The Dispassion of The Atheist
June 17th, 2007 at 3:53 pm by Smantix
Allah points to a recent survey indicating that downwards of 44% of all atheists have dared to crawl out of the pond scum and onto dry land:
For instance, most atheists and agnostics (56%) agree with the idea that radical Christianity is just as threatening in America as is radical Islam.
So says these guys.
I think there is an obvious answer for this departure from reason of my fellow non-believers.
We are not sentenced to Death by the Christian hordes as opposed to the Islamomafia, therefore, we are around to complain about persecution. Outspoken Allahphobes? Not so much.
Also, one has to admit to being an atheist which, regionally speaking, I am comfortable with asserting is the last group where it is allowed to be openly discriminated against. Don’t think so?
A scant 4 months ago, before the establishment Right was intentionally infecting themselves with a full-blown case of Mitt Romney fever, a gallup poll was indicating that Americans would be more likely to vote for a 72-year old, thrice divorced, homosexual Hispanic than one of us godless heathens. Stick that one in the offering tray.
I would also include “being fat” or “from The South” but those are plainly visible identifiers for acceptable ridicule. Outside of having a Darwin fish on your trunk or mowing your grass on Sunday mornings before noon, finding an atheist can be more elusive than finding an IED inside of a Wednesday night squash casserole at Vacation Bible School.
And anecdotally, for every instance of a whacked-out Jesusphile shooting up an abortion clinic or suicide bombing a Hustler Hollywood, one can easily document exponential examples of terroristic intolerance from the goatraping gentry of Gaza.
When I see the head of the Christian Coalition taking family portraits of young Micah, Joseph, and Seth dressed up in camo fatigues and holding up loving portraits of Eric Rudolph, I will rethink my position among the benighted 44% percent minority of the minorities.

I believe Eric Rudolph is not a terrorist, but an anti-terrorist fighter. Those who have killed babykilling abortionists have done so to protect the innocent. People use force everyday to protect the innocent and no one has a problem with it, except when it comes to protecting unborn human beings, then they go ballistic. It’s very simple, the unborn deserve the same protection as the born. Born people are protected with force quite often. Force that you would be glad if it was to protect your children against a murderer. Force that you yourself might use to protect your own children from being murdered. The unborn deserve the same protection.
SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life.

Let’s not and say I did.
Assuming you’re just not a leftwing troll (my first guess), but if you are indeed the Mr. Spitz of the Army of God, let me bend your tin ear for a minute.
The tide has already turned in this country in regards to infanticide. A Supreme Court is already in place that could overturn Roe. And while even a cursory look through our archives would reveal us to be a consistent Pro-Life blog, what you support makes you nothing more than a de facto agent of the pro-abortion industry by smearing all pro-lifers with your bloody brush.
You’re not the Army of God. You’re the Pro-Abortionist’s French Foreign Legion.

Amen.
Do I get a cookie? I hope not. I’d rather have a beer. Or even better, a couple of fingers of Lagavulin. Preferably served by a 19 year old Vietnamese girl in a miniskirt.

To Rev. Spitz:
I am an evangelical Christian. Your defense of Eric Rudolph is ridiculous and offensive…and not biblical.
It is positions like yours that get evangelical Christians ridiculed…and lead to the assertion that 56% of all atheist have (see above).
Of course I am going on the assumption that you claim to be a “reverend” and are not some liberal troll/handpuppet trying to make a point.
Please don’t come in here again with that garbage and then try to evangelize with the Sinner’s Prayer. All you did was make a joke out of my faith…
Smantix, agree? Also, you don’t mind if I pray for you…do you?
Now quick…someone put up an ’80s tube so I can get this bad taste out of my mouth…

That first post was an impressive bit of trolling. A little over the top though. Need to work on that a bit. Be a little more subtle.

Religious tolerance must be politically correct. No soup for the Christians.

Is that your home’s defense system, ’cause unless you’re being invaded by a herd of prepubescent elementary school girls, that thing’s not stopping anyone.
Well, it might stop me. I’m a sucker for puppies.

My first thought was troll but then I saw someone from the Virginia area hanging out in the comment thread.
That’s the puppy they use for the “sorry” definition in the Urban Dictionary. As in, one comment into the thread and one of the peanutiest of the nutbars is making me feel sorry for defending Christianity.
