Did I miss a meeting?

I’ve often wondered the same. Damn! If I’m just “making up” my morals, why did I have to make up such a goody goody set of morals!?

Why didn’t they just say three out of ten? Can’t they find the least common denominator? Maybe they should spend less time in church and more time in school.

I’m pretty sure this is a metric conversion error.

I love the subtext that Christian countries are easy targets because of their complacency. I guess religion really is the opiate of the masses.

Damn right! Where’s my share of the slaves?

You know, I’ve wondered about this sort of thing, myself. I’m told I’m an atheist because I want to lead a life of sin and not be held “accountable”. Where is all of this unbridled hedonistic pleasure I’m supposed to be experiencing? Was there a memo I didn’t get? Did I miss a meeting?

I bet you materialistic atheists out there didn’t know you were enslaving six out of every twenty people living!

Damn right! Where’s my share of the slaves?

I think they got that 30% figure from the Bureau of Pulling Scary Lies out of Thin Air, we’re not even at that now, are we? And they used 6 of 20 because 6 sounds scarier than 3, pretty sure that technique is in the Propagandist’s Handbook.

Being called a godless commie these days is bad enough, but back then, lives and careers were routinely destroyed over such allegations. I guess we can be thankful for that, yes?

Mary K.:

You’re right. It’s one of the purest examples of fundie moronitude. It’s right up there with Jerry Falwell blaming 9/11 on the feminists and pagans.

I don’t have as much time for blogging now as I’ve had in the last few months. A zillion other blogs have covered his comment, so I won’t be doing an article myself.

The ‘communist’ gov’mints mentioned are about as communistic as the US is democratic. Heinlein mentioned in one of his books that there is nothing really wrong with communist as it requires the same intelligent, active citizen to make either real communism or real democracy work.

Additionally if you really look thru the buybull you can easily read communism as a basic part of christianity. The gov’mints mentions where NOT communism – they were CALLED communism. What they were and are are totalitarianism. They hated religion and skeptx alike. the skeptx could not be thought controlled and the religious had their minds so wrapped up in jepus (or who ever) that they could not be controlled either. And since the religious have shown they are just as capable of totalitarian behavior, the ‘atheist’ label is BS, as they know.

This one is creepy. I had some documents from a labor union from about the same period of time. I sold them on Ebay. The documents contained a clause that the applicant must sign stating “I am not, nor have I ever been…” The buyer stated that he would frame the application and hang it in the union hall as an example of something that they would never do again.
