Pastor Compares Atheists to Sex Offenders.

[leo-rcc]

Ed Brayton notes over at Dispatches from the Culture War that internet pastor Mike Stahl has come up with an interesting idea to assist Christians in day-to-day life. According to Stahl, the nation should set up an “Atheist Registry” in order to provide an updated list of anyone who is a “self-proclaimed atheist,” just as you would do for people convicted of sex crimes or associating with terrorist groups.

If that's true and he goes through with it, people need to call the ACLU. Utter bullshit.

I have to add that frightens me and pisses me off.

I don't know whether to laugh at its absurdity or get angry in utter disbelief!

I think laugh will be the healthier option for now

I am deliberately withholding comments for now. I need a moment for this to sink in.

Pretty soon we'll have to wear A's sewn to our clothes so we can easily be identified in public.

This is making me a bit dizzy...

Morons like this shouldn't be allowed to hold any influence over anyone.

Hey, it worked for Emma Stone in Easy A. That shit was HOT.

Considering the number of preachers who have been accused or convicted of rape going across The_Skeptic's facebook newsfeed, I don't think atheists are the ones who need to be marked.

And descending from a people who long had to wear some sort of identifying mark so that people would know who they were, to Stahl I say...

Fortunately, at least it seems like Stahl doesn't have the clout to make his ideas a reality.

P.S., there's one line that really interests me:
whose hearts are as hard as Pharaoh’s.

Maybe it would do these people some good to re-read the exodus story and learn just who hardened his heart in the first place:

Exodus 4:21
And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

Exodus 7:3
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

Exodus 7:13
And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

Exodus 9:12
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.

Exodus 10:1
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:

Exodus 10:20
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.

Exodus 10:27
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.

Exodus 11:10
And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

Exodus 14:4
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD.

Exodus 14:8
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel

Exodus 14:17
I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour.

But somebody who does might try to pick up where leaves off.

I have one and proudly wear it!
