We all are pretty well aware of the fact that Christians have this tendancy to allow violations of their own commandments as long as they can somehow justify it in the name of their imiginary friends, but its not often we see ones that post about how they think its okay and try to justify their position.
In this case, Chrissy Satterfield posted a commentary on WorldNetDaily about how she applauds whoever vandalized the atheist billboard in North Carolina.
Some bits from the commentary I thought were interesting...
Chrissy, I'd like to point out that you seem to be confusing truth with opinion. What you consider 'truth' is actually a rather limited and tunnel vision view of what some people believe in, rather then what the world and country believe in as a whole. I know its very easy to bob your head back and forth like a cheerleader and scream "la la la!" whenever someone happens to bring it to your attention that there are people in this world who don't believe the same way you do, but for once, do mature a little.
But, Chrissy, you did just encourage vandalism! It comes back to the Christian way of 'law' (I use this term loosely, considering Christians, if they could write laws, would make being gay and being black an executable offense) where as long as its claimed to be in the name of your imaginary friend, its okay.
One must ask, how would you feel if someone defaced a church billboard? Oh wait, that issue is next!
Atheists vandalizing Christian billboards? Chrissy, please, you really think that atheists are really that desperate to get their message across? We've got other ways to get our message across - some of them are quite humorous and intellegent in nature - but then again, most of the people who would find phrases like "One nation indivisible" offensive, are the ones who can't think for themselves because of what the chruch has done to them.
Only the strongest survive in the world today, it's not my fault you choose to be feeble and weak. You think the priests and such call you the "shepherds flock" because you can think for yourselves and lead?
Its not abuse to try and share your views with others - in fact, your 'modern' Christian doctrine makes you force your views onto other people even if they don't want it. Every time I answer my door, and its someone trying to sell me 'the saving power of jesus', I find that abusive, offensive, and a waste of my time.
Being oppressed is the rallying cry of Christians who don't like being told that they aren't special and above everyone else. Forget the fact that throughout history, Christians have been the oppressers of others, rather then the opposite way around.
I doubt you've had many 'conversations' with atheists - I'm sure it was pretty one sided, with you doing a cheerleader head bobbing "la la la, I can't hear you!" the entire time. I suggest you speak with Hemant from the Friendly Atheist - he's one of the coolest, bad ass, friendly, and logical atheists I've ever come across. I can guarantee you, that he will never not be civil and polite to you.
*ghasp* You might just like him!
Atheists and LGBT people alike have to do that on a daily basis - stand up against Christian oppression and bigotry, and say "To hell with what anyone thinks.". Of course, the difference is, when we do it to you, you call for us to be executed or beaten to death. On the other hand, we just laugh at your supposed 'openness' and 'good Christian nature' knowing full well that the 'open hand of god' is actually grasping a AK-47 pointed right at us.
Chrissy, I always welcome you proving what i've said wrong. Please don't hesitate to contact me - unlike most Christians, I welcome constructive feedback.
(Update: James @ Cubik's Rube also blogged about this as well and is an excellent read)
