God in PoliticsIt is absolutely stunning to me. With social media being used as it is today, people of all walks of life have been sharing their thoughts about the election's outcome. We've seen some very happy statements right alongside those downright depressing ones.
Scores of twitter and Facebook statuses had messages like:
“Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they have done!”
“Thanks a lot Christians, for not showing up. You disgust me.”
“The Democrat Party voted God out and replaced Him with Romans 1. In the Good vs. Evil battle...today...Evil won.”
Prior to the election, several well-known conservative Christian voices made some pretty confident claims, including Glenn Beck’s multiple claims that God was guiding Romney to a God-ordained and divinely orchestrated victory. People were asked to pray to defeat Obama, claimed that voting for Obama was ‘Asking for God’s judgement on our country,’ and othe

The Origin of Life: Five Questions Worth Asking(1)Introduction:
Every couple weeks or so, a pair of really nice Jehovah's Witnesses drop by to chit chat with me. I don't mind because I like hearing what people think, and since she was so kind as to drop off a bible recently, I've been able to begin to address a few things within it, beginning with Genesis.
Our last conversation consisted of discussing the claim made in the Jehovah's Witnesses literature, WHAT DOES THE BIBLE REALLY TEACH? The claim was that the Bible is scientifically accurate. Most of the points I brought up (Isa 11:12, Dan 4:20, Job 26:7, etc) were dismissed as metaphors, and yet Genesis is meant to be taken as a literal explanation as far as I am aware. When posed with the question, "If some of these stories are metaphors, while the others are meant to be taken literally, how is one supposed to tell the difference when reading the Bible," they responded that it was a good question, but offered no explanation.
They did, however, o

Religion: Because blindly obeying an ancient outdated dogma makes me better than everyone else.

I just hate self-righteousness. Doesn't matter if they're "religious" or not. Why would it?

What, so you don't hate self-righteousness holier-than-thou non-religious people?

~sonrouge Jul 11, 2012

Agreed...though the term "religion" now includes more than just mysticism.

~Kelsey-Kat Jul 6, 2012

I don't hate them, I just feel bad for them.

~Ask-War Jul 25, 2012 Professional Artist

I feel a sympathetic contempt, with a dash of humor.

~Mephistophilez Jul 6, 2012 Traditional Artist

Love the stamp, it's amazing! You always do such nice work.

It just dawned on me that I bet some of those religious fucks will see this stamp and not even realize that the description fits them. The most self-righteous religious types think they're going "god's work", they don't think they're shoving their horseshit down people's throats or being judging, they just think they're doing what a good religious person does. Or they even hide behind the "it's not a religion, it's a relationship" bullshit, as if that excuses their throwing it in people's faces. It would be humorous if they weren't so annoying and destructive.

~sonrouge Jul 11, 2012

Just be sure you're not doing the same thing.

~Mephistophilez Jul 11, 2012 Traditional Artist

Uh, ok. How can I do the same thing when I'm not religious?
