Picayune Gods & Those Who Market Them

I'm sure this drew broad guffaws throughout the site. Given your body of work here over the past several years, no one believes that anything remotely like this rings true anywhere throughout your body, especially your heart. Much of what you say here screams religious bigot, racist and profound rube. For you there's a right way to be and a right way to believe, and God's damnation upon you if you're not these things, and especially if you've started four wars against Israel.--Percy

I don't think anyone's noticed a return to sense and rationality. You don't get to decide when that's happened. That up to other people to decide based on what they observe, and what they observe is the same-old same-old.You only stopped posting YouTube videos when your URL posting privileges were taken away.

Well, yes, exactly. Phat is unable to recognize when he's been influenced to pass on other people's hate. You're probably right that he isn't experiencing hate himself when he expresses extreme insensitivity (I'm being kind) about vulnerable people in desperate situations, but he *does* do it over and over and over again, and at some point one has to stop making up excuses for him and call him on it.

About Mike Johnson:

---

He is from a part of the country where your nemesis will smile at you and promise to pray for you, where people will quickly submit that they “love the sinner but hate the sin,” where one hand can hold a Bible while the other holds a shackle. He is from a place where people use religion to brand their hatred as love so that they act on it cheerfully and without guilt.
