The Fear Card

RE: The Fear Card
(January 10, 2012 at 2:12 pm)Doubting Thomas Wrote: The "God doesn't want anyone to go to hell" is just something stupid that Christians invented because they're uncomfortable with the idea of an all-good, loving god who loves everyone sending some of those people to hell to burn for eternity. They totally ignore their own dogma that God is the creator of the entire universe, Heaven, Hell, and everything. Not to mention the fact that if he's all-powerful, he could abolish hell and make everyone go to heaven, or at least not torture the "bad" people.

Well, christians tend to avoid the whole "god is a murderous genocidal bastard" portions of the bible as well - especially when they talk about the story of Noah.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
