Theodore Shoebat pines for the good old days of the Inquisition...

Well, it sure sounds that way...

Theodore Shoebat Wants Freedom Of Religion Outlawed And Atheist Books Burned

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Tuesday, 2/9/2016 11:56 am

In his latest video, Catholic supremacist and extremist anti-gay activist Theodore Shoebat called for an end to the freedom of religion in America and for books written by atheists to be burned.

Only "idiots" and "morons" support the freedom of religion, Shoebat declared, adding that the government should not be "giving freedom to those who say there is no God."

"Atheism should not be allowed," he said. "Richard Dawkins' books? Burn 'em all. Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, all these books, burn 'em. They shouldn't be allowed. They're absolutely dangerous."

"Anti-Christian" views "should not be allowed in society," Shoebat said, because they are "dangerous" and "demonic" and so allowing them to exist in the name of freedom of religion only leads to abortion, misery and violence.

"That's what atheism leads to," he said. "A giant mountain of skulls and dead people."

Shoebat? Really?

Last time I checked, it was life itself that leads to dead people.

Ted Shoebat is the son of Walid Shoebat, who says he was a PLO terrorist who converted to Catholicism and started using the "Shoebat" pseudonym to avoid reprisals. The story has been questioned, but it got "Shoebat" TV exposure and homeland security dollars
