Since the days of the cultural revolution, that would be the 60’s not Mao’s, I have not heard the use of God-less anything and in those days I was a “God-less Commie” and then as the years wore on….I was many things…..a pinko fag…..a peacenik……a socialist…..and now I am just a liberal….in all that time my ideals have not changed that much….I have modified some to be more realistic but the basics are still the same….so I thought I had heard the last of the lame argument of being somehow “God-less”.
Well, I was mistaken…..as written in his blog, Jonathan Turley said…….
Pastor Mike Stahl is the head of an “internet church” called the Church of the Living Water and has drawn national attention due to a proposal he made a year ago: a national registry for atheists. We have seen religious and political leaders in the last year attacking atheists and even comparing them to terrorists. Stahl’s proposed national registry is the natural outgrowth of such demagoguery.
Here is Stahl’s proposal:Brothers and Sisters , I have been seriously considering forming a ( Christian ) grassroots type of organization to be named “The Christian National Registry of Atheists” or something similar . I mean, think about it. There are already National Registrys for convicted sex offenders, ex-convicts, terrorist cells, hate groups like the KKK, skinheads, radical Islamists, etc..
So, if I am an atheist I am in the same category as a sex offender? And how does this moron decide who goes on the list? Will there be a time limit…like if you have not been to church in 10 years….then you must be an atheist.
This from a pastor of a religious movement that prides itself on tolerance…..Christianity.
This type of crap, and yes I said CRAP, is why I am a deist……God exist but does not interfere nor care what one does with one’s life…..I shall always rail against those like this screaming a/hole. When will we as a society have enough of people interfering in others lives?
We will never have enough of interfering. It is hardwired in the species.
So lets start a national registry of wackjobs and this idiot can head the list.
Of all the things that are attributed to God….why can he/she not do something about people like this guy?
Hey, sign me up. Anything that distinguishes me from the likes of this guy can’t be all bad. 🙂
I agree, Larry…anything to separate me from morons like this….
Great. That will make it easier to stick them in the camps later.
Jolly, sounds like the plan to me…..
This guy is a good example of one of the downsides of the internet. No one should even know he exists much less discuss his “thinking.”
Thomas, good point……but this gives a way to attack this morons ideas, also……
Now thats just fuckin stupid! Godhaving bastard!
Phillip I think back to something Gandhi once…..”Christianity is a good concept….too bad it has never been tried”…….
Well you know… McCarthy was right.
Terrant that is sarcasm ….I bet…..
Of course 🙂
