Propaganda Poster: Don't Worry, Be Happy - Jesus is Coming Soon
Wednesday April 2, 2008
One thing which has confused many observers is Christian Nationalists' intransigent opposition to almost anything designed to improve or protect the environment. Their opposition to abortion and homosexuality make some sense; their opposition to lowering pollution levels and fighting global warming do not. Even if the proposed measures were flawed in some fashion, there aren't any theological principles at issue -- are there? In fact there are. Christian Nationalists oppose environmental legislation for several reasons, almost all of which are basically religious.

I realize that some promenent members of the religious right are using the end-times as the reason to oppose the ideas of global warming. But I think that the real reason is that Al Gore has become the champion for Global Warming Prevention.
The idea that humans have affected the environement in a negative way has been around for a really long time. But once Al Gore, a liberal, begin to make it his mission the conversatives had to hate it. After all, to the religious right, the liberals are terrible, evil people. If they like something, obviously it is wrong.
eriously, does anybody ever cry at an Atheist’s funeral?
I mean, since Atheists have no value whatsoever as human
beings (they’re not even human, but only inhuman animals),
since Atheists are nothing but miserable Liars, Cowards
and Murderers, after all, why would anybody in their
right mind weep over the dead rotting corpse, or bone
chips and ashes (that get mixed together with those of
others from the crematory) of a worthless dead Atheist?
And what epitaph do you engrave on an Atheist’s grave
marker? “Here lies the only good Atheist, which is a
dead Atheist”. What else is there say? Nothing at all.
No last words, no last rites, no flowers, no anything.
Every time an Atheist dies, the world is better off as
a result of that dead Atheist being dead, & its damned
God-forsaken soul burning in the fiery pits of Hades.
Which begs another related question, do Atheists cry at
funerals? If so, why? Since Atheists hate God, and they
hate Family, and they hate Country, who are they crying
for? It is true: The only good Atheist is a dead Atheist
yes, my dear TRUECRISTIAN. Atheist’s do cry at funerals. One occasion was at the funeral of my dear beloved Christian wife who passed.
Um, TRUECHRISTIAN, what gives you the idea that atheists think that humans are inhuman animals and that we are liars, cowards and murderers. Some of us may be liars etc., but most aren’t. We are very underrepresented in the prison population.
There is certainly something to mourn. A life, a friend, a lover or whatever. People who don’t believe in gods are also people–they breathe, they laugh, they feel sad, feel happy, and make friends. A life that will be missed is certainly worth mourning.
As for me, I don’t hate god. It’s hard to hate something I don’t believe. I don’t hate family or my country–which is Canada. I mourn a life that I will miss and that includes my cats.
I stand by what I said in a different thread earlier today… I think truechristian is puttin us on. It’s a hoax. At the very least, he’s not a true christian based on his behavior. Or then again, perhaps he is.
(I stand by what I said in a different thread earlier today… I think truechristian is puttin us on) Marc,
Did you ever see a little boy poking a stick at a dog that is at the end of his chain? He wouldn’t do it if there were no chain.
Truechristian is one of those drive-by posters who post once in these comment blocks then never return (at least to the same comments block). Can’t take them seriously. They are sticking to that “script” was saw posted here a few months ago, remember that? Truechristian has no interest in any of the replies we post here, and is interested in nothing more than having us waste our time.
SORRY
TRUECHRISTIAN is a troll. (Like most religious nuts.) Don’t feed it!
