So after over a decade of the radical anti-religious New Atheists spouting rhetoric against religion that would make a party in the 1930s Reichstag look Kosher by comparison, atheists are dealing with the ugly notion that evidence suggests the killer of nine people at Umpqua College purposefully targeted Christians. \u00a0Of course for most atheists, like most liberals and secularists, Christianity is the prime enemy. \u00a0So most contempt, disgust, hatred, spite, demagoguery and lies are aimed at Christians and Christianity. \u00a0And of course we know that such rhetoric is always behind things like racist hate crimes, and anti-gay hate crimes, and anti-Muslim hate crimes. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But as Western Liberalism tends to do, once again we have a case where the zealousness of its righteous crusaders turns on itself and seems to expose the movement\u2019s hypocrisy and agendas. \u00a0So Lauren Nelson, penning for the always ironically titled Friendly Atheist<\/i><\/a>, steps in to say \u2018not so fast, it may not have anything to do with it after all!\u2019 \u00a0<\/div>\n
That, of course, is a favorite tactic of the leftist propaganda machine. \u00a0If a person kills blacks or gays or another minority group adopted by the Left, then hatred is the only motive. \u00a0The only focus. \u00a0If someone breaks from that, or a member of the approved minority community commits the crime, or a victim is from a non-accepted group, then it\u2019s all about anything but the hatred. \u00a0Once again, reminding us that we are dealing with a movement that hates us; one that likely doesn\u2019t care for the various groups it claims to support, but one that certainly hates certain groups \u2013 like Christians. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Still, it is fun reading. Most normal, sensible people wouldn\u2019t buy it. \u00a0How college educated post-moderns with access to the Internet will accept it remains to be seen.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
P.S. \u00a0If you\u2019re unfamiliar with the good Ms. Nelson, here is a post<\/a> explaining why she is not just pro-choice, but happily and proudly pro-abortion. \u00a0She is, in her words, not just pro-choice, but pro-abortion And Proud Of It!\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
