The takeaway, then, is that Ingraham’s rants (and the tired taunts of the oxymoronic childish Curmudgeon on this site) are simply the death screams of a vanishing ignorance. Annie Gaylor’s tactic was the right one: She politely stated the truth, and never allowed herself to descend to the level of her interviewer.

Curmudgeon-at-large

For the entire blog we say THANK YOU. You self-appointed educators are a bore. I am quite well informed. thanks

Does that imply when the US has enough of the atheist BS it would be OK to throw atheist to the lions?

You changed the subject. So you approve the gulags against Christians and anyone who does not follow the state? You atheist always like to point at some else.

“refer to Christianity as a cult because the shoe fits.”

The last of a stupid atheist assumptions. You make an assumption anyone who is not an atheist is a Christian. If a definition is a requirement, probably a deist. I don’t have the time to go through American history with you but you will find it prominent through US history. I assume all atheist are militant loud mouth arrogant blow hards, Turns out I am right.

I don’t have the energy, time or desire to go through the entire history of pagan Europe with you, but apparently need to point out that the supposed witches weren’t the only victims of your spiritual ancestors, Just about anyone that didn’t fit into some very narrow categories was. Never mind the more specific ones (the list of massacres is astonishingly long) and the oppression. I can’t fathom how anyone could study any history and then stand up and proudly proclaim membership to the church. It would take someone with no sense of honor.

And maybe you should try to understand just why Rome finally had enough of early Christian BS and finally resorted to the show in the forum. It wasn’t a light decision, or the first choice. Of course I’m not condoning their primitive method of dealing with people that were trying to completely take over their society and overturn all traditions (including religious inclusion, ironically).

Gulags again. Puhleeeease….Christians refer to these in a false and deliberately misleading way. And it in no way excuses the horrors wrought by your cult of ignorance. And it’s pretty rich for a Christian to yell gulag, after centuries of persecuting everyone else, especially Jews, and all because of a religion based on myth and storytelling.

Christians are indeed losing power, DQ – that is hardly a “precious” comment, no matter how you try to belittle the point. Over the past several hundred years, secular values have been fought for, and only been hard won by opposing the church and its drooling followers. It is, in fact, secular and human values that most Christians are still against today.

I refer to Christianity as a cult because the shoe fits. Sure, it’s been around for a long time, but all the other nasty little elements are there in full view for all of us outsiders to see.
It’s not just Easter Bunnies, Santa, Nativity Plays and Sunday School colouring books. Even your charitable work, nice as that can be, has serious strings attached.

Here’s the second line in your comment.

“BTW, Al Gore is fat and he is a hypocrite and a liar and refuses to debate.”

I’m gonna go drink some eggnog, be merry and laugh at how stupid you are for calling other people angry when you’re such a bundle of rage. Merry Christmas dummy!

Witches were burned, not atheist. Miss the Gulags AntiRoss? I bet you would love to put Christians back in the gulags or throw them to the lions. Don’t you feel just a little ridiculous playing the emotion card.

Christians are losing their power over you? That is precious, I’m glad to hear they have let you out of the jails and basements. Stop being paranoid.

My cult? What cult am I in AntiRoss? I wasn’t even aware we were boys…..I sense bitterness…..

Atheist are free to stay. Get use to Christmas. Its here, it will not go away so just enjoy it and stop being so angry. You spend all year being angry, this is a time to be at peace. Why do you get so upset with the religious? You guys are worse than they are at telling people how to think and live. Read your own posts! Your DONT KNOW if there is a God or not so stop claiming you do.

And no I am not Christian so don’t start with your ASS-umptions you knuckleheads but I love Christmas.

Truett: Freedom of religion also includes freedom to NOT believe. Get used to it. You people just hate the fact that we are speaking up.

Sorry, but we are not going away.
