So Help Me Out Here
In this morning’s debate, Rick Santorum explained why it is that we cannot live with a nuclear Iran.
His answer: “Because they are a theocracy.”
I got kinda confused because he said that Iranian theocracy is different from other theocracies because (1) They believe the afterlife is better than this life. You know, like streets of gold and eternal life and angels singing and stuff. (2) And, they believe that martyrdom is the highest calling of God. You know, like St. Stephen and more saints at the Vatican than you can count, where they venerate martyrdom.
So, the theology in Iran is Catholic Christianity? Like Rick Santorum’s religion?
I did not know that.
