Kim Davis - Just Another Nail In The Coffin Of Religion

I swear, if the "new atheists" had wanted to come up with a strategy to show up Xianity for the hateful, conceited, elitist, reality challenged scam that it is, they could have done no better than to devise the whole Kim Davis circus.

Couple her antics with the racism, prejudice and misogyny flowing from all the leading candidates of God's Own Party, PLUS the ranting from the religious nutballs - clergy and sheeple alike - and we're witnessing the exposure of 'Murica's fav religion as the hateful bullshit that it is and always has been.

Gives one hope for a better world, i.e.: a more-secular world.

3. Actually, the great majority of religions that man has created for himself over the centuries

are long dead and buried, along with their gods.

Today's major religions exist only as long as people embrace willing stupidity. Yes, a lot of people still do that, but it looks like the newer generations aren't so gullible/self deceiving.

We are all atheists as to the countless religions that have come and gone over human history. The modern atheist is only taking it one god further.

Not a verbatim quote, but close enough for jazz and far beyond the requirements of rock and roll.

hate to put a fellow Sanders supporter on ignore, but the aggressive atheist schtick is part of what has made DU suck for a very long time

6. Maybe Kim can become the Martyr in a Prairie Skirt as she sits in jail

It does not have the same ring as the Blind Sheik but she will have the same type of followers as well.

I am just curious as to when they are going to up the terrorism in the name of religion, the nutter leaders are really firing up the flock over this I am sure there will be a few 'lone wolfs or bad apples' as they are always called instead of the terrorists they really are.

Eventually they'll be viewed as the pouting children they are. "My make believe daddy says this!"
