Bobby Jindal Warns America: Our God Wins!

As we Heathens like to say in response to nonsense like this (only partially tongue-in-cheek), “My god carries a hammer. Your god was nailed to a cross. Any questions?”


Norse story snipped

The meaning of this parable is that it is not God we need to fear, but God’s followers. Jindal’s God is no more going to beat me up than my God will him – or his. The Thangbrands of this world, zealous bullies, are all too frequent an occurrence throughout religious history, and we have no lack of them today.

It is the men like Thangbrand, who, stirred up by men like the AFA’s Bryan Fischer and converts like Bobby Jindal, do the killing in their God’s name. And Sarah Palin’s use of targets is hardly necessary. These people already know who to kill: Everyone and anyone who isn’t one of them.

Maybe I should have posted this in another forum, but as an atheist, I love whatever knocks down the damned theocrats.

We set up an empty boxing ring and ask believers to ask their god to show the heathens what's what once and for all. The one god still standing in the ring after a year is the winner.

for simply posting something that's less than flattering about religion, this is the place.

as long as it is remotely related to religion or the lack thereof.

I always wonder how these people know what their god thinks, or who their god is rooting for. And reading the Bible doesn't do much to help, since Jindal's god could be a merciful god, or a vengeful god, or a caring god, or a vicious god....just depends what part of the Bible you are reading. So I don't know how he knows what god's mood is right now. Hell, his god might win....and he might be on the liberal Democrat's side.

Does Piush, "call me Bobby Lee because I do not want to be mistaken for a Muslim" Jindal realize that the Yahweh of the Bible is the EXACT SAME DEITY as Allah in the Koran? Allah is the Arabic equivalent to the Aramaic al-leh, which simply means, the god, singular. Hence the difference between the monotheism of the Abrahamic religions and the polytheism of other religions, such as Jindal's original faith. He converted from Hinduism to Catholicism but comparative religion is obviously not his strength.
