Considering a dark colored van was suspected by ATF as being connected with the church burnings,and nobody has been hurt in the church burnings..Wonder why ? Is it Psyops? And why would psyops burn churches ?
http://www.nbc13.com/news/6948984/detail.htmlChristians have more cultural dominance and undeserved cultural deference than any other time in recent history everything in this country pretty much tolerant of christianity.
For some perspective...on what it is like for pagans this is recent events in Maryland Harford county a part of Maryland that sadly is tinted red. Ok in my county reading tarot cards is illegal(public prayer is not ,Christian counseling is ok too) Sadly all legit new age/pagan shops that open here within a yearn are run out of the county with damage vandalism and threats,shop owners are harassed, their cars keyed tires slashed..Police look the other way. A pagan display on private property( it was a green man halloween display are forced by the court to be removed because "it scared the children of fundie parents) Fundie assholes in harford county get their self righteous panties in a knot over Spencer's store in the mall!And Spencer's ships a ton of things to Cmart the local outlet..to appease these assholes. Also kinda recently there was a public new age symposium in my county..and sure enough they had a police presence to intimidate pagans.It was a psychic round table held at barns and noble to demonstrate and discuss ghosts,crystals, psychic phenomena and general new age stuff.So don't tell me christians are persecuted.
It;s FUNDAMENTALISTS persecuting everyone,just like the Muslim BULLIES rioting over a cartoon they don't like. Fundamentalists of all stripes are bullies at heart and they use religion to excuse domination..
Every bully screams persecution and "beliefs"as their excuse to suppress others and take their rights away.
http://www.bens.org/sw_ar051702.htmlhttp://www.jeremiahproject.com/prophecy/warxian.htmlYou know some of the fundie baptists are itching for a "culture war".They resent everyone(like us pagans) who not like themselves and if they can't get what they want(dominance and suppression of others right to be and believe differently) by trying to overthrow the government and stack the courts..Like all deluded "martyrs" to their own power they'll incite their own brown shirts within the church....
Is it because the left will not be so easily provoked to retaliatory violence? What are the organization and orientation of the churches have been burnt ? Are they protean or authoritarian? The authoritarian zealot baptists are itching for culture war but just don't say it at every turn where liberals can hear.Who knows what paranoia and hate spews from their pulpits in private when they speak among the people who agree.. So are they doing their own version of the Reichstags fire so they will have their excuse to go forth and bash liberals and kill gays who won't play culture war with the religious bullies?
It's such a convenient excuse for fundie revenge..The evil church burning libruls..and the gubmint controlled by Satan won't catch the culprits Take gods law into your own hands boys and burn the witches and shoot the gays and torture liberals until they become fundies.
Fundies have been inciting rage against liberals gays pagans in their own fear mongering,persecution complex ridden Armageddon seeking, rabidly bullying zealot contingents they know damn well are in their own congregations ..Are they inciting them by burning church buildings..and collecting insurance $$$ and tithes from the sympathetic so they can get a megachurch..while they are at it?
I find evangelism and all forms of fundamentalism to be a personality sickness, it makes a person morally inferior .
You might not like such a statement,because of your own overvalued utoipian ideals of tolerance or getting along.But in reality you cannot build bridges with bullies, abusers of trust or authoritarians without causing harm. You just cannot.
If you think I am wrong, tell me what good contributions to a society does any rigid narcissistic,controlling,bullying,hypocrite,fantasy pushing,abusing,unreasonable,criminal,over ambitious,greedy,domineering, authoritarian personality,offer?
And likewise what good to society does the fawning enabling of bullies by irresponsible brown nosing,in denial over-obedient,unquestioning followers of idolized authority figures offer to ANY social relationship?
The Bible has too much war god chest beating excuses for tyranny in it's pages. It has hateful exclusivity and authoritarianism,even in Jesus's words. And it has too much obedience codified as "goodness" within it's pages to be ANY sort of moral guide for a civil sane society. The founding fathers agree with me too..
To me the bible has systematically warped the minds of certain personalities to make them worse,give them cover, to make society sick . These true believer con men bullies are dangerous enemies of a diverse civil society and cooperative healthy mutual relationships between different kinds of people..All religious zealotry,institutionalized,power based orthodoxies and all forms of fundamentalism and it's unspoken (sometimes championed)desire (couched as evangelism and outreach) to dominate others and make them accept fundamentalists is sickening..and all forms of fundamentalism are morally wrong,evil..and I myself find control freak evangelicals(of any religion) a dangerous blight on mankind's ability to cope with a reality that is uncertain and requires a healthy balance of individual freedom and community relationships...in order to thrive on a world with each other.
