An anger jew he is not.

    I have never done a post about atheism, but it should be no secret that I am one. My take on theology usually has a negligible impact on how I interpret the world. On this occasion, however, the atheism of All-My-Bs must come to fruition in full, if my comments are to make sense. Now, on to the meat of the matter
    Some of you may have seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51-EJObUt-o. This hit a raw nerve with me. Listen to the rabbi’s rhetoric. Atheists are “Parasites”, benefiting from the fruits of a religious construct. He goes on as if to say “This is OUR America, how dare you act contrary to my idea of reality!” At this point I would like to address Daniel Lapin directly. I know he will never read this, but I don’t care.
    Alright look dick head, Here are a few concepts you might not have considered:
Most Atheists de-converted from a religion. Thats right, some people are actually unhappy with religion. The only positive correlation between deep religious faith and quality of life is the one you fabricated. What do you say to the children whose parents think prayer is an effective alternative to medical treatment. Statistically speaking “Your fucked” is about the most accurate you can get. Or if you prefer a more demonstrable example, how do you explain the religious justification for marginalizing and oppressing numerous groups of people. When you say “enhancing of life” by faith, why do I get the feeling you mean “enhancing quality of life for ME and MY people.” Get with the melting pot mother fucker.
    I would like to add a disclaimer for my religious readers (if you are indeed still reading at this point). I acknowledge that faith comes in many nuances, and that religion can be a force for good. I don’t hate religion or religious people. My issue with religion is strictly when it is used as a political force. In the immortal words of youtube[.com]’s FightingAtheist: actions are more important then believes.
