substituteI’m not a Christian any more because that word in my country now means ignorant, bloodthirsty, hate-filled hypocrite and nothing more. The five of you who aren’t, I apologize.
I don’t tolerate Republicans or “conservatives” or any of that shit because you support the ideology and the party and the people who hate me, who want me and my friends dead, who say that I’m not American, and who want to strip us all of our civil rights and send us to concentration camps. This is not hyperbole; I’ve seen it all said by people in power.
My country is under occupation by a hostile power that seeks a theocracy and the abrogation of the Constitution, war without end, and the destruction of the middle class. No one who makes less than a half million a year benefits from them financially and no one who believes in the Enlightenment ideals of our country’s founders has any business agreeing with their ideas.
It’s total war now. I reject your god of conquest, your worship of wealth, your hate of everyone different or weak, and your ignorance.
Come and fucking get it and find out what armed liberals are like. .40 hollowpoints kill right-wingers too.

that's uninteresting to me
Date: 2004-11-06 02:23 pm (UTC)My point was not anywhere near a critique of the rationality of religion. People who preach love and humility and generosity and then act from hate, pride, and greed are poisonous to their belief sytem whether they're Christians, worshippers of Wotan, atheist Socialists, or just really intense Star Trek fans. It's an ethical problem, not a metaphysical one.

Date: 2004-11-07 03:15 pm (UTC)People act mainly on the basis of "what's in it for me?" If it happens to fit a system of beliefs they choose to wear on their sleeve, so much the better, it gives them a reason that publically does not appear to be selfish.
