Inaguration Unplugged

This toon was inspired by the battle of religious ideals over who was going to do what at Barack Obama’s inauguration. Pictured are homophobic Pastor Rick Warren, who will be giving the inaugural invocation, and gay Bishop Gene Robinson, who will be giving the opening prayer at the We Are One Event, which will kick off the inauguration week activities. In my opinion, I’d rather see religion left out of the whole thing.  It makes about as much sense to me as inviting astrologers to the event (Nancy Reagan’s preferences aside). US citizens didn’t vote Obama for President for his religious beliefs, or at least I hope not. They voted for him because he’s a smart guy who has nowhere to go but up considering the US economy and other problems left behind by the previous administration.
