Religion: The reason for, and (not) the solution to, all the world's problems

Silly me; what I took away from all those Sunday School classes I was subjected to as a child was that God was a benevolent and loving Deity, willing to forgive sins in the hope that we’d eventually get out shit together and live according to His teachings. The Almighty really was all about peaceful coexistence and making the world a better place.

Man, I can be SO naive sometimes….

Yeah, about that; turns out that my Sunday School teachers were a collection of spineless Liberals unable to understand that God- the REAL God- is a kick-ass, show no mercy, take no prisoners kind of Supreme Being. In fact, judging by those who regularly trot out their faith for all to see (has no one bothered to read Matthew 6:5??), it would seem we should all live in mortal fear of God’s wrath, for He/She might spite us just because He/She can.

Georgia ‘Religious Freedom’ Bill Could Protect KKK, Sponsor Admits: Yeah, who would Jesus hate??

Cruz-loving End Times pastor uses numerology to prove Obama sacrificed Scalia in pagan ritual: There’s nothing quite like watching a holier-than-thou “man of God” using the tools of the Devil to prove that The Black Guy in the White House © is the tool of the Devil.

Mississippi Dems Hope to Fix ‘All the Things Going Wrong’ by Making Bible State’s Official Book: Who needs edumication?? Wee haz Jesus!!

Ted Cruz: Phil Robertson ‘Terrifies’ People Because He ‘Speaks With Joy’: Interesting. Robertson may be many things (few of them possessing any redeeming value), but “joyful” isn’t something I’d think would be on that list.

God as the Original Terrorist: How the Bible Condones Atrocious Acts of Terror: Let’s face it- the God of the Old Testament wasn’t exactly renowned for his calm, easy-going, laissez-faire demeanor.

John Kasich Proposes Federal Agency To “Push Christianity” On the Middle East: And if that doesn’t work, we could just kill them and take their women, right?

Creationism Evangelist: God Put Contradictions in the Bible to ‘Weed Out’ the Atheists: Because those of us who consider ourselves to be good without God are entirely too stupid to grasp the subtleties of God’s Holy Book.

Sex for ‘Mere Pleasure’? Shame on You! — 15 Sexual Hang-Ups We Can Blame on the Catholic Church: Leave it to the Catholic Church to lay a guilt trip on their flock for indulging in one of life’s truly great pleasures. Why is it they can’t see sex as a gift from a benevolent God? Oh, right; that would mean celibate self-important men relinquishing control over the personal lives of Catholics.

Rick Wiles: Obama, Hillary And Pope Francis Will Destroy America: Damned Liberals…if only they understood that the gays and ISIS will enslave us all.

‘Bloodshed’ Predicted by Member of ‘Christian Civil Liberties Union’ Over New Mosque in Milwaukee: Christian charity, tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion- things evidently not found in the Bibles of these good, God-fearing “Christian” patriots.

Glenn Beck: God Killed Antonin Scalia To Help Ted Cruz: Right…I keep forgetting that the modern-day reincarnation of Sen. Joseph McCarthy is The Chosen One ©.

I Am a Muslim-American Army Reservist Who Was Turned Away From a Gun Range Because of My Faith: It’s what any patriotic, red-blooded, God-fearing ‘Merican would do…right??

Christian radio host busted for slapping woman’s ‘butt cheek’ inside Target restroom: I suppose that gives a whole new meaning to “He touched me!”

Former Oregon Militia Occupier Is Attempting to Sue U.S. Government for $666 Billion Because It’s the Devil: You may claim that God’s on your side, but somehow I don’t think this silliness is what He/She had in mind.

Heidi Cruz Says Ted Will ‘Show This Country The Face Of The God That We Serve’: Evidently, “The Face Of The God That We Serve” is a dead ringer for the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy (Have you no decency, sir?).

The ‘Religious Liberty’ Veneer On Anti-LGBT Bills Is Fading: “Religious liberty” is a sham and embarrassingly hypocritical if it means protecting only one set of (Christian) beliefs.
