With a God like Him, who needs enemies?

Look, God does not care. God does not care about you, your family, your community, your nation, your culture, or even this planet. Since God does not care about such things it follows out of necessity that God would also give a frog's fat tush about offering any kind of protection to anyone, regardless of whether or not such an individual believes in God to begin with.

Life is what it is, right? We are conceived, born, live a bit, and then die. Everyone dies eventually. Everyone. This fact along with the reality of people who die far too early in their lives, children being murdered, people starving people, people blowing each other up, babies born with severe maladies and deformities, and so on and so forth, such things are great indicators that some great, invisible, all-powerful divine entity (assuming there is such an entity) gives a good goddamn about anyone or anything. Come to think of it, maybe God's give a damn is busted...just like in that song by Jodee Messina where she more or less says that she would like to give a damn but her give-a-damn is busted.

I suppose one of the biggest issues I have with the ridiculous Christian assertion that God cares for and protects Man are some of the verses in the Bible itself, terrible verses of God commanding genocide, allowing rape and incest, commanding burglary, and time after time and again exhibiting an extreme disregard and disrespect for human life. God is a horrible being in every way imaginable, especially when it comes to rendering punishment which more often than not punishes EVERYONE and not just the individual who does something displeasing to God.

Let's take a peek at some videos, shall we?

Who could have ever guessed that God gives so much consideration to politics and policy? A bigger question is why would God remove protection from people who are not even the ones who are FOR abortion? What is the deal with punishing everyone? Why would this great and all-powerful divine being who cares so very much for all of humanity and this nation punish the entire nation by removing His protection? Not all of the freaking people here agree with abortion, so why should their protection be removed? Why would they have to pay for someone else's terrible deed or someone else's disobedience toward God??

This guy is right. Why would some kids be protected by God and some not be protected?

Well, this would be a great way to prove God exists, right? I mean, if you believe in Him then according to His word you can drink poison and pick up snakes and He will rescue/be with you, correct? So DO IT, oh ye believers. Do it. Drink some arsenic or hollyhock or pick up a viper or rattlesnake. You could prove God with one swoop. But the catch is that ALL who drink the poison and pick up the snakes have to be saved. There can be none of this God saving these five or six or seven people and letting another five or six people die from the snake's venom or of the arsenic sandwich they ingested.

What have we here but some fine examples of God being protective of His believers/people. NICE.

Ohhhh yeahhhh. We are here in this mega gargantuan universe where for some reason or other a great God cares specifically for humankind...screw all other planets and whatever life may be upon them.

I like this video because, simply put, it is beautiful. Just...beautiful. Yet, God (at least the God of religion) has dick to do with anything pertaining to this beauty. Beauty exists outside of religion. In fact, I would say that in many cases religion has worked purposely and feverishly to destroy many of the things and people around us that are beautiful. "God doesn't make mistakes" sounds nice, but in reality it is nothing more than the staunchly religious trying to explain away the idea that if God was so ever loving perfect babies would not be born with Down's. It is just another way to explain away the utter imperfection and incompetence of God Almighty.

This is excellent!

Sooooo...when people don't get into trouble for the bad things they do it is simply God being gracious? Huh. Interesting. I would have thought it had nothing to do with grace and everything to do with having an imbalanced nature and process of dealing with the consequences of actions that are frowned upon either by God or men. Well, that or God does not give a damn.

Oh no no no. No. You cannot try to answer this question by trying to say there is a difference between God before He became Jesus and the God of the New Testament. Ooohhhhhhh no! Your own damn Bible says God is the same today as He was yesterday and evermore. Your own Bible says God is unchanging and has always existed. Remember in Genesis when God creates Man, God says, "Let US make man in our image and after our likeness." Thus are the holes poked into your answer. All of the expressions of God always existed and so the idea that the so-called incarnation of God to Man through Jesus Christ is what changed things up just will not wash.

You Have GOT To Be Kidding

Christianity's Love Affair with Insanity

Lovely. This mother is teaching her child the finer art of manipulating facts, distorting the truth, and misrepresenting Creation as any kind of valid, logic-based, scientifically-based theory on how the universe and everything in it came to be. Making things worse, she says that this Nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values and the nation is going down the tubes because of the removal of prayer from schools. What do you say to something like this? How can you find a way to show parents who teach their kids like this that they are damaging the critical thinking skills of their children, that taking idiocy and presenting such as truth is NOT conducive to healthy development in many ways?

This is disturbing. These people are taking lies and misinterpretations and presenting such to these little children, little children who are trusting everything that they are hearing from their teachers.

I grew up under many of the very same limitations mentioned here in this video. It was very difficult growing up with these types of limitations and fears bombarding me every single day. I was often singled out by teachers when I went to public school because they were told I could not participate in certain holiday crafts due to religious beliefs. It was horribly demeaning to be the one little kid all by herself in the classroom while all of the other little kids were happily cutting out decorations to paste on a paper Christmas tree.

You're kidding me, right?

What the f*ck? This is so highly inappropriate I do not know where to begin.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDkgIsAGpdU

This is disgusting and hateful rhetoric spewing from the mouth of a man who is supposed to be leading people to the love and grace of God. This is utterly abominable behavior. If you want to believe in God power to you, but you gotta be kidding me if you want to believe that God/Jesus would actually encourage this behavior or encourage the suggestion of putting gays and lesbians behind electrified fences.

Is this something Jesus would do or recommend doing?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l9zHxju03Q

A pastor did this to his son? His son? Oh dear God. Dear dear God. And to think these people who behave in such a hateful manner truly believe they are doing God's work/bidding/commands.

This woman and her entire family and congregation are seriously fucked in the head.

Another fine example of the stupidity of some Christians. President Obama is not the friggin' Anti-Christ, right? According to many interpretations the Anti-Christ is a person who brings about great peace and prosperity and cooperation between the nations of the world, a veritable miracle worker. If Obama WAS the Anti-Christ he would have great, if unusual, accomplishment and success in his policies, programs and the like. He does not, though, does he?
