Apparently, dis guy wants Atheists to register because he thinks they are as dangerous as sex offenders. http://freethoughtblogs.com/dispatches/2011/08/30/pastor-wants-national-registry-for-atheists/
So...is he saying atheists are as bad as sex offenders...or is he saying sex-offenders are as harmless as atheists, and this is some weird kind of NAMBLA apologia? Either way, he's a fucking kook.
Anyone not on the registry is labeled a nutcase? Kinda like GATTICA, where if you're not on a list, you're 'subhuman'?
So is he relegated to the "Not a REAL Christian" box? Two things I find amusing: He's based in Berkeley He runs an "Internet church" Wonder if he's actually met any of his "parishioners"?
Last time I checked it was a free country. If I didn't serve 22+ years defending these freedoms, let me know, Pastor Fuckface.
This is good. By proposing such a scheme, this "pastor" identifies himself as an imbecile that people would be better not to listen to, and does some further damage to his particular brand of bronze-age superstition.
No one's saying this is reflective of all Christians, everyone is telling the guy to fuck off or just laughing at his stupidity. As they should. Perhaps thou doth protest too much...
It's no less absurd than many of the things which you profess. Don't you believe that the Universe was sneezed into existence from the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure?
This man has no power to harm me. Unlike numerous current and wannabe politicians that have much more ludicrous beliefs.
People who want to register other people who want to register other people who want to register other people should be registered should be registered should be registered.
What? It isn't enough most churches keep lists of their members, they now want lists of atheists now, too? How about it's none of your business.
I wonder if, like all those gay-bashing US politicians who turn out to be gay themselves, this pastor might really be an atheist? Over-compensation ftw!
The next thing you know, the government will want us to register when we turn 18 or label us with 9 digit numbers in a giant database!! Oh, wait.....
And Jesus reinforced the part about love and loving your neighbor regardless of who s/he is. I think this particular pastor needs to read the New Testament again.
