Brazil orders Netflix to pull "Gay Jesus" movie
"
a Christmas special, caused such fury among Brazil's conservative Christians
that 2 million signed a petition calling for its removal,
while a group lobbed firebombs at the office of the film's creators on Christmas Eve."
What better way to show
how much love and tolerance you've learned from Jesus
than to throw firebombs on His birthday?
But telling nonbelievers that they are evil and deserve eternal torture?
Not a problem
In other words ...
"Because we are the vast majority
and have a long, bloody history of violence and murder,
we can offend and insult you in the most horrible way imaginable;
but if you dare to insult our imaginary friend
we Ghost Worshipers will do, what we do best ...
Ignore God's Commandment about killing
(He was just joking when He wrote that one anyway)"
UPDATE 1/10/20
Brazilian judge reverses the order to pull Netflix's "Gay Jesus" movie
Uh oh.
I can already smell the vapor of napalm in the air
as Jesus' followers all over Brazil
begin constructing more fire bombs
and prepare to descend upon this poor judge's home.
PRAISE JESUS!

Hindus are flexing their muscles in India under Prime Minister Modi.
Many Christians have been arrested after being accused of using Christmas
to steal Hindu children from their cult and convert them into ...
the Christian cult
Now we are witnessing a real "War on Christmas."
Not that bullshit nonsense that Fox News always uses to pander to their morons.

RUSSIA

In the mid-twentieth century Stalin tried to impose secularism on Russia ... He failed.
The Christian backlash has been substantial.
Their current leader Putin (who apparently plans to hold power for life) is a devout Christian.
The Russian Orthodox Church (Christians) represent about 80% of all Russians -
a higher Christian percentage than found in America (~70%).
So what do Christians do, in a majority Christian nation?
The same thing Muslims do, in a majority Muslim nation -
they attack anyone who refuses to submit to their domination.
Anywhere you go on Earth ... it is what religion does.
Russia passes anti-gay bill
But that's not all.
To consolidate power and insulate themselves from attack,
the Christian Russian Orthodox Church (CROC) is emulating American Evangelicals
by attempting to turn Russia into a "Christian nation."
Unfortunately, Russia does not enjoy the protection
of a "First Amendment" as does America,
so Christians in Russia are marching toward a theocracy nearly unopposed.
Russia is heading back into the Dark Ages.
This is not a good thing.
Insulting religion is now a crime

"
Thou Shalt Not Kill "
The most meaningless of all God's Commandments
It took the Church hundreds of years to admit wrongdoing in the Galileo affair.
This time it only took them 20 years to confess their guilt in Rwanda.
Now, if we could just convince them to stop protecting their child rapists
we might someday see Conservative Catholics
take their place among civilized human beings.
(which means that they would no longer be "Conservative" Catholics)

Evolution Meets Christianity: Christianity Wins
Christianity is like a spreading cancer
that will suck your money and dilute your education,
as this story just demonstrated.
Even Scientology would be less destructive.
Plus you would be entitled to free visits from Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
Compare that to what the Christians are offering you ...
Kirk Cameron and Pat Robertson
Not to mention, that with Scientology,
you don't have to worry about that whole "Eternal Torture" thing.
Seriously Korean dudes, if you are going to screw up your country ...
at least pick the lesser of two evils

Decline of the Christian Empire
12/15/16
Why are conservative Christian congregations growing
while modern, progressive Christian congregations continue to shrink?
They didn't attempt to explain why ... but I will.
There is a gigantic intellectual gap
between Conservative Christians (found mostly in the Republican party)
and modern, progressive Christians (found mostly in the Democratic party).
It is nearly impossible to reason with conservative Christians.
Facts and truth mean nothing to them.
They cannot be educated; nor can they be reasoned with.
They follow the God of the Old Testament and ignore all of Jesus' teachings.
But progressive Christians tend to accept science.
Facts and truth do matter to them.
They try other religions and even no religion.
These Christians follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
For most of the positive changes we see in American society
we can thank, mainly, progressive Christians.
(for example: gay marriage and abortion services)
Most the horrors we see in American society
can be laid at the feet of conservative Christians.
(like white supremacy and the attempts to theocratize our democracy)
Since the Conservative mind refuses to reason,
our best bet is to join modern, progressive Christians in prayer ...
and pray that Fox News accidentally transmits a fatal brain virus to its viewers

Survey finds Americans are becoming more skeptical of the Bible
So what took them so long? The Bible hasn't changed, has it?
(Oops! I almost forgot about all those dozens of different Bible versions)
I think the real reason why people are waking up
is because of the anonymity granted by the internet,
which has given people a degree of safety never known before.
They can now express themselves with far less fear of reprisal.
They can find support from groups of rational people,
even if they live in a forsaken area like the Bible Belt.
And the best news is the demographic. This age group represents the future.
And the future is looking a whole lot brighter ... than the past.

Quote from Creationist Ken Ham:
"
Of course, children believing that the universe and everything in it
were designed by God isn’t acceptable to secularists. Their solution?
One key way is to use picture books to teach children
the evolutionary view of the universe, beginning in kindergarten.
This actually reminds me of a quote attributed to Hitler:
'He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future!' ”
Ken,
Hitler got that one right; which is why you Ghost Worshipers are screwed.
The percentage of nonbelievers among millennials
is higher than that of any generation ever recorded ...
Poll shows that God is fading faster than a desert oasis
So when you die Ken, it looks like you'll be joining those dinosaurs you like so much.
Centuries from now, if anyone does look back at the sad little men
who did their best to hold back civilization ...
your picture will give them something to laugh at.

Morality
2/24/22
But here is one thing that Jesus actually got right (Matthew 10:34-36):
34
“
Think not that I am come to send peace on Earth:
I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father,
and the daughter against her mother,
and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.”
Anyone who has read the heartbreaking stories
posted daily on the atheist subreddit
knows that Jesus has been far more successful at destroying families ...
than he has been at converting the world to Christianity.

Bad Christian arguments:
"
Without God there is no objective morality "
The argument of Objective Morality is self-defeating
because the morality that God tries to impose on humans,
is not even followed by God himself, and is therefore ...
not objective
And objective according to which version?
And according to which denomination?
There are so many to choose from;
and all of them differ ... some drastically.
Here is God's idea of morality ...

Bad Christian arguments:
"
There can be no charity without God "
First, point out that their faith "instructs" them to give. Then ask them:
"Without an invisible ghost to threaten you for disobeying, would you still give?
If they say "yes" - then ask "Then why does one need God to be charitable?"
If they say "no" - then they are only giving out of self-interest.
Or you could just send them this ...

This statement was made on the floor of the U.S. senate in 1850
by Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America:
“
Slavery was established by decree of almighty God ...
It is sanctioned in the Bible, in both testaments, from Genesis to Revelation ...."
Well Mr. Davis, I'm afraid I have some rather bad news for you:
it has been disestablished by decree of "We the people."
And if you think that's bad, you wouldn't even believe
how many other biblically-sanctioned religious freedoms we've retracted ...
since the day you were mercifully fed to the worms

I sent the following email to dozens of Conservative Christians:
"
In Exodus, your God bragged about murdering countless innocent Egyptian babies.
Then He created a holiday (Passover) to celebrate the slaughter of these babies.
My question isn't about Him though. My question is about you ...
Why would any moral human being worship such a hideous murdering beast?
And a follow-up question:
Since you do - how could you be considered anything other than monsters yourselves? "
For some odd reason, not one of them was willing to stand up and defend his God.

This paragraph was copied from the home page of Christian apologist, Wintery Knight:
"
Dr. Craig is willing to debate. Where are the atheist debaters?
Why are atheists afraid of Dr. Craig?
Why are they afraid of his arguments?
What do they have to lose that stops them
from putting their arguments and evidences up against his? "
So guess what follows this paragraph on his web site?
video after video of atheists debating Craig!
William Lane Craig
vs
Christopher Hitchens on the existence of God
William Lane Craig
vs
Bart Ehrman on the resurrection of Jesus
William Lane Craig
vs
Sam Harris on morality
Aren't their feeble little minds precious?
No wonder this guy can't find any contradictions in the bible.
He doesn't even know what they are.
I've found the perfect description for "Wintery Knight":

Bad Christian arguments:
"
No morality without God "
This poll shows that the more backwards and barbaric the nation,
the more likely they are to connect morality with belief in god.
(and notice how America went out of its way to embarrass itself ... yet again)
Conservative Christians claim that without their God, humans cannot be moral;
yet countless social animals and insects live in peaceful, cooperative societies.
If they can do it, why can't humans?
Lab rats won't press a bar to receive food
if they see that by pressing that bar,
a rat in an adjacent cage will receive a shock.
Bats will regurgitate blood to share with another bat
who wasn't able to find a meal.
If Christian claims are true, then I guess that means
that the rats and bats must have accepted Jesus Christ
as their personal Lord and Savior?

Do we need God to be moral?
Apes provide the answer
Actually, a good case could be made ...
that we have devolved.
Why do many animals live in peaceful, cooperative societies, without Jesus,
but Conservative Christians seem to think that humans are incapable of doing so?
Did you know that some rats won't press a bar to receive food
if they see that the pressing of that bar
delivers a shock to another rat in the next cage?
Did you know that bats will regurgitate some blood
to share with another bat who wasn't able to find a meal?
Conservative Christians claim that you need religion to be moral.
So I guess that means that the rats and bats
must have accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

Without the Bible where do Atheists get their morals?
Well, read about this experiment involving lowly rats. As far as I know ...
none of them accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
The morality of rats
So much for needing Jesus to provide morals.
Morals have existed since way before Jesus ever hammered His first nail;
in societies that never heard of "Him"; since way before humans even existed;
and will likely exist long after humans abandon ghost worship.

I NOW SUPPORT THE PUBLIC POSTING OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
I will agree that the 10 Commandments should be posted
anywhere Christians desire to post them;
including schools, courtrooms, libraries, and outside of any public buildings,
provided that ...
Christians agree to post the REAL 10 Commandments.
That would be the permanent set that God gave Moses (as described in Exodus 34);
not the set in Exodus 20 that Moses smashed.
(That first set of Commandments was in effect for what? A week? Two weeks?)
Anyway, God replaced that first set of Commandments with a permanent set.
Here is that permanent set that God gave Moses: The REAL 10 Commandments;
and the only set referred to in the Bible as ... The 10 Commandments:
Exodus 34: verse ...
14 "
For thou shalt worship no other god "
17 "
Thou shalt make thee no molten gods "
18 "
The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep "
19 "
But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb:
and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck "
21 "
Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest "
22 "
And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks "
23 "
Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God "
25 "
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven "
26 "
The first of the firstfruits of thy land
thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God "
26 "
Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk "
27-28 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words:
for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights;
he did neither eat bread, nor drink water.
And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant ... The Ten Commandments"

Let's put Christian claims of moral superiority to the test, shall we?
Okay, here's the test: Find A Christian and an atheist who each own a lamborghini
(approximate cost brand new ~ a quarter of a million dollars)
The atheist must attach a metallic IXOYE fish where it is plainly visible.
The Christian must attach a metallic Darwin fish where it is plainly visible.
Both must drive around town and then leave their cars parked for hours.
They may go to the Mall, a Bar, a Movie, or wherever they choose,
just as long as they don't return for at least a couple of hours.
If you can find one Christian in America who will accept this challenge ...
please let me know

Christian terrorists strike in Oregon
Why did I call them "Christian terrorists" instead of militiamen?
Because I believe in calling people what they are
and this quote from the article by Ammon Bundy ... proves me right:
"
The Hammond’s need our prayers.
Please take the time and get on your knees as soon as possible
and pray to our Father above for the Hammond’s.
They need our sincere prayers.
They need the Spirit of the Lord to be upon them
that they may have strength and knowledge."
Here's a quote from another one of the Conservative Christian terrorists:
"
The man identifying as Captain Moroni said he was inspired by the call,
and that the inspiration was validated by God
in the form of a flock of geese he saw flying."
Yes, these delusional Ghost Worshipers are certifiable ...

Christians believe that their invisible ghost can see everything they do,
and can hear every thought they think.
They believe that their invisible ghost
has the power to send them to a place of eternal torture.
That is why they can read countless stories about their God murdering people,
and threatening to torture billions more,
and seriously state that He is a God of love and wisdom.
What could possibly explain how modern humans
could be capable of such blindness?
There is only one emotion that can explain it ... fear.
