Damned Christians

[Minimalist]

You are free to create a "Damned Atheist" thread if you like.

The piece of the puzzle you are not grasping, C/L, is that churches always set themselves up as bastions of morality.  Hence the fall is greater.

Ah, that's the thing. I believe they are rising quickly. And because no one knows anything about them, they can't prove they aren't rising quickly. Therefore, they are rising quickly.

I was hoping a theist would have asked :p

Church tells 84-year-old woman she can’t be buried next to husband because she missed services

Darleen Pawelk, 84, had been a member of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church for five decades, but recently stopped attending because she has developed disagreements with the congregation, the station reports. Regardless, she had already paid for the burial plot beside her spouse on church grounds.

“Since you have ignored our efforts to reach you, and have failed to return to your Lord Jesus in the Divine Service to receive from Him the gifts of His Word, and Holy Supper given from God to us that we may have forgiveness and life, you have self-excluded,” the letter reads. “Scripture is clear about those who remain in unrepentance. Your soul is in mortal danger.”

Yes, they relented but only after their letter was posted online.  Can't let anything interfere with the bottom line of the ledger, can you?

Motherfuckers.

Thousands of schools in states across the USA can use taxpayer money to cast doubt on basic science.

A large, publicly funded charter school system in Texas is teaching creationism to its students, Zack Kopplin recently reported in Slate. Creationist teachers don’t even need to be sneaky about it—the Texas state science education standards, as well as recent laws in Louisiana and Tennessee, permit public school teachers to teach “alternatives” to evolution. Meanwhile, in Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Arizona, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, taxpayer money is funding creationist private schools through state tuition voucher or scholarship programs.

'Fundamentalist' Christianity is to blame for crime in America - because the Bible teaches violence and vengeance, claims new book by professor of Criminology

Christianity is to blame for America's high crime rates because its followers believe that the Bible gives God's 'blessing' to violence, a controversial new book claims.
The book, by a professor of criminology, claims that at its core Christian ideology is close to Fascism and is 'criminogenic', meaning that it actually causes crime.
Fundamentalist Christian ideology has been the inspiration for terrorism and figures like radio host Rush Limbaugh are damaging America by helping 'promote vengeance seeking'.

Cellphone footage shows Robert Bruce, a local chapter director for Christian group KLIFE, apparently leading a prayer in the middle of a lunchroom as students stand around him.


Dr. Brian Wilson, the Superintendent, responds: “Our school practice is… we are not going to promote any particular religion. However, we are also not going to inhibit that religion either,”

I have a question, what's the point of only posting this type of thing when it's a theist that does it?

People who molest children are people who are attracted to children. This has nothing to do with Christianity.

*my bold*

Bollocks. Christianity makes vast claims about moral uprightness and spiritual uplift. When these kinds of acts are perpetrated by the "flock" you should expect higher scrutiny and publicity. 

Without a statement from the man saying otherwise, I can only assume he's a Christian given his past testimony. Also; given his occupation and evident reputation, I don't think it's a stretch by any means to say that it played a large role in his life. That being the case, one would imagine that the tenets of his faith, if not his god (since Christians, of course, hold him to be real), would have prevented his actions. They didn't, and the fact that they didn't offers a myriad of inquiries to the onlooker.

I just wonder how it would make some of you feel if you knew of Christian forums starting threads titled "Damned Atheists," where they'd just post news stories of every time a non believer does something bad... Ignoring every time they do something good, of course. Just the bad stuff.  

It's like, "Seeeeeeee???? Atheists are BAD!! WE are the good guys here!"

...This is no different. Opposite side of the same coin. Congratulations.

Go for it. I can't imagine that it would hold much water in comparison what with the moral individuality of atheists and the overarching dogma that Christians supposedly adhere to.

U.S. has spent $1.3 billion in Africa teaching abstinence in order to prevent the spread of AIDS as of one year ago, and it has yet to change sexual behavior
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/27/health...phone&_r=0

Here's one woman's account of forcefully attending those abstinence classes in US:

...a sarcastic guy in his 40s, opened class one day with a single statement: "Ladies, everything can be avoided if you'll just keep your legs closed." Then he turned the class over to two strangers for the rest of the week, a man and a woman from a sex education organization now called Life Choices.

my friends and I knew the consequences of sex: ruined reputations, questioned faith, and the most unthinkable of all, pregnancy. We had heard the whispering in the hallways; we had read the accusations scribbled on the bathroom stalls.

One day during the weeklong sex ed class, the female instructor made a show of tearing a long piece of tape from a dispenser.  she handed it to the girl in the first row and told her to attach it to her skin and pull it off. then the piece of tape was passed around for each of us to follow suit. Once the tape had collected bits of each of us, the instructor took it back and pinched it between her thumb and index finger. "See how dirty this piece of tape is?" she said. "It's basically trash." This tape, she said, could never bond well enough to stick to anything, especially not another dirty piece of tape. She pressed two fresh pieces together and made a show of her inability to separate them.
