1. Seeing people who don't live in terror of some god
live ethical and joyful lives rocks the foundation of their world: that the world would be uninhabitable if we didn't all live in fear of hell.

The superiority of the atheist was shown by Mr. Sherman, who had the forbearance to allow this stupid woman to make that big of an ass of herself.

She got only one other pinhead to applaud. The rest of the hearing was clearly embarrassed by this intolerant asshole's outburst by their attempt to shut her the hell up.

I sincerely hope this performance contributes to her defeat in November.

2. Yikes.
That kind of thing is scary from someone of any political persuasion.

4. Fucking moron.
Where in the world does this blithering idiot get the idea that atheists are pro-gun in schools?
Sounds a LOT like Pat Robertson.

5. Blarg
That's some nasty shit. And people wonder why I'm so leery of politicians who profess to be religious (especially those who have scads of religious and spiritual "advisors").

6. So, several millenia of human progress in...
...math, electronics, and computer technology lets me sit behind a keyboard in Egypt and instantly watch a video...

...and THIS is what I get?

I'm feeling cranky tonight anyway, partly because of a tough work week.

But after hearing this ignoramus, I'm ready to come back to the U.S. and open up Camp Jesus.

My crankiness is also partly inspired by reading too many whines about how the Evil Atheists would persecute Xians if they got the chance. (I even see variations on that theme in DU.)

Camp Jesus will be located on the patch of America that most closely resembles the Holy Land--the Nevada desert. It will be an invitation-only luxury resort. But certainly open to anyone who, like that doofus above, shoves their face into a public forum and stirs up hate against people who don't share their particular religious delusions.

So that the inmat...er, guests can more deeply appreciate Biblical times, they will live EXACTLY as Their Lord And Saviour did 2,000 years ago. None of those evil scientific influences. No in-home electricity (developed by the atheist Thomas Edison, by the way). No cars. No La-Z-Boy recliners. Indoor plumbing? Sorry, the pagan Romans had that, so you wouldn't want it anyway.

Daily food rations will consist of 5 loaves and 5 fishes. Need more? You know what to do. The answer is right there in the Buy-bull, as you bloviating asshats always like to remind us.

And don't even think of asking for modern medicines. They must be evil, since they prolong human life instead of letting it end at its natural time.

This will really suck for your babies, but you can console yourselves with visions of the little nippers' souls floating up to Heaven on angel wings, just like in that popular TV show a few years ago. Unless you're a strict Augustinian, of course, in which case you can visualize them frying in the fires of Hell like so many little Doritos.
