What Did Americans Do?
There are so very many people ready to jump up on the pretty little stack of screwy religious ideas of hate that are supposedly interwoven in the message of love that the Bible is supposed to carry and so freely give unto all men and women no matter who they are or where they are from.
Does the asshole giving the commentary on this deluded video really think he is doing anyone any kind of favor? Does he think he is truly speaking for God? Is this vengeful God of his who supposedly says COME AS YOU ARE and then turns around and instructs His violent Christianity adherents (according to some not all Christians; all Christians are most certainly NOT violent fuckers) to turn on those who came as they were but were different, is this God worthy of any kind of following whatsoever?
There is no answer given here. All that happens is the guy tries to answer the question with another question, and it is not even a good question. This man is trying to equate the things within humanity that make people angry and afraid (rape, for example) with things that supposedly make God angry. Then he tries to take the example of this supposed righteous anger and tries very hard to make it look like the anger and violence expressed by human beings who are religious (example, those having faith in God...the right God, mind you) against human beings who want nothing to do with religion is normal, if not invited and encouraged by God.
If you hear it the way this guy is saying it people who do not believe in God cannot do anything right and have absolutely ZERO morality within themselves or their communities. If it is not according to the Bible and the crack smoking God of the Bible it is evil and terrible and slated for hell.
What further complicates the issue is the fact that the reasoning of people who really do believe the shit that the guy in this video is yaking about is considered completely and totally validated by the swell of anger that is justifiably given in response by people who are fucking dog-tired of this crap.
Do you really want people to stop being angry with God? Do you really want people to come to God instead of fleeing God not because of the wrath of God, but because of the insanity of His followers? Here are a couple of pointers: Dear God, STOP telling your followers to kill people who believe differently, STOP allowing your followers to hurt people who love differently, and most of all STOP allowing pointless, senseless fighting and wars as groups differing in opinion and origin bicker over who you are and how great your mighty love is. How about that?
You really REALLY want to stop the hate and the fighting? Then for the love of Christ PLEASE show this mighty love that this supposedly all powerful, mighty, majestic God is. The words of your own book say that love conquers all. LOVE CONQUERS ALL. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that HATE conquers all, but in many cases people would not know this because the claimed powerful lesson of love is lost in the shuffle and press of war.
I cannot be angry with God because there is no God. I can be and have often been angry with some of those who profess to be a testimony for the love that conquers all. These kinds of people do not know anything even remotely similar to what love is. They love only themselves and live solely to conform and rush to obey a violent deity so that they may maintain their imaginary reigns of power and empty promise of perfection in a make-believe eternity.
Okay, Mr. Only-My-God-Can-Make-Earthquakes, there is this fabulous area of study called geology. It really is an excellent area of science to study because you get to learn some very wonderful things about how this living planet that mankind inhabits functions. Of course, I do not want to overwhelm you with too much information that might frighten you and, God forbid, plant the seed that might morph into a faith-destructing weed that would strangle you straight to the hell you claim exists. No, we wouldn't want that.
So, why don't we take baby steps and start small, okay? Good. Now, why don't you go and work on your antiquated religious ideals; once you can release your death grip on the idea that the spiritual world is flat we will move onto the next baby step.

More hilarious mumbo-jumbo from one who obviously does not understand the anger of his own God, right? If God was so flipping angry at America and truly wanted to punish Americans, shee-it...Sarah Palin WOULD have made it to the White House.

Speaking to the gentleman in this video: Look buddy, there are some serious holes in your...well, for the sake of throwing you a bone we will call it an argument...in the argument you presented. I will only address one of these problems because I think it is the biggest problem with what you are saying. Are you ready? Good. Listen carefully...
...for all of the damn near perfect things that your God supposedly created, for all of the great detail and precision that your God supposedly expressed in creating marvels such as galaxies, stars, DNA, the immune system, reproduction in any species, the brain, the five senses as well as innumerable other amazing complexities...are you seriously going to stand or sit there and try to convince people that this precise God of great detail is going to suddenly turn around and do something so imprecise as dishing out punishment and forcing those punished to GUESS what they are being punished for?

Look lady, you are not in the least bit concerned with doing anything God wants you to do. You are concerned with saving YOUR ass from some ginormous judgment that ends with the penalty of an eternity of hell. You say the things you say and preach the things you preach EVEN WHEN PEOPLE DON'T CARE TO HEAR SUCH GARBAGE because you think that this will save your ass from some horrible spiritual sentence.
Lady, there is either something hideously wrong with your spiritual teachings (scriptures) that you are working from, or there is something equally seriously wrong with how you, an obviously bitter crone, are interpreting your version of scriptures. You worship a mean and terrible and elusive, self-loving God. If such a God existed He would deserve nothing more than the lack of love that you show all those who choose to believe differently than you, and nothing less than a good heaping helping of His own medicine.

Listen, you stupid bitch...there is something called weather. Maybe you have heard of it. It is hateful and delusional people like you who give whatever faith it is that they worship a bad name. Sometimes the processes of this planet can be scary whether it is a storm, hurricane, blizzard, quake, tsunami, sinkholes...the list goes on forever. The natural processes of this planet are not punishment for any fucking thing. Not one.
Your campy audio effects and absurdly misinformed interpretations of reality do nothing to further your cause. You and people like you are in fact your own oppression. Your version of God is no less violent and deluded than every other similar faith throughout the history of man and religion. You and every religiously oppressive individual or group from anywhere in the world always claim with great pride that your God/Allah is one of great love, that He sustains you and provides for you.
The ugly truth of your faith and Christianity and institutionalized religion and ALL violent faiths is that the ONLY love to be found in your brand of religion is the love of the POWER your deity has supposedly given you over all who do not believe and think and live the same as you do. Even worse is the manner in which your terrible God/Allah sustains you by providing you with promises of victory unto all like you and death to all others. Has man really and truly come this far just to destroy himself and all the possibilities for love and beauty over such an insignificant thing as self-righteous and haughty power?

The implications of what you are saying as to how God would deal with children is so very disturbing. What the fuck happened to your message of love that the God in your Bible instructed you to show others? What does John 13:34-35 say: "A new commandment I give unto you that you love one another as I have loved you. By this shall all men know you are my disciples if you have love one for another."
No doubt you will whip out every conceivable verse that speaks of God destroying the wicked (the wicked being those who are quite succinctly pointed out as all those who would believe differently than you). You will relay every story from your hateful Bible that speaks of God decimating and murdering all those who think and follow and live and breathe and love differently from you.
Do you seriously NOT see the inconsistent and severely bipolar nature of the one in whom you choose to sink your every savings of trust? One moment He says to show one another love and the next minute is telling you to shun individuals in same-sex relationships, to pray for the deaths of those who desire to believe differently or not at all, to encourage your children to think only in lines of separation, and WORST OF ALL to perpetuate the seriously fucked up ideal that there is no hope for mankind outside of the Bible and its hideous creator.

The mournful belch of bagpipes playing Amazing Grace do absolutely jack shit to detract from the terrible claims and twisted verses and insinuations of this asinine video.

I am not really sure what is worse: people who actually believe and follow this shit, or the embarrassing stupidity of the narrator. Every religion clings to prophecy and vision, but those are not the only things they have in common. Every violent religion and every violent religious follower of ANY religion clings tenaciously to bits of scripture and holy words that are nothing more than the ramblings of those suffering from low spiritual self-esteem desperately seeking any kind of power that will lift them higher than everyone else.
Another thing, this whack job drones on and on about destruction and judgment and death, but then at the very end quite cheerily says God bless. You know what, sir? Fuck off. The basis for your proposed faith is centered completely around death. Making things worse is your fear of death which is so strong it smothers your sense of love and compassion completely, prompting you to mistreat and abuse others.

Listen to the words of the song at the beginning of the video. There is a line that says something along the lines of "I don't want your money, I just want your life." Boy, if that is not the bitter truth I don't know what is. These pathological individuals can be heard here saying that Jesus loves everyone, but that those who do not agree don't understand the kind of HATE that is God's hate. Whatever man. What fucking ever. We're just going to leave it there.
Here is another fine example of why many people are simply fed up with certain individuals within religion. I say it like that because not everyone within religion is an asshole who tries to force what is far too often manifested as a dilapidated faith upon those around them. The woman here is a fine example of what is wrong, completely wrong, with religion. Her message is not one of salvation or faith as she apparently thinks it is. At its very bare bones the argument she presents is this: Believe and live this way or die.
Oh, and for the record Ma'm, I am not afraid of your God because He does not exist. You are arguing for something that does not exist. In addition to that, the Devil does not fear God because, like God, the Devil does not exist. Something that does not exist cannot elicit fear just as something that does not exist cannot produce fear in response to something that does not exist trying to elicit fear.
Have I been led to errantly believe that God is a God consisting only of love? No, but I wager many many others have but not from what you are thinking. Your very own myopic faith is what led people to believe that God is only love. Remember your own Bible says that God is love and everlasting and forgiving and gracious. It also says love is patient and kind and persevering and more. So if this love is everlasting and if this love is God and if God is eternal...honey you need to rework your argument because it does not just have a few holes. It has no bottom to it at all.
There is ONE apostasy and that apostasy is that your Bible and your faith places limits on the love of your God, a love that is supposed to be eternal. The moment you come across someone who will not bend to your lethal brand of faith you purposely, and with great malice strive to redefine this eternal love of your God so that your inexcusable behavior and hatred can be explained away.
I understand where this person is coming from and what he is trying to say. Unfortunately, by saying that all religions are facing elimination in some kind of grand end-of-all-time event he very deftly hops right into the boat and takes a seat with all of the religions of the world that profess a faith or set of ideals based on a believe-this-way-or-die philosophy.
