Here's the latest from the religious war theatres of the absurd...
Oh, the horror I felt when I first heard about this (tongue firmly in cheek). I just had to warn churchgoers that as they slide into the pews this week and reach for the hymnals, be careful, they might be booby-trapped and I don't mean the kind of booby-traps you'll encounter at Hooters. These are much more dangerous if the contents of one should happen to explode in your brain.
.................. "Operation Easter Sanity" has begun. ................
Using its documentary THE GOD WHO WASN'T THERE as the chief weapon, Beyond Belief Media is covertly planting DVDs of the film in churches throughout the United States. The popular movie, currently ranked #1 on Amazon.com's independent documentaries list, is critical of the irrational beliefs of Christians and asserts that Jesus Christ did not exist.
A total of 666 DVDs will be hidden like "Easter eggs" in sanctuaries, church yards and other holy areas by Beyond Belief Media's national team of volunteers. The DVDs will be slipped into hymnals and other locations where they are likely to be discovered by unsuspecting worshippers.
Flyers explaining the will be planted by undercover operatives among actual Easter eggs at churches holding egg hunts on Easter Sunday.
"People go to churches to hide from the truth," explained Beyond Belief Media president Brian Flemming, a former Christian fundamentalist. "At no time is this more apparent than Easter, when Christians get together to convince each other that a man died, stayed dead three days, rose from the dead and then flew into the air above the clouds.
"Our nonviolent campaign sends the message that nowhere in the country is safe from the truth. Wherever Christian leaders are indoctrinating children with 2000-year-old fairy tales, the truth may just find its way there.
"Our 'War on Easter' is of course completely without violence of any kind. Christians believe that beating a man to a pulp and nailing him to a cross somehow solves all the world's problems. Beyond Belief does not."
(my emphasis)
Well, I really don't think a guerrilla insurgency being run by this wacky band of atheist merry pranksters on the
highway to hell is exactly the kind of "
War on Christians"
the theocratic right was screaming about last week, but I'm sure they'll take it and run with it anyhow.
For those wanting the latest updates complete with pictures about operations from the battlefields of the "War on Easter" go >>> here.
Meanwhile here's the latest update from that other religious war out there that's raging, you know the one... it's the uncivil "War BY Christians".
... Oppressed Christian homobigots fight for their rights to be intolerant ...
So, as you can see the insanity continues... when will it end? All this needless strife, suffering and horror being done in God's name... Lord help us ALL.
Meanwhile, over at Bill O'Reilly's place, this kind of nonsense also continues.
