Jebus but I despise these people

Most Christians are merely misguided and lazy thinkers; I don’t have any particular animus against them, and just wish they’d grow up. However, there’s one kind of Christian that makes me furious and fills me with an angry contempt. I have been known to make the most militant atheist response in my repertoire when I encounter them: I might snarl briefly and leave them to rot in their hateful ignorance.

These are the people for whom I reserve the term “demented fuckwits”. They are the apocalypse-mongers, the cheerleaders for Armageddon, the monsters who take great satisfaction in their patently stupid belief that the world is going to end soon in a Jebus-spooge of Biblical volume. They aren’t just the cretins who fearfully foretell a coming tribulation, but the ones who think it will be a wonderful thing for chaos to erupt and sinners to die horribly so that they, as they believe, will get to sit in a celestial choir singing to drown out the screams of the suffering in Hell, and on their breaks will have the privilege of looking down and chuckling at their well-deserved torment. Anyone who crows about a “laaake of FIIRRRRRRRE” and loves the Jesus of death and damnation is a psychopathic creep in my book, and I want nothing to do with them.

So why do my cruel, cruel readers send me pictures like this? They know I have to watch my blood pressure!

They call it “Family Radio”. It’s some obsessed fundamentalist lunatics taking joy in their predicted annihilation of everyone else. Yes, they predict the world will end on 21 May 2011. I hope they divest themselves of worldly goods and find themselves broke and shivering and homeless on 22 May; I hope the authorities take their poor deprived abused children away from them and give them a decent life, free of the poisonous religion of their parents.

At the very least, I hope an auto body shop is looking forward to charging them for the van repainting job that will have to be done on the 22nd.

I almost wish that Harold Camping’s hell were real, so he could rot in it.

By the way, that van? It was parked in a VA Hospital lot, outside a clinic that specializes in patients with mental illness. That’s all they need, these vile parasites to prey on their wounded minds.

Now that’s a faitheist!

David Penberthy is, presumably, an atheist…but a terribly angry, ranty, sanctimonious one. He has written an amazing article damning his nemeses—other atheists.

My faith in atheism is being tested by born-agains. Not of the Christian variety, but the obnoxious, pushy, ram-it-down-your-throat, born-again atheist variety.

This new breed of Godless souls has adopted one of the most irritating features of religion. They have become belligerent evangelists for their non-cause.

The rest of the article rages on, and you might be wondering what horrible crimes these atheists have committed, and who they are. Have they been issuing fatwas, condemning people to death for mocking them? Have they been decreeing that believers are not good citizens, and should have their right to vote revoked? Have they decided that theists are hollow, immoral people and parasites on civilization?

Well, no. He’s angry at Bobby Henderson for inventing the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He dares to mock religion!

He’s furious with that big bully Richard Dawkins, because he dared to interrupt Christians on a televised debate.

He’s really pissed off at Alex Stewart, who burned a few pages of a Bible and a Koran. His own books, not that he invaded a church or mosque and set things on fire, but simply because he was offensive.

And then he tops it all off by whining about how these aggressive atheists make him want to crawl back into the closet. It is the most pathetic, pitiful, wimpy spectacle of a weepy little inactivist, someone who is so put off by humor, assertiveness, and any expression of disrespect for damfool ideas that he wants to run away and cry.

Please do, David. Hide in a closet, snuggle with your blanky, and suck your thumb all you want — you won’t be missed. And we won’t mind at all.

Hey, gang! Let’s put on a show!

I’m going to be participating in an internet show this weekend to raise money for charity — Doctors without Borders. It’s going to be going on on BlogTV Saturday and Sunday (I’ll only be on for an hour early Sunday morning), with a lot of interesting people like James Randi and Matt Dillahunty in an interactive format — ask us questions, and maybe we’ll answer.

Here’s all the information you need. It isn’t required, but remember…the purpose is to encourage donations to an excellent charity.

Molly Norris in hiding

The cartoonist who created the idea of a “Draw Mohammed Day” (and then retracted it after receiving many death threats) has had to drop out of sight because of continued threats to her life.

The gifted artist is alive and well, thankfully. But on the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI, she is, as they put it, “going ghost”: moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity. She will no longer be publishing cartoons in our paper or in City Arts magazine, where she has been a regular contributor. She is, in effect, being put into a witness-protection program–except, as she notes, without the government picking up the tab. It’s all because of the appalling fatwa issued against her this summer, following her infamous “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” cartoon.

Come on, Islam. Targeting defenseless cartoonists is your latest adventure in bravery? That’s pathetic. It’s bad enough to be the religion of hate, but to be the religion of cowardice ought to leave you feeling ashamed.

The Pope has landed, immediately recites anti-atheist canard

Well, what can we say? I thought Catholics were supposed to be scholarly, but Pope Ratzi babbled out a lot of ahistorical nonsense in his first speech on his UK tour.

Even in our own lifetime, we can recall how Britain and her leaders stood against a Nazi tyranny that wished to eradicate God from society and denied our common humanity to many, especially the Jews, who were thought unfit to live. I also recall the regime’s attitude to Christian pastors and religious who spoke the truth in love, opposed the Nazis and paid for that opposition with their lives. As we reflect on the sobering lessons of the atheist extremism of the twentieth century, let us never forget how the exclusion of God, religion and virtue from public life leads ultimately to a truncated vision of man and of society and thus to a “reductive vision of the person and his destiny”.

Britain is now one of the most secular countries in the world, and yes, they stood up bravely against the Nazis…we cannot say the same about the Catholic Church, which had a complicated relationship with Nazi Germany that can’t be called quite collaboration, but also can’t be called opposition. The Nazis did not try to eradicate God from society — read Mein Kampf. It is not an atheist tract at all. The population of Germany was largely Catholic and Protestant, with very few open atheists.

Oh, well, we knew he was going to spew lies. That’s nothing new. He’s the pope — he doesn’t care much about truth.
