It's all Bullshit

In response to this:

It's all bullshit—the currently fashionable "God" is no more real than the pantheon of deities were to the ancient Romans, Greeks, or Egyptians (plus countless others) and yet I'm sure those folks believed in their mythic sky fairies just as fervently as the current crop of "believers" who also need to desperately believe in something—anything—to absolve them of all personal responsibility for their lives, give it meaning, and explain away the wonderful, horrible, brilliant, and often unfathomable mysteries of the universe.

Personally, I have no problem with anyone's personal beliefs, as ridiculous and unsupportable as I may find them. HOWEVER…

Quote of the Day

"The radical religionists have confused 'freedom of religion' with the notion that means they can force everybody else to comply with their own religious tenets and rules.

The Christianists don't just want prayer in schools. They want teachers to lead the kids only in prayers to Jesus the Lord God and Savior and his angry vengeful sky-daddy.

They don't just want their Christmas crèches and Ten Commandments plaques in public spaces. They want those to be the only things allowed.

They don't just want their particular definitions of what is and is not a valid government-recognized marriage or child adoption to be codified into law. They want all other faiths' definitions—including non-religious secularism—to be outlawed.

Once again, it's projection. What they accuse others of advocating—special rights and all that twaddle—is what they themselves want. In short, to make everybody—including those who do not belong to, adhere to, or believe in their religion to have to follow their rules anyway." — Becca Morn, commenting on this post at AMERICAblog.

BRA-VO!

Hypocrisy, Thy Name is NOM


Newt Gingrich would like to remind everybody that that marriage is between one man and one woman whom you abandon riddled with cancer on her hospital bed while you fuck the shit out of your mistress whom you later marry and cheat on with a third woman while screaming with Godly moral outrage about the infidelities of the president.

And NOM's Brian Brown, one of the nation's leading "defenders of marriage," an allegedly devout Catholic for whom divorce is forbidden, is raising money to make Gingrich president. Brian Brown: "Everybody is allowed to fuck anybody they want, married or not, as long as they tell Jeebus: 'My bad!' after every adulterous encounter. But not homos. Definitely not homos. They belong to Satan."

An Observation

I'm almost starting to feel sorry all the Christianist Zombies out there trying to force their own brand of Sharia Law down the throat of the United States—not because they feel they're being "persecuted," but because of the amount of complete and utter darkness they're wandering around in. I mean, can you imagine living your life day in and day out so full of hate for everything that is different than you, so completely obsessed with trying to make the world conform to your bronze-age view that nothing else matters? Spending your life in a never-ending state of cognitive dissonance has to be what serious, unmedicated mental illness feels like.

Asshat of the Day – Randy Thomasson

From Joe.My.God.

"This is training up an immoral army of soldiers to attack real marriage, the natural family, and to rope more children into sexual darkness. 'Queer studies' teaches you can do anything sexual you want without negative consequences or moral accountability to God, and that you have no ability to choose whether or not to engage in sexual behaviors. This philosophy essentially turns man into an animal, but less than an animal, because beasts follow God's natural order of sexuality." – Save California douchebag Randy Thomasson, saying that Queer Studies courses are nothing more than "gay boot camp."

In the above-linked article, Thomasson goes on to repeat the familiar lie that all gay people were molested as children. Or hate their mothers. Or something.
