The lies they tell

I’m an atheist. That doesn’t make me your enemy. Please stop lying about me.

I’m an atheist. That doesn’t make me your enemy. It just means I’m not convinced that your God is real. It’s a difference of opinion. That’s all there is to it. Please stop lying about me.

America, Nazism and the Christian right

Can you imagine what would have happened had Nazi Germany been as strong as modern America?

It’s awful to watch the USA’s decline from across the pond. There’s a real sense of history being made as the country’s fall begins. It’s like watching the Barbarian sack of Rome or, more appropriately, perhaps the beginning of the end of the German weimar republic between the wars.

Elected on the back of countless sermons by Christian nationalists and white supremacists the President seems determined to follow the fundamentalist ‘Heritage foundation’ far right ‘Project 2025’ agenda. This 900 page document covers everything from education to services, healthcare to the ‘right’ kind of Christianity. It’s a blueprint for authoritarian dictatorship straight out of Margaret Lockwood’s ‘A handmaids tale’.

Just like Hitler post 1933, Trump is dismantling law enforcement, removing protection for minorities, sacking prosecutors and investigators and enabling vigilante attacks against political opponents.
He’s attacking legal infrastructure and putting party faithful in key civil positions that should be apolitical.

He’s drawing lines against ally nations and others and even claiming foreign land as America’s. Is this a modern punt for leibensraum?

The world might just be about to find out!

No true Christian…

There’s no hate like Christian love, especially when they direct it at each other.

There’s no hate like Christian love, especially when they direct it at each other. The ‘No true Christian’ fallacy is just as bad as the eponymous ‘No true Scotsman’, except that it is even less rational and even more vicious.
