“Our Chavez who art in heaven, the earth, the sea and we delegates,”, “hallowed be your name”
Members of Venezuela's Socialist Party have rolled out a variation of the classic Christian “Lord's Prayer” to implore beloved late leader Hugo Chavez for protection from the evils of capitalism.
“Our Chavez who art in heaven, the earth, the sea and we delegates,” red-shirted delegate Maria Estrella Uribe recited at the PSUV party Congress. Read full article

I have provided two links of over a year apart to show that this is a growing phenomenom.
Will the day come if when you can only get flour and soap if you are carrying 'the mark' of a true believer, the mark of the beast?
Interestingly this 'fashion' is not so popular amongst the ruling elites and rich and powerful Boli-garchs. Yet they positively encourage it amongst the 'lower orders'.
Does anyone remember when the Minister for Education accidently let slip that they didn't want 'too much education' for the workers children in case they grew up and went to university and joined the middle-class protestors?
Now they are convincing them to be branded like cattle.
Sick, sick stuff.
Soon thousands of refugees will be swarming into Colombia...
Harri, Harri Chavez. Chavez, Harri Harri.

I guess we have the same here with La campora.

Thy kingdom wasn't fun
Sore was my bum
On earth as it will be in heaven
Give us this day our daily bog roll
And give us our bribes
For thine was like hell
For ever and ever
Amen
Just how backwards are some countries nowadays.

Sep 03rd, 2014 - 11:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0I can just imagine how pleased the Christians are to have this alternative available around the world and I wonder how the Popsicle will react to this: 5 million hail Chavez's for taking the Lord's name in vain I would imagine.
All crap though: there is no god and therefore no hell either, which if there was would surely be where Chubby would be.

Sep 03rd, 2014 - 04:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My sincere apology. It was not meant to offend, but instead point out the cult status her party places upon her.
Where's the pope? Is this not blasphemy? Chavez hasn't been made a saint. The closest he's got is that Chavez might be a shit. The papacy must come out and forbid this or excommunicate those who indulge. Of course, from the point of view of the world, he was a shit. How do the people of Venezuela feel? Having watched their country being wrecked by an egoist?

Any scandal?
Back to the topic.
Although I am in London now, my family/people are telling me of deep schisms in society.
This is not going to end well. For anyone.
My Advice. If you can get out now. Do It!!
Thankfully, if you have the CEDULA, (ID Card), you can enter Colombia. No passport needed.

There was never a more appropriate case for iconoclasty.
Unsurprisingly the Archbishop of Caracas is more than a little cross about this.

Some fanatics have been calling for sainthood since before his death!
In the street markets it is quite normal to paintings of Chavez and Jesus Christ together in the same picture. Representations of Chavez as a christ like figure etc. Books and pamphlet s promoting the concept that Chavez was a 'twin' of christ are available. That his failed coup and imprisonment then election are equivalents to crucifixion and resurrection. In Caracas, high up on the side of tower blocks giant images of his likeness stare down over the population. In other places giant graphics of his eyes and eye brows are painted subtitled with Chavez: Always watching.
The ruling party hands out smaller stencils of these so one can spray paint them onto your own walls. Some even do this on internal walls. ..
If this is disturbing enough, don't forget the compulsory two hours per week for ALL school children of the Principles of the Bolivarian Revolution. During these classes the deification of, and prayers to, Chavez are encouraged.
I could tell you more but I am starting to feel queasy again. ..
Thankfully not all school teachers are chavista fanatics and many do these classes, in a deliberate monotone, or even slightly sarcastically if they are sure that the parents of the pupils hate Maduro as much as they do.
