I sure am glad atheism doesn't require me to get up and go worship on Sunday mornings. I'm pretty sure that every Sunday from now on I'll post about the church, seens how Sunday is "God's day".
One of my favorite songs of all time, definitely a winner:
There's no need for me to even have to point out how horrible this song is, I'm surprised the idiot that wrote and recorded this was even competent enough to make and post this.
The song exemplifies a trend which is, in a way, an improvement: The fundie bigots and troglodytes basically recognize that they've lost the culture wars, and are now bitching and whining about it. They take comfort in their fantasies of Armageddon or of the rest of us burning in Hell, but they seem to have lost hope of ever managing to re-impose their taboos on the rest of the country in the real world.
ReplyDeleteMy comment from this morning should not, of course, be taken as minimizing the nastiness of the song's sentiments. These arrogant fanatics who think America belongs only to them and not to the rest of us as well -- they are hate-filled and vile, and I gloat at their agitation in their defeat.
ReplyDeleteAs a musician myself I couldn't listen to more than a few seconds without trying to rhyme "Christian nation" with "poor intonation." I may come back to it after a few cups of coffee and some tylenol
ReplyDeleteNotice how on the church sign at the beginning it says "ASSEMBLEY [sic] OF GOD" -- on their proper official sign. I guess teabagger semi-literacy comes from old tradition.
ReplyDeleteAnd now a word from one of our Founding Fathers...
ReplyDeleteThomas Paine (1737-1809)
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my own part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel."
