Hide your Jeebus! Right Fucking Now! Just was forwarded to me from Facebook


"Yes, Mam, we Christians ARE under the worse attack in the United States of America than at any other time in our history. It is frightening!!! I encourage each one of you to memorize as many scriptures as you possibly can because if the current administration is reelected, it is not unrealistic or far-fetched to have our Bibles and other religious books banned or worse, taken from us. I believe with all my heart that this is a very real possibility. Teach your children The Lord's Prayer, 23rd Psalm, the Apostle's Creed and all the Bible Stories!!! We may not have them in written form forever. Missionaries that went into communist East Germany and the USSR found that the grandmothers had taught Bible Stories, Lutheran and Catholic Liturgies for church services and the catechisms to the children from memory in order to keep the Christian faith alive in a country where it was forbidden. God will always provide a way for his word to continue. But be aware, we ARE UNDER ASSAULT!!!"

What about the one where Lot's daughters get him drunk and rape him in a cave? After he had offered them to be raped by a mob?

Oh oh, how about God slaughtering every firstborn in the world's largest nation (at the time) because their ruler was sort of a dick?

Wasn't there one about a guy sacrificing his own daughter due to a promise with that same god?

And a story of a concubine being raped to death, then chopped into quarters and sent to the four corners of the earth in order to incite a war?

Every Bible story? Have these people ever read the bible? I'd rather teach my kids the plots to those old "Tales fro mthe Crypt" comic books.

Not the virgin girls, though. They got divvied out to the conquerors along with the livestock. Which gives you an idea of what category they put girls in.

Oh, and God demanded a share of the loot. You might want to bring that up next time someone gets all agitated about Mohammed. I mean, there wasn't any pretense that those girl's fate would be "salvation".

At least the discovery that we have a mole has thrust us into an all-out effort to root him out. Thank Satan we have experts like Peter and Johnson and Schlong working on it. They are totally UP for this!

So before you think about making a crude joke next time, just remember the heroes who are doing the hot and sweaty work to bring our mole-hunting efforts to a climax.

I prefer the Babylonian Talmud however, which is what a lot of the Genesis stories are based on.

Like the Adam and Eve story...where Eve came after his first wife Lilith. The were created simultaneously, and supposed to be equals, but Adam was having none of THAT shit. Lilith actually left Adam, after they had an argument over sex. Adam wanted to be on top, but Lilith refused, and she left his chauvinistic ass.

Then Eve, right? Ummm...not exactly. God tried to make Eve V.1 by stitching together bone, blood, muscle tissue and skin in front of Adam...and that kind of grossed Adam out so god tossed her.

Eve V.2 was made after god put Adam to sleep and created her from a rib of Adam’s. So that's actually his third wife.

The lions can de-cloak mid-leap wearing Roman armor. We'll give them something to feel persecuted about.

But seriously, the whole "He dies on the cross" thing, and whenever you point out that The Jesus also said to help the sick, the poor, etc. they yell, "But he suffered and died on the cross!" So all his current followers get to share in that persecution, regardless of the fact that they haven't been persecuted in a damn long time, and not in this country. While at the same time, they're persecuting other people.

...the fact they are no longer persecuted and have to make up persecutors in order to justify themselves? They got the peace and dominance they always wanted.....but now realize, they could be in the wrong for being in the dominat....so they make up monsters.

Its the same in any dominate religion influenced government...they get what they want...and suddenly realize according to their own texts...they are the enemy. So they exagerate and imangine persecution wher there is none.

Maybe that's why Christ more or less advocated "giving Ceasar unto what is Ceasars"...or in plain terms....keep religon the fuck out of politics and government affairs.

I think the whole persecution complex is so ingrained in the religion that they nurse it along regardless of reality - hey, maybe this fits into the whole Republican issue of denying reality

Close reading it line-by-line is what turns people to atheism.

I was in a meeting of people like this the other day. I had my iPad with it linked to my website with a search window open as well. Each time the spouted some of this bullshit, I'd pull up another article disproving it. I'd passed out a list of logical fallacies and finally I just called them on No True Scotsman.

I had to visit my ninety-year-old grandma and try to convince her that Obama wasn't going to take her Bible away.

I'm not kidding.

They resurrect (no pun intended) this nonsense every election.

Can't win on the issues, or with decency--gotta spread terror, fear and lies.

LOSERS.

This is what happens when Teabaggers watch "The Book of Ely" and then tune into Glenn Beck immediately afterwards.

"IF OBAMA IS RE-ELECTED AMERICA WILL DIE!!!!" (and a romney sticker on the bumper.)

Also, in southern Washington, a giant billboard "Vote for the American for President"

They're totally fucking nuts.

was`t reagan`s wife using astrology to guide ronald through the day?

i`d say nancy reagan was a bigger threat than church going obama and family.

Many of the nicer Bibles are printed on HEMP PAPER - mfd. in France by Kimberly-Clark, IIRC.

In order to keep good Xtian chirruns from harm, DEA agents will be in churches soon to test ALL bibles for content of the devil weed, and will collect all holy books containing same for destruction at a secure facility.

I'm sure some of you merry pranksters can spin this up WAYYYY better than me....

Try being an Atheist in this country. You don't DARE talk about it publicly or you'll get proselytized to. You can't get elected to any type of political office. You're in real danger of being the victim of hate crimes by self-proclaimed Christians. In many communities you're ostracized. Yeah, cry me a river.

I live in Tea Party Central...and one of our former teachers moved away and came out of the closet about being an Atheist--of course there were the obligatory "I'll pray for you"....but quite a few unfriended him for that reason.

And once again, the Christians emulate their Messiah and nail THEMSELVES to the cross. What martyrs they all are. They do the whole "we're being persecuted" thing to a tee.

19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.


9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.


Kiddies need that to grow up moral, ya know.

..........that seems to be afflicting so many of the more......ummmm......"passionate" flock members these days, namely:

Someone saying that you do not have the right to deny other people the opportunity to marry the person of their choice because you don't like the person they chose is NOT the same as someone persecuting you.

Someone saying that you do not have the right to deny a woman the choice of what happens to her own body is NOT the same as someone persecuting you.

Someone saying that you do not have the right to plaster symbols of your faith all over public buildings that are meant for everybody regardless of their faith (or lack thereof) is NOT the same as someone persecuting you.

It's just not. Period.

It's one of the Big Ten. Welcome to hell.

Seriously, these buffoons claiming to be persecuted need to read their history ... hell, read the NT! Nobody in America is being set afire to light the President's garden. Nobody is being crucified upside-down. Nobody's taking their Bibles.

NOBODY IS BEING PERSECUTED FOR BEING A CHRISTIAN IN AMERICA.

Just because we don't want to let you RUN EVERYTHING and tell everybody else what to do, you think you're being persecuted.

What utter bullshit.

Go hide in the catacombs under D.C. Oh, wait ... there aren't any.

Really, we won't. Simply because we'd be afraid of what you would dream up to replace it.
