So terrified of human choice,
They try to silence every voice,
They attack,
All that doesn’t stack,
With their appaling bigotry!
Meet the Evangenitals (AKA the frightened little babies of the Christian world). They’re not the norm, many Christians are way more tolerant than these fools but they are the ones who’ve weaponised Christianity against the rest of us.
I guess they were too busy hurting others to read Matthew 25…
“Whatsoever you do to one of the least of these, my brethren, do you also unto me.”
There are two kinds of Christian. Some are genuine, sincere, compassionate and strive to be a source for good in the world. They’re the ones who are represented in the old hymn, ‘Make me a channel of your peace’.
Then there is the other kind. These Christians are stuck in the Bronze age mindset of the Old testament. They prefer oppression over peace, nationalism over fellowship and hatred over love. I guess they were too busy hurting others to read Matthew 25…
“Whatsoever you do to one of the least of these, my brethren, do you also unto me.”
It is my belief, which I told Jonathan several times throughout the discussion, that he simply is not equipped for this type of discussion.
This is both the longest and the most infuriating conversation I’ve had with a Christian. It’s definitely what you might think of as ‘long form’. It is my belief, which I told Jonathan several times throughout the discussion, that he simply is not equipped for this type of discussion. I have advised him to learn the basics of his religion and to actually read his Bible.
In the second half he demonstrates his utter contempt for anyone who doesn’t agree with him, his dismissal of any notion of equal rights and just how much he deserves the rarely applied (but in this case very well deserved) label of ‘Christofascist’.
His misogyny, racism, homophobia and xenophobia are expressed with a smug pride that has to be seen to be believed.
If we give people like Jonathan an inch they’ll drag us all straight back to the bronze age!
I’ll keep hold of my integrity,
And if I’m wrong then what will be will be!
The flaw of Pascal’s wager’s plain to see, If their God can be fooled so easily, God knows all things, But if I sing a few hymns, And recite a few prayers, I can catch Him unawares.
Jesus isn’t coming guys,
No raptured flight into the skies
This world needs compromise,
Your sabre=rattling won’t change that,
So calm down, Mr. Trump – you sanctimonious twat!
