Yep, the pastor is an asshole.
What really pisses me off about people like that, and the poisonous views that they promote, is the denigration of life. Christianity is anti-life, and the asshole pastor's letter shows that in stark relief.
For according to the christians, life is just a prelude to the hereafter, and without the hereafter life is meaningless- its a pale reflection of the joys of heaven. Just as love is a pale reflection of divine love. And justice is a pale reflection of divine justice. And knowledge is a pale reflection of divine knowledge.
Fuck that.
Life is important and beautiful now- lets live it to the full. Love is important and beautiful now- and I mean human love between humans, visceral love that means something, love that burns. Justice is important now- lets fight for it against the powers that be. Knowledge is important now- lets seek it out through our science, our greatest intellectual achievement.
And lets see those who denigrate our lived experience for what they are- ignorant, shallow and gravely deluded.

He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
