Christianity is under counter-attack
October 5th 2007 06:32
I just read another post bemoaning the perceived "attacks" upon Christianity that the poor faithful must endure day in and day out. I, for one, am attacking Christianity. There, you have my confession. But alas, it is a counter-attack. For myself, and for the countless millions who have died to support the mythology of the Christian god. Don't get me wrong, I don't' believe in any other god either. But it is the Christian incarnation that most draws my ire, because I see them as the most hypocritical, the most usurious, and the most dangerous, in the long run.
The fundamentalist Christian longs for genocide, prays for it. Don't' believe me? Read some excerpts from the "Left Behind" series of books. The books revel in the destruction of non-Christians. Hell, they even made a video game version where the good Christies get to blow the hell out of infidels.
And the group they hate/fear the most? Atheists. They sense in us that we can see their emperor has no clothes, and they cannot stomach the thought. They fear the open mind, the thoughtful process, the scientific approach. That's why they are so adamantly opposed to evolution. In many ways, it is the trump card, the be-all and end-all. If we are just another mammal, we lose any claim to godly superiority. And it scares the hell out of them.
So yes, some of us attack Christianity. But it is in self-defense.

Yes, attacking Christianity is a counter-attack. I have been blasted in some corners of orble recently for my comments that simply ask Christians to mind their own business and not concern themselves with the lives of us non-believers.
I hate this double standard that exist whereby Christians can say anything about us that they please, but we cannot reply for fear of "offending".
Thanks for knowing exactly where I am coming form.
