I can't stand atheists -- but it's not because they don't believe in God. It's because they're crashing bores. ...Well, yes, fucktard; precisely this sort of thing actually happens, not to mention all the other retarded things that religious people do, and justify according to their ridiculous infantile superstitions.
My problem with atheists is their tiresome -- and way old -- insistence that they are being oppressed and their fixation with the fine points of Christianity. What -- did their Sunday school teachers flog their behinds with a Bible when they were kids?

fixation with the fine points of Christianity
ReplyDeleteI'm an atheist and I have about as much interest in the "fine points of christianity" as I do in what the crazy dude on my block is muttering to himself every afternoon when I walk by him and he shouts at me.
Again, we can't win for losing. Either we lack an appreciation for the depth and subtlety of theology, or we're fixated on the fine points of Christianity.
ReplyDeleteYeah, "whining fucktard" describes her quite nicely. I also noticed the dilemma on which she tried to skewer us: we're “whining” when we point out their moves toward theocracy, and she accuses us of a “frenzied fascination with Christianity and the Bible” if we rebut them with their own texts. I guess what she really wants is for all of us to withdraw silently into a stained-glass closet.
ReplyDeleteWell, guess what? That’s not going to happen. We’re not going back, we’re not shutting up, and if she doesn’t like it, she can move to a Christian nation—like Vatican City. (Maybe that would allow the LA Times to hire a competent writer...)
