Yesterday I was under the impression of sociopathic loner took a collection of heavy artillery no American civilian would ever need ever to a crowded movie theater and went on a shooting rampage.That’s what I thought the story was.
Now I’m seeing that, apparently, because he had been convinced by liberal evolutionist socialized education indoctrinators that he is nothing more than a soulless animal with no more special access to a magical post-mortem care-a-lot than a termite, he simply acted much in the way any other animal obviously does.
See, in the jungle a zebra or a bear or a parakeet, will frequently go on a rampage and just kill a dozen other parakeets or zebras or bears for no real reason. The only thing that keeps us from behaving this way is our covenant with a giant ghost who lives in outer space. To express this covenant, obviously, we mutilate our penises.

More dispatches from my uber-christian mother. 
By the by what the hell does this even mean?  According to my christian up bringing, we can’t know what god’s plan is for us; you just have to live according to the bible and god will revile your path to you as you get to where you’re supposed to be.  So with that logic, this makes no sense.  Since once again, according to christians- You DO NOT have any control over your own life or actions. Magic Sky Daddy does all of that for you.

So, there’s a god and he has a plan and Joyce Meyer knows the plan, but I don’t and so there’s no way for me to be in on the plan unless I listen to Joyce Meyer, who seems to be some kind of a conduit. I don’t know, folks, do I risk not listening to her and going to hell? I better just give her all my money, you know, just in case I CAN’T PROVE SHE DOESN’T KNOW GOD’S PLAN!

Liberals and the Holy Bible.

joshua-garcia:

Liberals are always mocking Christians

Hyperbolic straw-man, I already take nothing you say seriously.

and calling us fake Christians

Non-sequitur: use of the word “us” has no reference point.

because we allegedly don’t care about the poor.

Combination non-sequitur (still don’t know who the “we” is) and straw-man (because we don’t know who the allegation is being made by.)

Liberals believes a true Christian should believe in socialism 

Setting up a straw-man.

because in their eyes Jesus was a socialist.

Begging the question.

Now, what I find funny is: Liberals appeal to Christians principles

poor grammar

like giving to the poor when they want to push their liberal agenda,

poisoning the well

but they become enraged when Christians try to push other Christian principles like pro-life and traditional marriage laws.

“…principals like pro-life.” Son, can you read? Do you know the difference between an adjective and a noun? Because if you can’t clearly articulate your point, why should I think you clearly thought it through?

Furthermore, Christian principals like hetero-normative marriage only applies to Christians.

They say, “helping the poor is a public matter, abortion and marriage are private matters”.

So many grammatical errors!

What liberals fail to realize is:

:?

Christianity is about surrendering your entire life to Jesus, public and private matters included.

Yeah, well, you know it isn’t the government’s fucking job to push Christianity on people, right? Our laws are founded on principals of reason and enlightenment, not on some backward bronze-aged childish superstition about magic ghosts who live in the clouds.

The way you talk, behave and think.

This is not a sentence. Why should I take you seriously?

Liberals claim that Christians pick and choose, but liberals don’t realize they do it themselves.

Pick and choose what? Morality? First off, this is just another in a never-ending stream of straw-man arguments you’ve made. Second, there’s nothing wrong with picking and choosing your morality. Somethings are obviously morally objective, but other things aren’t.

Before you point the finger, make sure your hands are clean. 

This is not a saying and it doesn’t make sense.

This reminds me of the time when Obama was at the prayer breakfast and used holy scriptures to support his ideals.

Right, how opportunistic of a president to do that. Only Obama has ever done that, right? And how inappropriate of the president to talk about his view of the Bible at a prayer breakfast, right?

Liberals loved the Bible then and didn’t complain. However if Bush used scripture to support his ideals, Liberals would be crying in the streets that Bush was forcing religion down their throats. 

Uh, good thing Bush never did that? Dumbass.

I love poking fun at liberal hypocrisy. 

Well, you’re really shitty at it, maybe you need some practice. Here’s some advice for you.

Proud parenting moment number 2,791 this morning.

teachthemhowtothink:

Fundamentalist Christian sister-in-law and her family are coming here tomorrow for the 4th of July.  She’s… angry… with me and thinks I’m possessed by the devil or some such nonsense, so I felt the need to prepare my son this morning for any potential issues. 

Me:  Hey Alex?  Pretend I’m someone else for a minute, k?  I’m going to ask you some questions.

My son:  Okay!

Me:  Do you pray?

My son:  Do I play what?

Me:  No, do you pray?  Do you talk to god?

My son:  No… do you talk to god?

Me:  Of course I talk to god!  I talk to god every day.

My son: What do you talk about?

Me:  HA!  That was awesome.  Okay, do you believe in Jesus?

My son:  Mmmm… not really.

Me:  Why don’t you believe in Jesus?  Didn’t your mom tell you about Jesus?

My son:  Oh!  Sure, she told me about him.  He’s a character in the Bible.

Me:  He is in the Bible!  And you know you have to believe in him to go to heaven, right?

My son: How do you know heaven is real?

Me:  Because it’s in the Bible, of course.

My son:  How do you know the Bible is true?

Me:  Because it is God’s word.  

My son:  How do you know it’s God’s word?

Me (grinning):  Okay, I’m me again.  You know what kid?  You deserve a massive high five.

My son:  I know.  

Questions, people.  We don’t need to know or have all the answers… we just need to be able to ask questions.  ~JJ

Focus on the Family claims Colorado fires are just like premarital sex

not only is this grossly slut-shame-y and heteronormative, but it’s so insulting to the people who have lost their homes and the lives that were taken. Focus on the Family can’t get much lower in my book. This is so disgusting. Though it is interesting that CitizenLink deleted the original article… 

And I wish that this article had actually done more to counter the ridiculous statements made, with more sources and facts, instead of gifs and jokes.

That’s what happens to a perfectly good human brain when it’s taught from childhood that the Bible is actually real.

Our latest billboard, HATRED, featuring Dr. James Dobson of the Focus On the Family hate group.






[The gay] agenda includes
… redefining the family to represent “any circle of people who love each other.”
- James Dobson






James Dobson has made a successful career from his hatred of gays and independent women. He rubs shoulders with the most prominent US politicians and is a wealthy best-selling author.
Serving as head of the hate group Focus on the Family, Dr. Dobson has even written a book for new parents with such gems as how to keep your child from turning out gay.
We got a copy as a gift, and threw it out.

NEW YORK (AP) — A decade after the clergy sex-abuse crisis erupted, the first Roman Catholic church official has been criminally convicted for failing to alert parishes or police about known predators.

Mark the date, friends, June 24th, 2012, the FIRST and so far ONLY American church official convicted so far for hiding child molesters from the law. 2012!

My mom listens to Focus on the Family.

Found that out today.

Good thing I didn’t plan on coming out tonight or anything.

Never ever coming out.  ever.

This is the kind of thing Christian-right groups do to families. It breaks them.
