I cannot even fathom how someone could be so stupid as to believe this

"Actually Akshay, I think all the violence, murder, rape and corruption is the strongest evidence that there is in fact a Judeo-Christian god. He's the kind of a prick that would do things that way."

Ron commented on Ron's blog post 'Why it is alright to say all manner of evil about atheist and liberals and why it's so dangerous'

"Michael Klein: I would be surprised if anything less than 90% of liberals are Keynesians. Supply side economics requires faith (in voodoo as Bush Sr. put it). Keynesian economics requires common sense and math."

Death will be just like it was before we were born. That doesn't seem so bad.

Why it is alright to say all manner of evil about atheist and liberals and why it's so dangerous

I started out my adult live as a very studious Bible thumping Jesus loving Satan hating fundamentalist planning on being a preacher. In sermons I heard and sermons I delivered there was nothing you could say bad about Satan that went too far. Nothing. In fact, the more emotional the anti-Satan vitriol, the more "amens" you heard.

There are only a couple of people here who are actually advocating that there might be any merit to torture, but every voice of reason against such atrocities is great to hear.
