God made them do it.
Charming. That ol' Big Guy has been up to his old tricks again:
Cop: Suspect says God made him kill, cook girlfriend
TYLER, Texas (AP) -- Friends and family of a 21-year-old who police say was killed and mutilated by her boyfriend struggle to put aside the grisly details of her death.
There's enough there to know what happened. Read the whole news report if you wish to be horrified.
Yeah, clearly the guy was delusional. And I know that it is "unfair" for me to actually debit his craziness to religion.
So, to be perfectly fair, let me pass along news of a real Baptist Church organization's efforts to preach the word of God:
BALTIMORE -- The memorial service for the five members of a Parkville family killed by a wrong-way truck in an Ohio highway accident included some uninvited guests outside the service.
Three members of the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, known for protests at military funerals, demonstrated about a block from St. Luke Evangelical Lutheran Church, the site of the service.
The demonstrators said that the deaths are God's retribution against the community for a recent $11 million jury award against the Kansas group. A federal jury in Baltimore made the award in October to Albert Snyder, of York, Pa., who sued after the group protested his son's military funeral in Maryland. Demonstrator Fred Phelps said the community is going to "pay the price" for persecuting his group for preaching the word of God.
There, that's better, isn't it?

From an AP story: A guy cut off his hand and cooked it in the microwave. Because it had the mark of the Beast.

From the story:
Yeah, I bet he did - it's called religion.

I commend you for your balance
Showing both the positive and negative sides of religion keeps you from getting lumped in with the militant atheists.
Yeah...
Yes, the militant atheists. The ones with guns and bombs blowing Christians up.
I hear...
...those angry militant atheists are at the very top of that new odious H.R. 1955, the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrist Prevention Act".
Good thing we're calm, rational atheists, eh?
HR 1955
H.R. 1955....Don't watch this video if you would like to keep deluding yourself that we live in a free country.
Gods4suckers had a little post about this bill yesterday.
Thank you, thank you!
Much appreciated, Todd. I certainly wouldn't want to be mistaken for one of them.

Fundie Logic 101
Okay, let me get this straight:
1. "Reverend" Phelps and his gang make rude comments at a funeral.
2. Jury awards plaintiffs multimillion dollar verdict against Phelps for being obnoxious.
3. The Big G in the sky gets annoyed at the unjustness of it all.
4. So the Big G smites down a 2-month old, a 7-year old, a 10-year old, and their mother, none of whom were on the jury, to make the jury pay for their unjust harassment of Phelps, et. al.
...because this presumably is the just response to such a grievous crime if you are a loving, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent diety. I get it now.
Only from the mind of a Fundie.
It's really quite simple WW...
..We are all born sinners (i.e., Original Sin [TM]--you know, that bit about Eve and the talking snake and the apple and all). Obviously those children rejected jeebus as Their Savior {TM}, so they deserved it. It's possible the 2-month old entertained Impure Thoughts. We'll never know.
Or maybe it was just another one of The Invisible Cloud Being's pranks. He has quite a record for this sort of fun and games. Keeps the fan base wondering.
Next question?

Understanding Dawns
I begin to understand why the fundies get sooo wrapped up in what other people do. Their Sky Spirit could smite them for it at any moment.
Thanks, emkay and Jim, for clearing that all up for me:)
