In case you all weren't clear

[substitute]

I’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.

Jesus. You seriously need a vacation from the news, mate, or you'll end up in a clock tower somewhere. Yeah, there's a lot of fucked-up stuff about the U.S.A. that should make people angry, but what this country needs more than anything right now is reason. We have enough violence and vitriol already, and it's not doing us any good.

We all get frustrated sometimes. Just don't let it consume you.

i'm sitting here watching "the donut repair club" children's puppet show on EWTN and finding myself quite disturbed. at one point the big muscled leader of the 'angel force club' was talking about how good it was that pope pious x was able to kill thousands of muslims and stop them from taking over the world. it wasn't surprising, but i didn't think they'd be so forthcoming as to directly say that to their kids on a tv show.

i keep going back and forth between believing that conservative christians are intelligent but too deeply entrenched in their culture to be what liberals would call socially progressive and sensitive and believing that they all just totally off their rockers. and with the possible exception of a handful of moderate republicans (who would probably be better off describing themselves as libertarians and not republicans), i'm genuinely starting to believe that in order to be a republican you either have to be duped or be in on the duping.

is this what it will come down to?

I found your journal through reading chaptal's friends list. Hope you don't mind.

This is one helluva an eloquent post and captures really nicely what a lot of us are feeling with this election. Back in the days of Reagan, the Moral Majority was upfront about calling for a cultural war. It got repackaged under Bush I (thousand points of light) and again under Dubya (compassionate conservatism) but it is still the same old shit and it is time to meet their hatred with anger.

I am not a Christian because Christianity is demonstrably false. One of its fundamental premises is the very existence of a sentient supernatural entity---God---which hasn't been proven yet. I don't believe in God for the same reason I don't believe in Zeus; absence of evidence. The absence of evidence constitutes evidence of absence.
