Creepy Jesus wants back in to America’s schools (For a related video, click here http://christiannightmares.tumblr.com/post/37983375063/mike-huckabee-on-the-connecticut-shooting-schools)

Well you are allowed in churches and look what good it did to all those raped and molested kids….

-FA

As if he could sink lower, Huckabee has reached a new low with his bullshit. Yes, you old dumb fuck… school shootings occur because of atheism… right.

If the Westboro Baptist Church counts as a cult so do:

  • Southern 
  • Baptist Churches
  • Baptist Churches
  • Presbyterian Churches
  • Seven Day Adventists
  • Non-Denominational Churches
  • Mormons (not that many non-Mormons will argue me there, hypocrites)
  • Evangelical Churches
  • Anglican Churches
  • Calvinist Churches
  • The Amish
  • Quakers (That includes my mother btw)
  • Lutheran Churches
  • Basically any Protestant Churches I missed
  • Catholic Churches
  • The Current State of the Orthodox Christian Church
  • Basically all of modern Christianity
The Westboro Baptist Church is using the exact same passages from the exact same book that allows the entire religion to pick and choose what they want to apply to their life.
These guys just apply shittier parts.

Truth. 

The Christian scriptures were written between about 2,000 years before Christ to about 200 years after Christ. Modern science came to be with Galileo up through Newton, up through Einstein; what we know as modern science is in that period. How in the world could there be any science in scripture? There cannot be. The two historical periods are separated by so much. The scriptures are not teaching science. It’s very hard for me to accept not just a literal interpretation of scripture, but a fundamentalist approach to religious belief. It’s kind of a plague. It presents itself as science, and it’s not.

LOL, Moses.

Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock became the latest Republican to wander into eyebrow-raising territory when it came to the discussion of rape and abortion during a Senate debate Tuesday night.

Defending his stance that abortion should be illegal even in the case of rape, Mourdock explained that pregnancy resulting from nonconsensual sex is the will of God.

“I’ve struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God,” Mourdock said. “And even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”

Well now…

LMAO, wow… I mean, okay. If you can find a way around one of your savior’s core messages like that… sure. LOL, what fucking assholes. I can’t. hahaha

And then people wonder why I get frustrated when they say things like, “I believe the bible was inspired by god, and I also believe that gay people should be able to get married.”
No. You can’t believe both things because they CONFLICT with one another. The list of items above are what your “divinely inspired book” says about what marriage should be. So read it and fucking remember it.
You either have to choose to believe the nonsense written above, or you can believe in marriage equality. One or the other. So please, stop arguing with me about it.

Well… that’s nice…

This video is excellent. 

And today, we’re going to discuss the:

I believe in God’s love.” group of people. 

Not to be a dick or anything, but I don’t really understand these people. What exactly do you mean by god’s love? My main issue with these types of people is their blatant disregard for biblical reference. I have a good friend who believes that the bible was divinely inspired by god. This person also believes that god loves all his creations unconditionally no matter what… and that’s the problem.

You can’t believe both the bible is divinely inspired by god, and the idea that god loves everyone unconditionally. READ YOUR FUCKING BIBLE. The Christian god’s “love” is extremely conditional. You have to follow a lot of rules in order to be in his good graces. Old testament or new testament, take your pick; they are both full of hate and fear-mongering. You are commanded to love god and FEAR him. 

That is not love. There is no love in that equation. I’ve never loved someone whom I was afraid of. It’s not normal or healthy. It is the cornerstone of any abusive relationship. 

So please, understand that if you truly believe that your god loves EVERYONE, then you do NOT believe that the bible was divinely inspired. You have to choose one or the other. If you believe god loves all, then the bible is a load of shit. If you believe that the bible was divinely inspired, then you do not believe that god loves everyone. Plain and simple. That’s it.

Gay rights activists pie Christian leader and notorious homophobe Anita Bryant in the face, 1977.

This is fucking awesome.

See, I would have used a brick. But that’s just me being a breeder-hater …

^ I would’ve used my hand for the satisfaction of seeing a red print on her face and the sting on my palm.

Hmmm … the feel and sound of a smack would be satisfying. But imagine teeth falling out of her mouth and blooding pooling in the corner of her lip! :D 

AAHAHAHAHAHAA

Now if we could only get the conservatives to adopt pie as their weapon… then we wouldn’t have shooting-sprees from violent radicals… the worst that would happen would be activists getting hit in the face with pies.
