here it is once more.
I'm pretty much a centrist, but socially I definitely lean to the left. When it comes to fighting Radical Islam and Evangelicals who want to push their bullshit agenda, I am on the Far Right.
Some people may find a conflict here because many Evangelicals are very Anti-Jihad, and many Atheists have their heads up their ass when it comes to the goals of Islam, and feel that supporting gay rights, for example, is the same thing ideologically as supporting Islamic rights. Atheists don't have to be MOONBATS. Atheists don't have to be blind. Atheists don't have to be Dhimmis in waiting.
Hey that isn't an Alley Cat, it is an Allah Cat, run:
Again, as proven by some of the commenters on this blog, the Far Left just don't get it. Even when given evidence, they deny and/or ignore it. Even if the evidence comes from first hand sources such as The Sandmonkey, God's Loyal Opposition, Roya (The Atheist Girl), Wafa Sultan, or The Three Former Palestinian Terrorists. Sorry but I can't handle a culture that protests cartoons on one hand but stays relatively silent when it comes to protesting terrorist acts.
As far the Christian Right is concerned, I feel I am better equipped to fight it, and I think it is a war that will eventually be won..........but not in my lifetime.
Science and fact can only be denied for so long. Let us not forget that mind numbing religious beliefs have been around for thousands of years. In fact it was the only game in town for quite a while. The Young Earth, for instance, was ingrained in our ancestors so much that it wouldn't surprise me if part of our brains evolved a small section that automatically accepts it as a given. But I have "faith" that humans are capable of overcoming this brain defect, if we are allowed to receive facts and evidence. Didn't OBL just say that Freethinkers should have their heads cut off? (Oh yeah, just some more rhetoric for the Religion Of Peace). At least the Christian Right hasn't been threatening anything like that. They just tell me I'm going to hell. I can live with that.
Yes, it is amazing that in today's day and age that 45% of Americans believe in a Young Earth and think evolution is phooey. But those numbers were much higher 100 years ago. And I expect that number to keep dropping and dropping as more scientific discoveries come along. The Christian Right can only do the Ignorant Jig for so long before their legs have no more strength.
I don't even have a problem with the fact that Fundamental Christians plop out more children than us Secularists. Just because a child is born to two delusional parents, doesn't make the child delusional. If that was true, Agnostics and Atheists would not be growing by percentage. It is my duty, and the duty of anyone who appreciates at least the basics of how scientific theories are derived, to educate as many young people as we can. Facts will win in the long run. As long as the Christian Right doesn't ban science, reality will win.
It won't be long before the Catholics start owning up to the fact that Jesus might not have existed the way they are going. I love it. Check this out at Beep Beep's. It is only a matter of time. The Christian Fundies will be dinosaurs within a century.
