin, is beyond me, but at least she started out trying to use her brain.
I am guessing that after awhile it just became too much work so she turned off the analytical part of her brain and just let blind faith take control of her opinions instead. And if she hadn't she NEVER would have earned Sarah Palin's endorsement!

Gryphen, I applaud your ability to look for the positive but I think her "exploring religion" is all part of the act. She's been trying to be something she is not for a very long time. I doubt she is sincere in anything that comes out of her mouth. She seems to want to be all things to all people thus solidifying her popularity with the "she's just like me" crowd. There is no substance there...not an ounce.
ReplyDeleteShe is a clown.
Exactly. O'Donnell has always been a fame hound and my guess is in high school she tried to make herself stand out, be "different" by pretending for a couple of weeks to be Buddhist, be "a witch" probably did Goth, whatever. Problem is at 40 something she's still trying on roles - now she thinks Senator might be nice for a week or two.
ReplyDeleteBut there have always been dingbats. The problem/scary thing is that more than her parents and close coven of friends (sorry Wiccans)want her to succeed. Who put the stupid in the Delaware water?
What surprised me is that she said she was Italian. I guess that's on her mother's side, and they'd rather her be more well known as an "O'Donnell" since the teabaggers would go for that. (Like "Heath").
ReplyDeleteAnyway, she must really be confused because most Italians and Irish in America are Catholic, and we (Italians, anyway) just go through the catholic schools, etc. with a grain of salt and not take it too literally. As a result, most Catholics are safe from the "born again" evangelical experience.
Those that want to be born again and get sucked into the closed-minded evangelical groups imo are those who have troubled, confused and lonely or abused pasts. It's a way to get help. I mean, look at Glenn Beck, he's using republican Christianity as some kind of 12 step program. And Sarah? Seems very troubled to me.
So all that "exploring" that you talk about, Gryphen, I think was just a troubled wandering by Christine, until she finally found a home with the GOP/teabagger set. I mean, how different is it from joining a cult or a gang? Not very different. Not much thinking or individuality allowed, there. But it's fine for them because it's comforting, and it's lately been a lucrative career path for many of them, as well.
Maybe if her parents had masturbated more we'd have been spared all this.
ReplyDeleteHow she went from questioning EVERYTHING to deciding that evolution is a myth, and that masturbation is a sin, is due to her complete lack of moral depth and brainpower. She took the path of least resistance. I agree that she is a fame whore and always has been. Whatever it takes to get attention.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny that the goofy right thinks that having no current or former husband makes Elena Kagan gay but having no current or former husband and being obsessed with sexual practices makes Christine O'Donnell holy?
I think her "dabbling" was either in the form of a little girl playing house, or a blatant lie (we know she lies!) intended to show she has made a thinking choice.
ReplyDeleteSeriously: she had a "picnic" on a satanic altar (her witchcraft claims have infuriated the wiccans, who are not Satanists); she would have become a Hare Krishna but she couldn't give up meat (what kind of nut even considers becoming a Hare Krishna?) How did she "dabble" in Buddhism, one wonders? Apart from which, as someone with a strong attraction to Buddhism, I resent the equation of this ancient, respectable spiritual path with picnics on Satanic altars and Hare Krishnas.
She is a meatball!

The same goes for the Heaths, if you ask me.
