Rejecting the false theology of pacifistic patsyhood
24 November 2004 by RonI always have mixed feelings when I post something about the fringe wackies of the Xian world. On the one hand, there’s the pleasure of making fun of them. On the other, it opens up the door for the smug “But I’m not like that” response for “enlightened” Xians. It’s like making fun of Pat Robertson: I’ll do it, but it’s usually just too easy, and seems to let the center of Xianity off the hook.
But in the end, funny is funny. In that spirit, I give you The Christian’s Guide to Small Arms, “developed in response to the fact that most American Christians have fallen into ignorance concerning the responsibilities and skills required of the Christian freeman… a primer for the Christian who is beginning to reject the false theology that requires him to be a pacifistic patsy in the face of heathen hordes.” This is wack enough to be a fake; if it is a fake, hats off. It has the smell of verisimilitude, right down to the bad 90’s-style frame-based construction.mp3 above beyondole ole mp3 1130abused mp3 majestyaccompaniment mp3 operaacceptence different mp3law jude mp3 abroad semestercadabra mp3 abraclique 116 carry mp3 mine Map

We are all entitled to think and believe as we please. That is what makes this country so great. However, if your thinking is correct, then you and I have nothing to worry about. Then again, if I am right, I still have nothing to worry about but you have everything to worry about. When people try to rationalize an infinite being with their finite minds, it just seems impossible that a superior being that created us could exist. Of course, there is the problem of just where such complicated creatures such as we came from. In the end, only our death will reveal all to us. You certainly have some compelling arguments, but I just cannot take the chance that you are wrong after all. Maybe it is the fear of eternal damnation that drives us to believe, but the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. So let us all enjoy life and let death decide just which belief is the correct one.

GW - First of all, a person cannot force themselves to believe something by a simple flick of a switch. Belief is not a matter of choice, but of conviction based on compelling evidence. I have found no compelling evidence for the existence of invisible supernatural entities of any sort, therefore I cannot accept any of today’s religions as anything other than tomorrow’s mythology.
People die…all things die. Not one thing in this universe lasts and most humans just cannot accept this. Therefore they create a fantasy in their imaginations to delude themselves to lessen the reality of their inability to escape the unavoidable cycle of life and death.
Of course, there is the problem of just where such complicated creatures such as we came from.
Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean a sky daddy did it. That reasoning is an easy made-up answer, but also lazy and childish.

You know something, even if, by some astronomically teeny chance, you’re right, I wouldn’t give such a pathetic “infinite being” the satisfaction of worshipping it. Create me just to blame me for someone else’s sin, and live in eternal fear of damnation, and then you want me to worship you? Fuck you.
