Spider-
Wanna explain to me my own double standards? Please do. I’m actually sort of confused.
How can you view abortion as anything BUT killing infants? That’s ALL it is. Again, sure put whatever fancy name you want on it but it all comes down to the same thing. Mabye i need to explain the procedure to you? Gee, I love when people twist my words. True Christian isn’t defined as “One who’s okay with obscene art exhibits as long as they don’t have to go”. I clearly stated that its your right to go look at that “Art”. I don’t find it to be right but like I said i havnt seen any true christian boycotting. When i say this i mean, not the crazy guy outside screaming “End of the world! Accept Jesus!!!”

“But i dont see anyone going around saying “ARREST SOMEONE THEY SUPPORT KILLING BABIES.”” No, but you surely see them picketing abortion clinics and saying far worse things. Someone has even taken the initiative to kill a doctor who performed abortions. Oh, we should be so lucky that arrest would be the worst they called for. No, the point isn’t whether they’re saying “arrest them” or “off with their heads” – the point is that they’re out there, like you, making incredible and unqualified accusations of “baby killing” or being immoral or waging a war on christmas, but then crying persecution if anyone suggests they keep their religion out of schools or government. Free speech is a two way street, and isn’t really complete without secularism.

And please don’t insult our intelligence with the True Christian schtick. The people who boycott or try to block things on moralistic grounds consider themselves True Christians, and think anyone who disagrees can’t really be a True Christian. How do you define a True Christian? One who’s okay with obscene art exhibits as long as they don’t have to go?

As for the comic. just wow. You say we as Christians are blowing things out of proportion and you post that? Baby killing is basically what pro-choice and pro-abortion supports. Call it whatever fancy name you want it all comes down to killing infants. But i dont see anyone going around saying “ARREST SOMEONE THEY SUPPORT KILLING BABIES.”

And as for the second slide i can say one thing. It was Adam and EVE not Adam and STEVE. Yea Gay and Lesbianism is wrong, but somehow it has gotten the whole “being gay or lesbian is cool now”. How did that happen?

Third slide…If you want to flame yourselves and call yourselves agents of Satan go ahead. If you want the truth we don’t hate you or despise you. We pray for you. Yea you won’t appreciate it but it’s kind of like asking that God help you And God in schools and government? Hasn’t he always been there? Oh wait i already made this arguement in another silly little blog.

Slide 4…You wanna go look at “obscene art” thats your choice. Yea it’s wrong but I dont see any true Christians boycotting or rebelling against them. Notice i said TRUE Christians.

Slide 4…And you have that right, however you choose to exercise it. You don’t see us out on the street killing Muslims or Jews do you? And don’t EVEN think about bringing up the Crusades because you will loose that arguement against me aswell. But really feel free to email me. nickfaith@gmail.com

Slide 5… People like this are weak and sensitive and don’t have a good understanding of God. Sadly, aparently that is the sterotypical christian nowadays. tsk tsk.

Oh, one more thing, do you have any actual criticism of what’s being stated in the cartoon?

Fighting is necessary when one or more threaten your freedom or someone you love (be it family, friend, country, humanity). And there is nothing wrong with a “Militant Atheism” so long as they are only fighting when theists try and take away the freedom to their private lives. The crusades were different in that atheists were killed because they believed something different. A fight by Militant Atheist’s would not be for the purpose of ‘detoxicating’ but rather removing the hand from our throats.

Would the world be better without religion? Yes, but not at the cost of losing freedom. It should be as it always should have been: do what you will with yourself, but not with me. As Ayn Rand spoke so eloquently:

“Man is niether to be obeyed nor to be commanded.”

If this boundary is crossed, fighting is the only hope to regain freedom.

Nice article. It approaches the subject with grace (slightly too much, maybe, but at least honestly)
