Check out the following post from itsjustsummer quoting Pat Robertson and then think of it from an atheist’s perspective:
Pat Robertson: Fueling The Mosque Arson
In an obvious attempt to stir up fear in the Murfreesboro community, Pat Robertson told his audience:
“It isn’t just religion, just isn’t. Mark my words. If they start bringing thousands of Muslims into that relatively rural area, the next thing you know, they’re going to be taking over the City Council. Then they’re
going to be having an ordinance that calls for public prayer 5 times a day. Then they’re going to be having ordinances that there’ll have to be facilities for foot-washing in all the public restrooms, in all the airport facilities, etc, etc. And, before long they’re going to demand, demand, demand, demand, and, little by little, the citizens of Murfreesboro, or whatever little town it is, are going to be cowed by these people. Not to mention their ability to bribe folks. I don’t know whether anybody is getting a pay-off, but it’s entirely possible.”
All this crap makes me want to hug an American Muslim and tell them I’m sorry. I may not believe in god or religion, but I do believe in the rights for humans to have their own opinion and vision of life. If that so happens to be you’re Muslim then so be it. The Pat Robertsons of this nation need to back off and leave these people alone. Just because a small group contained in a larger group is out to harm the western world, does not mean they speak for that group. Like wise with Mr. Robertson. Would he like his religious group defined by Timothy McVeigh? Thinking not!
Summer makes some great points here—I want to hug “the enemies of America” too. But what cracks me up is how the media (and pretty much anyone else) fails to call these Christians out for the hypocrites they are—Muslims are going to infiltrate our government and mandate religious practices—ORLY, Pat Robertson?
So, that’s nothing like putting the Ten Commandments in a courthouse or, say, prayer in schools, or (worst of all) teaching creationism in schools? I believe quite a few of you Christian-types have called for that on more than a few occasions. OH and don’t forget the mention of God in that pledge we MAKE our kids say in school (as though they’re gonna turn Commie if they don’t) and of course IT’S ON OUR MONEY.
>_<
Yep, CHRISTIAN infiltration—Christians forcing their beliefs on everyone is FINE, but god (lower case “g”) forbid a mosque get built someplace. THAT’S just the tip of the religiously infiltrating iceberg!!
OH, NO! CHRISTMAS IS UNDER ATTACK BECAUSE OF PEOPLE SAYING HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
You stupid fricken drama queens. Freedom of religion is fine so long as it’s YOUR RELIGION. I’m so sick of being forced to be nice to militant Christians. I’m done respecting beliefs—I respect your right to believe what you want, but WHAT you believe? Yeah, that’s stupid. Muslims are NOT trying to conquer America anymore than the Mexicans were when you Christian Extremists were last afraid of something for nothing. You can believe you’re under attack, but I’m not playing along.
HEY, CHRISTIANS: HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
(PSST! Jesus never existed!)
