Today's scary Bible verse!

Hosea 9:11-16 - Punishment for Isreal and slaughtering of children:

11 Ephraim's glory will fly away like a bird—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.
12 Even if they rear children,
I will bereave them of every one.
Woe to them
when I turn away from them!
13 I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre,
planted in a pleasant place.
But Ephraim will bring out
their children to the slayer."
14 Give them, O LORD—
what will you give them?
Give them wombs that miscarry
and breasts that are dry.
15 "Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal,
I hated them there.
Because of their sinful deeds,
I will drive them out of my house.
I will no longer love them;
all their leaders are rebellious.
16 Ephraim is blighted,
their root is withered,
they yield no fruit.
Even if they bear children,
I will slay their cherished offspring."

Racism and Barack

A recent study conducted by the Stanford Graduate School of Business revealed some dumbfounding information: racism DOES affect how people view our current president.

Oh really? It took Stanford graduate students to figure this one out?

I remember some of the viral emails that went around when Obama was running for presidency. There was one that said "It's the WHITE House, not the BLACK House." Another one showed a picture of a pimped out car with rims and dice on the rear view, with a caption stating "new presidential transportation." Of course, we all have seen the one that showed a pic of Obama in traditional Muslim attire while visiting in Kenya...obvious proof that our president is a terrorist, right?

Some of the same people who forwarded those emails to me have become defensive when I stated the obvious fact that they were racist. Seriously? I don't understand racism. Furthermore, I don't understand why most of the people I know who are the biggest racist offenders are also Republican, fundamentalist Christians. Does anyone else have an answer? Thoughts, anyone? I would love to open up a discussion.

Today's scary Bible verse!

"From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths."  2Kings 2:23-24

Couldn't have said it better myself...

While reading MSNBC news today, I found an article that was discussing the fact that there has been a reduction in prenatal congenital diseases and defects as a result of increased genetic testing and screening. It was a wonderful, inspiring article, but the first thing I thought when I read it was "Oh, no, the religious fanatics are going to label this eugenics or ‘Satan’s work’ and pan the crap out of this article." I took a few minutes to read the comments, and sure enough, I was correct.

For every two conservative fanatics, there was one rational responder to the article. One person said it the best:

"Yes, that is the "Christian" way. For instance, the Catholic Church had rather millions of children be born and starve to a slow death than a woman use birth control or have an abortion. God help her if she tries to protect her and her children from AIDS by using a condom.


Of course, these Right Wing zealots don't care about children. They are in love with fetuses. Once that child is born, it can die of a dreaded disease or starve to death because these "Christians" do not want to give them health insurance or welfare. Once again, sheer evil wears the cloak of Christianity. May God protect us from the righteous. "

Here is a link to the article, and you can read the comments for yourselves.

New Migthy Melbot Feature...Daily scary Bible verse!

Statistical research has proven that only 10 percent of Christians actually read the Bible. I honestly believe that if more people read it, they would realize that the Biblical god is not the loving, caring figure they imagined. According to the "Good Book", the Christian God was responsible for 2,270,365 deaths. Satan, on the other hand, was responsible for roughly 10.

In order to help educate people on the true nature of the Bible, I will be adding a daily "scary Bible verse" feature to my blog. Enjoy!

Deuteronomy 20:10-17:

When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. . . . This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.



However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you.

What Would Jesus Drive? Christianity Vs. Global Warming

Long before the media began drawing connections between religious attitude and belief in global warming, I began to notice a negative trend between the two. I would read viral emails from republican, "Godly" sources which mocked the very idea that spewing CO2 into the air at record levels could have any negative consequences. Later, the conspiracy theories began.

I have attached a link to a very interesting article from a Christian source that further clarifies the connection between Christian fundamentalists and denial of global warming. The article shines some light on the inherent distrust that many religious people have in science which has led them to dismiss the majority of scientific theories.

Of course, I realize there are many Christians who do believe that global warming is real (and vice versa). However, I have heard several Christians make ominous statements along the lines of "the end of the world is nigh, and we need not concern ourselves so much with future generations." Religious attitude seems to be deepening the divide between the general population and scientific learning, and I find this to be very disturbing.

I also attached a link to a current, legitimate scientific article which supports the theory of global warming.
