Abortion foe urges ‘Burn in Hell’ effigies of Pelosi, Reid
WASHINGTON (AP) — Anti-abortion activist Randall Terry is calling on people to burn effigies of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid this Halloween, as part of a “Burn in Hell” video contest to protest the health care legislation in Congress. Terry, founder of Operation Rescue, said Tuesday that the contest serves as a political and spiritual statement that “gives people a chance to peacefully vent their rage.” “If Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid force us to pay for child killing and they die unrepentant, they will burn in hell for this,” Terry said in a telephone interview. [...] A YouTube video of the contest instructions shows how to print a poster of Reid and Pelosi and construct a stand for it. The clip shows a person dousing the Democratic leaders’ images with flammable liquid. The next scene shows their picture going up in flames. People are then encouraged to take pictures, record and submit online the footage of their Oct. 31 protests. “No, this is not a threat to their body,” an unidentified man says in the instructional video, “but it is a threat to their soul.”
Wow. You know, when you look back to that Rev. Dipshit who was praying to God to strike Obama down with a heart attack (or something, I can’t remember), xianity really comes into focus…
Praise Be! Glory!

Xianity is a violent religion, based on violence from beginning to end. They will say that burning an effigy isn’t murder…but, it is based on murderous thoughts and desires. They say they are pro-life but can’t wait for their super imaginary hit man to cause others misery and suffering in some imaginary afterlife. The desire is still there which I have told some fundies that is just as bad as doing it themselves. And burning an effigy with that kind of desire to see someone’s demise is as bad as burning the person for real.

Religion. Sure brings out the best in folk, don’t it?

^ Exactly, Star.
Randall Terry, IMO, has to be one of the most mentally vicious, deranged, psycho fucktards on the planet. He’s very close to being on the same level as the Islamic terrorists; except he’s way too egotistical and chicken-shit(?) to take himself out. Add to that the obvious stupidity of not realizing he’s actually worshiping, in essence, the all-time winner of the World’s abortion award…that’d be the imaginary, psychopathically vicious, Abrahamic god…
ala the ever on-going billions of miscarriages.
Maybe it’s time for us atheists and freethinkers to start mocking his type by burning a few effigies, ourselves?
On second thought…I guess not; that’d just be imitating their vicious, ultra-fucktard, fundie stupidity.
Christianity really is…as is easily demonstrated, I think, by all the Internet psycho babble…an officially unrecognized psychotic belief system.
Terry, along with so many other world class psychos, remind me…a long ago EX-believer…of just how long the human race has been marginally “Nuts”. It’s amazing that we’ve even survived this long considering the almost complete dearth of actual historical rationality.
To quote “Arthur” from the Python’s “Grail” flick:
“…tis a silly place!” (cue coconut shell hoof beats?)
[Of course, unlike that scene, Earth is not "only a model"...it's painfully real!]
As per usual; I can’t pass up an opportunity to revisit the Python genius for poking at so much religious stupidity.
[Besides...a little humor is always welcome?]
I love this scene for its total silliness and very compact bunch of pokes at man’s silly beliefs…

Ah yes. Randall Terry. A man who incites other people to violence and then quickly distances himself from them when they finally commit the violence he demands. I’m sure that if some Operation Rescue person were to take a potshot at Pelosi or Reid he’d disown them as quickly as he disowned Scott Roeder after he took Terry’s words to heart and gave Terry the violence he demanded.
I disagree with ChuckA – Terry is almost exactly like his counterparts on the Islamic terrorism side of the fence. Because he’s not analogous to a suicide bomber like Scott Roeder – he’s one of the imams who tell the bombers that they’re going to see great rewards in heaven for the atrocities they commit here on Earth. The only difference between Terry and those imams is that Terry lives in a society where he’s forced to distance himself from his followers when they actually do what he demands or he’d face legal penalties.

This should be a reminder of the first question we must ask if we ever find life on another planet. The question: “Do you have a religion or do you believe in a supernatural being?” This probably will be the same question asked of us if we are discovered by a more advanced aliens. The reason they will ask is obvious, if they are more intelligent, they are already familiar with what supernatural belief can do to a species. So they will ask before they press the button to annihilate us and if the answer comes back,” yes.” We are all gone!

Now, that last line is what really bothers me. “No, this is not a threat to their body,” an unidentified man says in the instructional video, “but it is a threat to their soul.”
Doesn’t that make it more vicious? More personal? Who do these people think they are, threatening the “everlasting souls” of people they don’t even know? They’re BURNING EFFIGIES of people, for what? There’s something deeply wrong with this. I’d have to cry if I weren’t laughing at the farce of it all.

Xianofacists! Religion is not about god, it is about power, control. The xianofacist agenda (no contraceptives, no condoms, no abortions, no homosexuals, no criticism, endless prohibitions) is all a campaign to increase misery, which makes sense when you realize that misery is the best recruiter for religion.

Ah, nothing like white-washing hatred with the shiney veneer of righteous indignation!
“The only difference between Terry and those imams is that Terry lives in a society where he’s forced to distance himself from his followers when they actually do what he demands or he’d face legal penalties.”
Couldn’t agree with this more, Jer. I’ve heard fundies make the argument that their made-up bullshit is superior to the made up ofal of Islam because xtians in the west don’t foment violence. One look at the non-sense outlined in this post (as well as their bloody bibble and the equally grissly history of the xtian church) makes it evident that it isn’t characteristics of restraint and virtue inherent to their mythology that proscribes peace on the part of xtians–it’s the secular law of the land with a clear separation of church and state that protects us from the baser acts of humans.
BTW–Aren’t Randall Terry’s sheeple wasting their time? I was under the impression that the Democowards had already backed down from a federally funded healthcare plan that would cover abortion services.

How many times do we have to point out that the final chapter of Leviticus assigns a valueless status to children under a month old? According to the Abramic god, you can do whatever you want to a child one month and under and not expect to even pay financial penalties for your actions.
As for choosing burning, of all things, for this spiritual warfare, doesn’t this cause an uncomfortable parallel to the witch hunts of the Dark Ages? Where was the Christian pro-life attitude then?

I recommend kid-napping Randal Terry and setting him on fire!

The funny thing is if you don’t believe that there is heaven you should want unborn children to live. It’s their only chance of ever existing.

It is not our decision, CC…it is the decision of the woman who is impregnated. It’s her uterus and not anyone else’s.
