Grr, Baby, Grr!

Ah, I see. Being confident, and writing books that disagree with your magical happy-land fantasy world is now considered "ferocious". Thereby it follows that those awful atheists that write books must also be "militant".

I get it now.

[link] As more atheist-centered books and movies make their way to mainstream culture, two best-selling Christian apologists are encouraging churches to better equip their congregation to respond to what they call a more outspoken and "confident" atheism.

"The arguments are not really new but the ferociousness" with which atheists are lobbing their attacks "are coming much stronger," Mark Mittelberg, primary author of Becoming a Contagious Christian, said in a teleconference on Tuesday.

Be sure and catch the new Fox television series "When Atheists Attack!"

Love the title

Becoming a Contagious Christian. I work in the publishing industry and I have to say, they really outdid themselves on that one. It just drips with unintentional irony and/or humor. One wonders if it is Christianity that's the virus, or if there is something a little more Typhoid Mary-ish about the author.

Man, we suck at militancy...

I mean, when Muslims get militant, people freaking die and that's just over cartoons. We just write books and blog a lot...

Christian militancy seems to consist mainly of electing jingoistic anti-family anti-life warmongers to office, so that cruise missiles rain down on little villages.

Body Count

I think that if you just go by the numbers Christian (by which I mean George 'god told me to smite them' Bush) militancy is ahead. The Madrassas have a ways to go to catch up with 'shock and awe'.

as long as

As long as an episode of the much more prevalent "When Christians Attack" is shown.

Well, at least they are honest

I see they admit that the religion is a virus, making them contagious. Heck, that fits totally with the "reason is the vaccine" idea as well. Love it when a plan comes together.
