This reminds me of all those really awesome scriptures where Jesus talks about how important being wealthy is, and how awesome rich people are, and about how you shouldn't care about the health and wellbeing of those less fortunate than yourself. Billboard God is so cool, guyz.
I heard a new phrase the other day, new to me anyway, "Christian atheist", those who call themselves Christians but don't attempt to follow any of Jesus' teachings. The phrase was mentioned in response to some Christian group who found out George Michael has pneumonia and are praying he will die because he is gay about which I have two other thoughts.
ReplyDelete1. Being gay causes pneumonia? Billy Graham was hospitalized ofr pneumonia recently! Seriously this is what the evisceration of teaching science has done to our country.
2. I can understand praying for Hitler or Stalin to die, but George Michael? True we're all scarred by "Wake me up before you go go" but that's no reason to pray for the man's death.
For some reason, this is my favorite blog post of yours.
ReplyDeleteSaw this on pharyngula, proceeded to barf. What's a shame is that whoever put this up can convince people to go along with this line of thinking against their own interests (which is what conservatives do in general.)
