They even say that the girl had to die for the sins of the group. Throughout the episode whenever they were accussing one of the group they were sure to show them wearing their crosses.
Sorry for the rant but it's just so noticeable I can't believe I never registered it before
The first breach in my Atheism was fully realizing how much they hate Christians, Christianity, and Jesus. If you think something is dumb and illogical, why spend every single second exclusively talking about it? Because "it's the dominant culture?" Yeah, maybe 70 years ago before every institution became converged.
The 2010 surge in atheism was in response to an attempt by evangelicals to take over the education system and make factually untrue claims - namely young earth creationism. This pushback was necessary and largely successful, most of the prominent evangelical wackos became laughing stocks or were exposed as hypocrites or even criminals.
However, they couldn't leave good well enough alone and Dawkins et al set about dismantling and dismissing all community and spiritual benefits of religion. It quickly became apparent that this left them vulnerable to infection - Atheism+ infiltrated and destroyed the entire community because they had no strong beliefs or unified principles that could be used to expel them.
As they say, tradition is the solution to a problem we have forgotten.
You ever think that perhaps those wildly Extreme Evangelicals were a fringe bunch of wackos that were getting undue attention and power because the Left wanted them front and center to make Christians/Rightwingers/White people look retarded and their "institutions" need to be torn down?
Because the fact that we spent years hearing about the Westboro Baptist Church, despite it barely reaching 3 digit membership at the time and basically consisting of one big extended family total, makes it pretty clear that was the case.
No, you see, when the media creates propaganda demonizing Gamers randomly because some Counterstrike playing autist called one of them a fag once, that's when we notice and care. When it's Christians? Well they deserve it because 20 years ago three of them pushed back publicly against the idea that putting a bunch of monkey skulls in a row immediately proves we spontaneously burst into life from inanimate matter and then graduated from being fish.
Most of these guys are just still mad their grandma or schoolteacher took away their gameboy or Pokemon cards and are still seething from it.
I lost mine too, but because we were gambling with it and I see as an adult why they did that.
Why are you presenting their position like you agree with it? I thought they were "60 IQ, sisterfucking, Jesus-dinosaur-riding-endorsing, toothless biblethumpers" propped up by the media as controlled opposition. Do you agree with the young earth creationists or are they a media invention? Or are you just shapeshifting slime?
