| This story made me sick...and we cannot say MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113889251&sc=fb&cc=fpTo quote the beginning of it: Last month, atheists marked Blasphemy Day at gatherings around the world, and celebrated the freedom to denigrate and insult religion.
Some offered to trade pornography for Bibles. Others de-baptized people with hair dryers. And in Washington, D.C., an art exhibit opened that shows, among other paintings, one entitled Divine Wine, where Jesus, on the cross, has blood flowing from his wound into a wine bottle.
Another, Jesus Paints His Nails, shows an effeminate Jesus after the crucifixion, applying polish to the nails that attach his hands to the cross.
"I wouldn't want this on my wall," says Stuart Jordan, an atheist who advises the evidence-based group Center for Inquiry on policy issues. The Center for Inquiry hosted the art show.
Jordan says the exhibit created a firestorm from offended believers, and he can understand why. But, he says, the controversy over this exhibit goes way beyond Blasphemy Day. It's about the future of the atheist movement — and whether to adopt the "new atheist" approach — a more aggressive, often belittling posture toward religious believers.Unbelievable that the morons can get away with saying/doing stuff like this, but football players get fined and punished for "excessive celebration". This world is sucking HARD. I know every generation thought theirs was the beginning of the end...but I think we are closest. |

| I made a GOD BLESS AMERICA sign at work with Microsoft Word when I was bored one night....hung it up on the bulletin board and it was gone the next night. I have 3 bibles at work...and I do my bible study on break. Thankfully, my partner at work is also a Christian!!! Someone commmented on the NPR article that believers need to respect the non-believer's opiions. Of course, we'd respect opinions...but what they're doing is not opinion-related...it's outright hate crime stuff if you ask me. |
