It was over before it started. Jesus won. Kos lost. Kos didn't realize that jesus is the straw that stirs the crazy drink. Can't you see that? Remove Jesus and their house of cards collapses like a big pile of dung. Don't believe me? Attend a church. Listen to the religious networks.
I was recently driving through Kansas. There is a christian radio news network that sounds like a legitimate new source. They had a story about evolution. Talked about how the evidence (dino/bird fossils) was being distorted by scientist. It concluded with "birds have always been birds, and reptiles have always been reptiles." To an uneducated person, this source was as good as CBS or the Smithsonian.
Yet, when I simply point out that religion is a hoax here on KOS, I expected a friendly audience. Instead, 10 hides in one day. I can't remember the last hide I did.
I am told by administrators that I was a jerk and should leave religion alone. To treat it as a hobby like stamp collecting. And if it doesn't enter into the public sphere to let it be. Rally? It dominates the public sphere. It is killing us. Literally.
"Evolution is straight from the pits of hell." This is now accepted thinking in our populace. But I should be nice about it. OK, how do I nicely say that christianity is about as real as Jack and the Beanstalk. Tell me how to say that without pissing off a fundie. Please, tell me.
Progressives, including you enablers out there, we never had a chance. The fight was over before it started. Jesus won. We must respect Jesus. Otherwise, I'm a jerk.
Good luck folks. I'm not going to waste my time. I see the writing on the wall. America will slowly become a land of "city states," in my view. People of like mine will be forced to do that as our government is dysfunctional. I'm going to CO. I'm going to live the few days I have left enjoying mother earth. And my pups.
Sam Harris, Christpher Hitchens, and Richard Dawkins would be hidden, here. Or worse, banned. THINK ABOUT THAT.
Please, don't hide Suskind, too.
