Rumors of God's return are greatly exaggerated »

Posted By Progressive 8 months ago in Religion

On a desk in my school, long ago, some past sixth-former had written four words: "God is dead - Nietzsche", followed by four more: "Nietzsche is dead - God." Even as a juvenile atheist I could see that the idea of the mad German getting his comeuppance from the unbelieved Almighty was funny.

    The "rise" of the religious right is mainly a result of decline in public education standards.

    FTA "It is the domination of the public realm by the private and untestable conviction that is truly repugnant,"

    Having the reigns of power in the hands of the completely delusional is what I find really scary. Those of us capable of rational thought having been giving the bible addled way too much respect, for way too long.

    It's time to stand up and call a spade a spade. Religious pixie twaddle is just that, delusional rantings of the simple minded.

    God is not dead, he's on an extended vacation. If you need any spiritual guidance please contact: Heaven Can Wait, But Can You? at 000-000-000X.

      Fortunately, God doesn´t force anyone to believe in him. It´s the people who do this! Everyone has the right to be an Atheist or a Christian or whatever! Religions always have the germ of fundamentalism in them, but they gave and still give to many believers a deeper sense of life and the motivation for altruistic behaviour. Not religion is the poison, but its abuse and misinterpretation!

      The title needs to read "Rumors of god are greatly exaggerated."

      God's only son, the liberal gay jew jesus, spent his time advocating for the poor and sick, and railing against the authoritarian government. So, the reincarnated Dick Cheney ordered him tortured to death.

      Now, in a nasty turn of events, God's christian zionist army of inbred sister humping hicks is gay bashing, and advocating torture, much like the God's Muslim inbred army of repressed psychopaths.

      God, taking the form of a giant floating Head of Charleton Heston, with booming reverb, will be waiting for you religicons, waiting to cast you into the pit of eternal doom.
