...still believe there's a God? (an atheist provocation)
After the freak death of Christian gospel singer Stephen Chapman's daughter back in May, comes more evidence suggesting that God does not actually give a s*** about his flock*. A 79 year old Oklahoma churchgoer, watching from his parked car with his wife as his church attempted to lift it's new steeple into place... was instead brutally killed when the crane (and the steeple) collapsed on him.
God really has it all under control. He's the king of heaven and he has a taste for sick irony. Hasn't this widow's lifetime of religion been rewarded? Isn't this just the thing to strengthen her faith? It's a big F.U! to the church (and the faithful) from the big guy upstairs, who must be exhausted after killing 90,000 people in the Chinese earthquake and leaving 5 million survivors homeless. God's love is so heart-warming.
So let's open our hymnals to page 170, and sing "O Send me to my Rest with Jesus by Crushing my Sorry Ass under a Giant, Mutli-ton Crane!"

(*I kid, he can't care if he doesn't exist)

Here's the deal on Christianity: Up until about 30+ years ago, the focus was mainly on Old Testament crap . . . you know, were God really shines as a true bastard and enjoys making his creations suffer. Now you've got all this touchy-queerie, Jesus hugging drivel that lulls it's followers into an false sense of security and entitlement. Seems to be working out well, huh?
I've recently taking to worshiping the Norse gods . . . at least those fuckers know how to keep it real.
