This video is embarrassing as an atheist document. We didn't think these actors were Christians for a second - not one second - which isn't just our statement on bad acting but saying these quotes are dumb, because the Christians being quoted are dumb: they're attacking NewAgers - not atheists - and don't realize it. That makes them too-easy targets for criticism. Low hanging fruit. Which seems to be all the activist anti-Christian wing of atheists are interested in. They don't seem to realize fired-up Burning Man refugees are equally as annoying, and wrong-headed, as the people they're attacking. This is why TMR doesn't align ourselves with them: they're part of the over-the-top problem. And that, on occasion, includes Richard Dawkins. It definitely includes Sam Harris.
We wish they would just stop and try doing something constructive. Is that really so hard?
How about this, TMR:
ReplyDeleteLuke 6
41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
(KJV)
Jesus, Johnny.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I guess, that comment will have to do,...
You should study up on your Bible, TMR. The easiest way to beat a Christian down is to demonstrate to him he's not living up to his ideals. They never are.
ReplyDeleteThe accumulated wisdom in the Bible - so long as it isn't interpreted as literal truth and the word of the Almighty - has a lot of useful things to tell us. Unlike the New Age BS.
