I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE UBER-RELIGIOUS RIGHT NOW

[filkertom]

Don't tell me how wonderful and virtuous God is. Not today. Not when, once again, God makes Pat Robertson open his big fat yap:

And you know, Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon the third, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you will get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal.

And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other. Desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It is cut down the middle on the one side is Haiti the other is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have and we meed to pray for them a great turning to god and out of this tragedy I'm optimistic something good may come. But right now we are helping the suffering people and the suffering is unimaginable.

This greedy, squinty fucktard has, does, and will continue to blame anything on various and sundry people turning away from what he tells them is the True Faith. Notice that I didn't say "what he believes", 'cause I don't even think he believes it himself.

You want evil? Saying that an entire nation's troubles are based on a two-hundred-year-old fairy story, and further saying that they'd better come to your way of thinking before even worse happens... using a goddamn 7.0 earthquake as a warning poster to boost your church's recruitment... that is fuckin' evil.

ETA: Even Fox News is offended. Well, at least Shepard Smith, who is way, way better than a lot of people there.

I cannot fathom how ANYONE could possibly think that blaming this kind of catastrophe on devil worship and label it as "They had it coming" and sleep at night.

It's very simple. They have no concept of feeling outside what is espoused by their tiny world view. Anyone who doesn't fit can go burn.

When you live in fear of reality long enough the myths you invent about it become real.

I believe the phrase "Never believe your own bullshit" applies nicely then. GRRRRRRrrrrrr.......

Unfortunately I can. I've been a Pagan for 30 years and have encountered enough people who claim to be Christians who have said such cruel and malicious self-righteous things to me and about people like me.

I am SO glad Robertson was never elected to be President.

One person's theory: It's the only way to reconcile omnipotence with natural disasters. (http://zoethe.livejournal.com/718009.html)

This kind of thinking HAS no justification, rationalization, or good intention. This is meant specifically to harm, and THAT is excuse for nothing. Forgive me, I'm not angry with you by any means and you have a right to put forth all theories and commentary on the subject. I thank you for putting this out there. In the end I'm angry with this JERK OFF.

"This is meant specifically to harm..."

That's where you and I will have to depart.

I'm no longer sure that this is malice. It looks like it might be stupidity.

I could see how you might think so, but having been in his position as long as he has, thinking and acting this way for so long can be nothing but willful. Willful ignorance, in my opinion, is willful harm done to others.

I appreciate that we disagree on this subject, but thank you for continuing to talk with me about it. I appreciate your openness to dialog, and I welcome any further commentary you have. Cheers :)
