I know I should restrain myself, but I really can’t.
Back in January I wrote a post about how many people the Judeo-Christian god “Yahweh” killed according to their “Old Testament” or “Tanakh”.
So far it’s had 69 comments. Some of them are hilarious but none more than the most recent one left by teenage “Heather S”.
She has some ripper statements like:
In the bible, God pretty much said do what he says and you shall live a great life.
So if those retards back then didnt listen. When they had prophets plain as day telling them what God is telling them to do. And from what your saying. “God Murdered Them.â€
well, hello. If he brought you into this world, he sure as hell can take you out.
and
i didnt read all of the reply thingys…
who said they believed in evolution????
OMG! Are you serious?
mmk, so you think you came from a fucking monkey?
so someone in your family tree screwed an ape? honestly.
and my favourite:
Cameron you seem like a funny sad, sick, slightly mental little person.
At least she got that part correct.
God bless you Heather S. You made my afternoon.
Wanted to comment but don’t know where to begin when faced with such stupidity. All you can do when faced with someone such as Heather is sell them religious trinkets to ward off evil spirits.
Well I haven’t always loved what you’ve had to say on the Christian thing (like I get frustrated with your head to head with the good rev bob on his podcast) but yeah – it seems there are an overwhelming majority of vocal religious types ready to talk crazy stuff and make us all look bad.
oh yeah, I meant to say: you seem like a funny sad, sick, slightly mental little person to me too. I like that.
Yeah… the Christians are the ones that believe in telepathic invisible magic people who walk on water… but I’m the mental person because I demand logical and rational explanations for things. I love it.
I always have to restrain myself from smiling profusely and laughing my head off when I get told Bible stories as if they were fact. One of my favorite pastimes is to ask how they would live their life before the Bible was written. They tend to get stuck and recite it at that point. That part is especially hilarious. 🙂
This is a very worrying thing actually. It is a minority with idea offense, humiliating, demeaning and agressively all-inclusive. They assume they can claim validity without anyone holding them accountable. I grew over it but as a child I felt instinctively hurt by what the nuns told me. I lashed out and they went as far as make me eat from a trashcan to teach me a lesson. But worse than their petty torture were the claims about Hell, Soul, Original Sin, Vice, Temptation. I will fight those horrid ideas for the rest of my existence – and that may be a long long time.
It amuses me when some people tell me I’m deluded because I don’t have any invisible friends.
when it stops amusing you and starts pissing you off and scaring you… call me.
So how do you feel about other religions such as Islam, Hindi, Buddhism, and so on? Is it just Christianity you aren’t fond of or religion in general? Just curious.
Lucy, I think all religions are a throw-back to primitive times when humans were less educated and inclined towards mythological interpretations of data. Christianity today is particularly bad because it prospers in Western countries where people *should* be better aware of how to comprehend the world around us without resorting to mythological mumbo-jumbo. Modern Christianity feeds on human ignorance and weakness, denigrates us as a species and threatens our survival.
