This article about the Washington atheist sign at the capitol building is fun reading. Apparently, they're protesting the "hate speech" of declaring that:
"religion is but myth and superstition"
The ironic part? The same folks are holding signs that say "Atheists go to hell" and have preachers saying "It is time to chase out of the house of God all the unbelievers and evildoers". Well, not to mention there is certainly a credible case to be made that if saying "religion is a myth" is hate speech (untrue), then saying "unbelievers go to hell" is certainly a stronger form of hate speech.
(To be clear, I don't think it is ... I just think its brainwashing. It becomes hate speech when they think that unbelievers *should* go to hell).
Oh fundies. Always a source of entertainment.

What. The. Fuck.. I think that if we can't give the age of the Grand Canyon because it offends religious sensibilities, we should have a seperate section in stores for the religious. Like, a section where the microwaves are plastic squares so that God can enact a Miracle to fill them with microwave energy. And that their smoke detectors don't use radioactive isotopes with half-lives longer than the age of Noah's flood, since that would have *obviously* washed away all the other stuff. Oh, and they can't use Solar Power, since the Sun doesn't fuse stuff, it provides energy by God's Graces, so he can power their homes directly. Etcetera.
That is, any and all technology that can have an even marginal religious offense, religious people can't buy. Then I'd like to see them bash atheism. |
