As far as fundie websites are concerned, what I am about to introduce to you will seriously lower your IQ significantly..........so be warned........
Society For the Practical Establishment and Perpetuation of The Ten Commandments
As strange as the title of the website sounds, what really irks me is the implication of practicality in an utterly unenforceable treatise as archaic and ridiculous as a tyrannosaurus enjoying cucumbers in the Antarctic.
According to the site owner, Robert T. Lee: " It appears as if it is the mark of nobility, decorousness and civicness for a people, society or nation to make laws by which to govern themselves. But a proper assessment of such an undertaking reveals just the opposite: it is the mark of heathenism. Contrary to what is generally thought, no nation or people should be in the business of endeavoring to govern themselves."
According to Robert, no Constitution, other than the Ten Commandments, matches to the standards of human governance, and if anything else, he insinuates that only the Ten Commandments should be the basis of any civil rule in the US: "His righteous Laws are the only ones which have ever and will ever exist that can definitely work for the total good of every society. Any people who reject His most perfect and holy Laws, that is, the TEN COMMANDMENTS, do so to both their corporeal destruction and eternal damnation."
Pure fundism indeed. And to round off such scary, on-the-ball religious theocracy, he even has a nice fundy-sounding pledge to mimic the pledge of Allegiance!
I pledge allegiance to the one
and only true God - God the
Father, God the Son and
God the Holy Spirit - and to
His heavenly Kingdom - to
love the Lord God with all
my mind, soul and strength,
and to love my worthy
neighbor, regardless of who
he or she may be, as I
should rightly love myself. I
therefore pledge to:
Have no other god besides
the true God; I will not make
for myself an idol of any
likeness of anything in the
heavens, on the earth or in
hell; I will not take the
name of the Lord God in
vain; I will remember a day
out of each week to keep
it holy unto the Lord; I
will honor my father and
mother; I will not murder;
I will not commit adultery;
I will not steal; I will not
tell a lie against or for any
person in any manner; I
will not covet, but will be
content with my bare
necessities.
If this moron has his way, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and just about anyone who practices a religion other than Christianity will not be able to live under the umbrella of LEE'S CONSTITUTION!Of course, his vehemence for the ungodly extends far beyond the realms of government. In a bid to reach out to the infidel, he resorts to his rather infantile, brutish banter of atheist bashing that any intelligent reader will not help but notice that this is not the work of a sane, intelligent being (A Martian would probably clobber him to death with a club.....)

ATHEISM A DISEASE????
Atrocious English aside, the "Man is Manmade" ward sounds like an awful oxymoron: How does man maketh a Man? Oh yes, the wonders of vitro-fertilization! Shouldn't the ward be a celebration of the prowess of Science, than be a isolation ward for those "sicko atheists"???
In sum, Lee offers nothing more than an elixir for the "patient". If this was a biology class, I wonder if the "Teacher" would have allowed for an autopsy of the Atheist corpse. He might just just discover the intricate wirings of the atheist brain - a more evolved version of the human brain than those mash-mellows of the inferior fundie types.
The Atheist Killer????
Proving The Negative?
As far as philosophy has expounded (and science has interpreted): You can't prove something that is non-existent. Right and wrong are polarized values that do not apply on things that do not exist.
Perhaps Mr Lee can share with us about proving that Cosmic Mc Muffins, Flying Spaghetti Monsters and the Invisible Pink Unicorns do not exist. If he fails in his endeavor, I may simply draw the conclusion that they do exist in our heavenly realms! A splendid idea it would be, except that no man with his intellectual and rational faculties intact would ever sprout such utter nonsense.
Yeah, I tried to go through this bullshit site without vomiting. Good thing I have a strong stomach. Alas, I had to turn away as I could tell this guy was completely off his rocker. A true fundie. The very sad thing is he claims to be an ex-atheist.
ReplyDeleteHa! The Bob (pyramidhead) meme doth travels (Cosmic McMuffin). I anticipate evil laughter from that quarter.
sheep....And yes I'm laughing my ass off. What a bunch of morons!
ReplyDeleteBeast, I have a question. How does a person go from being an atheist into adulthood and then one day they find jebus behind the couch? :) A serious question, any ideas? Or, any ideas, from the religious people?
ReplyDeletetina "How does a person go from being an atheist into adulthood and then one day they find jebus behind the couch?"
ReplyDeleteI assume that it's one or more of the following:
1. Oh my God, I'm going to die!
2. Boy, things sure are complicated!
3. I can't believe that I didn't just get hit by that bus.
4. My new baby is a miracle.
5. Oh, God...let it be benign.
Hey Modusoperandi you forget the frontal lovotomy. That all help in finding god. Or you could use a metal detector.
ReplyDeleteTina:
ReplyDeleteI honestly have no answer to your question, although a decent speculation will be that a recently deconverted atheist may feel fear and insecurity caused by the void left by the abandonment of religion.

If someone was particularly weak-minded or uneducated enough a little guilt trip from family could go a long way.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, there's lots of stuff that happens and lots that people do that I don't understand, so i can't begin to imagine why they would, but maybe they had, somewhere deep in their sole (whoops, not their shoe, I mean their soul),a hankerin' for something. They couldn't quite understand what was missing and geez, there sure is a lot out there they couldn't fathom, so, as so many others have done, when all else failed an irrational belief in something totally fictitious and ridiculous gave them "answers" to everything.
ReplyDeletetina "How does a person go from being an atheist into adulthood and then one day they find jebus behind the couch?"
ReplyDeleteI now suspect some that join a church and declare themselves as a Christian in their adulthood are not really believers in any way. Some just join up cos' there's some benefit in it for them. On top of that, they see no reason to reject the religion out of hand, so they just continue to accept it in ignorance.
For example, I know this couple who divorced, and later the wife joined a church. Later, the husband wanted to reconcile, so he joined her church as well, which became swell for him, cos' now he can now claim that things got alright because of Jebus. All praise!
Also, I think leaders of megachurches are all just atheists in it for the money.
I could only scan a couple of pages before I started getting really angry.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I've just thought: They might find us as infuriating as we find them... Doesn't mean I can understand a word they say though... Nutter.
