WorldNetDaily: Mass media threaten Europe – and America!

Quote: The mass media of entertainment based in Hollywood has infected the Western world with the radical, atheist political correctness that is eating away at the faith and values of entire countries like a terminal cancer.

This is a very amusing bit of nuttery…

When something like 80%+ of Americans self-identify as Christian….

But what should scare you is that I used to be one of the religious nutjobs…

...but I got better.

Phony Theory, False Conflict

Quote: Which brings us to Dover, Pa., Pat Robertson, the Kansas State Board of Education, and a fight over evolution that is so anachronistic and retrograde as to be a national embarrassment.

Rather eloquently spoken, I’d say.

I have long argued that if the Big Bang theory hold true—the concept of creating some complex bit of matter into being and have it spring into the entire universe is MUCH more dramatic, “awesome” (original sense), amazing, and wonderful than the concept of G-d picking up some dirt and shaping it…

I’d tag this “obvious”, but… I want to pretend I have an open mind…

(But seriously, I have a hard time respecting Intelligent Design, because I see it as a much lesser concept of G-d than if he caused the Big Bang or something similar… Why limit G-d?)

Capitol Hill Blue: GOP memo touts new terror attack as way to reverse party’s decline

Quote: GOP insiders who have seen the memo admit it’s a risky strategy[...]

Really?

Ya freakin’ think?

Okay, I grant you, the Democratic party, for the most part nationally, has sat on their thumbs while they could have done SO many things to provide good, solid leadership that our nation is dying for (literally, if you count our innocent soldiers being slain in Iraq).....

I’m not so much Democrat as I am Anti-Republican…

And things like this scare me. These are the people in power—who have the power to allow another 9/11 to happen.

Think Progress » O’Reilly Responds: “What I Said Isn’t Controversial. What I Said Needed to Be Said.”

Quote: They feel that we’re the problem, we’re the evildoers, that al Qaeda is created because of us. That’s the hallmark of the radical left. It’s always America’s fault.

I was almost agreeing with him until the last bit…

No, Bill, it’s not America’s fault, it’s radicals like you.

I don’t like the radical left, but when I see idiots like you, I keep getting pushed farther and farther that way. It’s easy to forget that most people in this country are mostly reasonable. But people like you keep pushing people towards the fringes—towards radicalism, which only serves to reinforce the push towards radicalism…

Bush is seeing a lot of political fallout for the crap he’s pulled while in office. Do I see a nation going against conservative values? Not so much, when his much-spouted “mandate” was barely more than half the population—you can’t just look and say “barely more than half voted for me!”—to declared a ‘mandate’ should require taking away one person who voted for you for each person who voted against. Then you can truly see how divided this nation is.

But it’s not “red states” and “blue states”—if you look at how people voted on a county level, assigning shades of red/purple/blue to match the percentage that voted for each candidate, you’d see bluish metro areas and reddish rural areas—and a lot of purple a lot of places.

But these idiots don’t feel they’re being served by looking at it reasonably- they like extremists. Extremists on their own side, of course; but extremists on the opposite side because that pushes more people to extremism on their own side.

WGAL.com – Local News – Pat Robertson Tells Dover Residents They Rejected God

Quote: “I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God, you just rejected him from your city. And don’t wonder why he hasn’t helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I’m not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that’s the case, don’t ask for his help because he might not be there.”

I recognize that’s a fringe viewpoint, don’t worry… Just that 15-20 years ago in my life, I probably would have agreed with it. It’s why I’m not Christian anymore…

Kansas education board downplays evolution – Science – MSNBC.com

Quote: “This is a sad day. We’re becoming a laughingstock of not only the nation, but of the world, and I hate that,” said board member Janet Waugh, a Kansas City Democrat.

I feel your pain.

Christian group wants to ‘redeem’ US states – Yahoo! News

Quote: Cory Burnell wants to set up a Christian nation within the United States where abortion is illegal, gay marriage is banned, schools cannot teach evolution, children can pray to Jesus in public schools and the Ten Commandments are posted publicly.

This is what keeps me up at night.

They’re fringe for now, but the day might come when we have a Christian Taliban in this country… That scares me like nothing else can…

It’s not just these fringe idiots that scare me, it’s the Religious Reich that’s already out there that scare me. And everytime Bush blathers on about Jesus, it excludes everyone who isn’t a fundie… Do you think the Muslims or the Athiests want to hear that stuff? If we did manage to have a Muslim president, would the Christians want him praying to Allah publicly like Bush does to Jesus? I think not.

The Gospel According to Anne – Newsweek Entertainment – MSNBC.com

Quote: “For the last six months,” she says, “people have been sending e-mails saying, ‘What are you doing next?’ And I’ve told them, ‘You may not want what I’m doing next’.”

Although I’m not an Anne Rice fan, I find this disturbing…

Wal-Mart goes Wicca

Quote: Oh, for the days when the closest thing to witches that could be found down at the local department store was the witch’s costume you bought for Halloween.

This is the type of religious discrimination that pagans have to put up with time after time. It makes me sick, and I’m just tired of it.

We’re not the only group that has to put up with this… In addition to being pagan, I’m also obese, and I can tell from personal experience that there’s plenty of discrimination out there for obesity as well…

sigh
