Six die because church says STOP HIV treatment

[Creed of Heresy]

I think that was what I was alluding to Creed.

At times like this a saying "My Goddess is much kinder to the plight of human suffering" come to mind. And Yes one does get rather "caught up" emotionally in the horror of it all. Still getting over that stoning and it was a fucking movie about a true story, another statement "you have to learn to protect your heart" comes to mind and I am thinking that this is what is predominant here. We cannot help these persons who have taken the "glory road to jeebus" ...what we CAN do is point out accusingly to the uncaring and callous use of religion that KILLED these vulnerable people whilst claiming to "CARE" for the disenfranchised. Hypocrisy at it's best is what religion is and always has been.

Fuckin' right. There ARE gonna be...CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS coughcoughGodsChildcough who'll sit there and defend their religion's moral hypocrisy to the last breath. Irredeemable individuals, who understand the bigotry, sexism, tyranny, repression, rape, slavery, and hate their religion condones and yet defend it...the most morally corrupt individuals who I fail to reconcile as human beings. We call these individuals fundamentalists and they wear the title like a badge of honor. Not unlike how nazi supporters prior and during WWII wore swastikas like a badge of honor. A fitting analogy, by the way, especially given christianity's history with the third reich [IE: Condoning it and only retracting support for it because of the defeat of the Third Reich at the hands of the Allies and the "godless Commie" Russians].

But the rest, the weak? I pity them immensely for being preyed upon by these monolithic, cynical, hypocritical institutions who smile with one face, while with the other they gaze hungrily into the TV, watching the faces of those being stricken by tragedy while thinking gleefully to themselves "more prospective sheep for the flock!"
