On Sunday, July 17, Adam Hasner (@adamhasner), in his infinite wisdom, decided to post this tweet: ‘Wonder if the Dalai Lama told Pres Obama he would receive total consciousness? #caddyshack #gungalagunga‘

Isn’t that awesome? Making fun of someone’s religious beliefs is super cool!

Adam, let’s talk for a minute, just you and I. Hundreds of millions of people around the globe are members of a religion called Buddhism. And you know how Christians can be Southern Baptist or Lutheran or a bunch of other things and how Jews can Conservative or some are Reformed?

Well, Adam, the Dalai Lama is a holy figure for people known as Mahayana Buddhists. Additionally, most people show him respect, just like they do the Archbishop of Canterbury – even when they’re not Anglican!

Crazy, I know.

My point is, by making that bigoted, ignorant comment (making fun or the United States President for – gasp – meeting with a respected religious leader), you were being an a–hole.

Hey, Adam – I got an idea for you. I’m Catholic, so maybe you want to post some tweets making fun of the Pope!

That’s it! The next time President Obama meets with his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI you can say something like

Obama met with that stupid Pope guy. I wonder if the Pope ‘confessed’ him. #popeistheantichrist #catholicsgotohell

Once again. A–hole.
