Fuck him and the god he rode in on.

1. And somebody will blame it on the atheists in 5...4...3...

I'm currently in the Deep South, visiting the relatives for Xmas. So I was already getting a lot of unwanted religion. This horrible tragedy has just amped up all the usual mindless crap about "God has reasons" etc.

Went in a local bookstore here today. Among the piles of future mulch by Sophisticated Theologians like Joel Osteen and Billy Graham, I found one lonely, dusty, neglected copy of Dawkins' "Greatest Show On Earth." Bought it and will probably leave it with some relatives who need it worse than I do.

To my amazement, the store also had 1 copy of Hitchen's "God Is Not Great." It's probably been sitting there since 2006. But I already have that one at home.

5. "God has reasons".....

Yeah, right. I was talking to god the other day. I have a very very devout friend who lost her father a few months ago and just lost her husband at age 52 a few weeks ago. Well, I decided, since she believed so much in god and knew he had his reasons for putting her through this, that I would chew his ass out big time. I have no idea what his reasons could be for causing so much pain, but I told him that was ENOUGH.

Well, he must not listen to atheists, because this week, she lost her mother-in-law. Doubt that he is listening to her either, because I am sure that she has told him that she can't take it anymore.

I would like to get my hands on this god.

2. He has two gods: NRA and MONEY

[Arugula Latte]

3. Yes, "gentlemen" prefer to allow innocent children to be slaughtered out of spite.

Who wouldn't want to worship a deity with those kind of values?

4. Batman didn't step up either, but I don't hear him making excuses. n/t

6. If I were a teacher

I would almost be inclined to parade my class up and down the hallways with drums and tambourines:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare

7. Check out this xian arsehole on Facebook:

What a total prick.

(not a Poe: http://www.facebook.com/john.rennard/posts/770030851046 41 morons "like this&quot

[Rob H.]

8. What the holy living fuck?

Would he still be saying that if one of his kids had been killed? That guy's a goddamned ghoul.

[kdmorris]

10. Holy shit... I hope none of the parents see that

I would we horrified and beside myself.

[cynatnite]

12. Page not found. n/t

[Rob H.]

15. I think Facebook may have booted him

That post is now gone, and if you delete everything after "/posts" a "Page not found" page is the result.

Edited to add: it's possible he closed his account. Given that not only did he say that but defended it when people critcized it, though, maybe he did get the old heave-ho.

[kdmorris]

9. Every time a tragedy happens

The blame it on us or the homosexuals... 'cause, of course, everyone knows that atheists and gays are ruining America and causing "God's wrath to come down on us".

Fuck those people.

[Gore1FL]

11. Someone posted this on facebook:

Dear God,
Why do you allow such violence in Schools?
Signed,
Concerned Student
------------
Dear Student,
I'm not allowed in Schools.
Signed,
God


Between the shooting, the upcoming Sunday, Xmas, etc, I am about as Jesus-ed out as one can get. I finally blew up.


I proceeded to let him (and other posters) have it.

I suggested that if they believed liberals and atheists were powerful enough to keep god away they should consider worshiping liberals and atheists.

I indicated that they needed to increment by one Amendment if they are looking for something to blame.

I informed them that it doesn't make their religion any more powerful or God any more pleased when unwilling participants are forced into their rituals.

Then I posted this:

http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/religionandschools/prayer_guidance.html

Although the Constitution forbids public school officials from directing or favoring prayer, students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate," [ 9 ] and the Supreme Court has made clear that "private religious speech, far from being a First Amendment orphan, is as fully protected under the Free Speech Clause as secular private expression." [ 10 ] Moreover, not all religious speech that takes place in the public schools or at school-sponsored events is governmental speech. [ 11 ] For example, "nothing in the Constitution ... prohibits any public school student from voluntarily praying at any time before, during, or after the school day," [ 12 ] and students may pray with fellow students during the school day on the same terms and conditions that they may engage in other conversation or speech. Likewise, local school authorities possess substantial discretion to impose rules of order and pedagogical restrictions on student activities, [ 13 ] but they may not structure or administer such rules to discriminate against student prayer or religious speech.

13. That one has been around for some time and is disgusting

I remember seeing it in around 2005, and it probably wasn't original then.

[Evoman]

14. I saw that one on my facebook too.

I commented that God must hate Amish people, because he certainly didn't stop that school shooting, even though god was "let in". Also, he must really hate Batman fans.

I also suggested we need to do something about the janitors with their proton packs not letting God through the door/

[DetlefK]

16. A gentleman who knocked up a married woman.

That's classy.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. How can any sane person worship such a god?

[onager]

18. OK, Randi, gimme my $1 million bucks...

Upthread I predicted atheists would get blamed for the atrocity in CT. Though I admit, predicting this sort of behavior from Xians is on the same level as prophesying that rain will be wet.

Here ya go:

[brooklynite]

19. So God allowed children to dies because he was annoyed at their parents?

Sounds like someone worth worshiping to me...

[Gore1FL]

21. The whole religion is based on killing people because of someone else's guilt

Combine it with the opportunity to feel oppressed, and you have Christianity.

[dimbear]

20. Realizing God doesn't go where He's not wanted is halfway there. Now just grasp He doesn't go where

He is wanted either.
