There is no limit to the hubris of Christians.
Can't they wait until a funeral before they push that old mumbo jumbo off on the victims of the mudslide in Oso?
If someone in MY immediate family was disrespected by these Christian gouls as they were being recovered from a muddy grave I would be livid.
My reaction to reports on the telly that clergy was standing by at the site of the disaster to perform some hocus pocus over the dead.
Christians are disgusting.
And yet they are away from their jobs, home and families to be onsite and provide food, shelter and comfort while you sit behind a keyboard and piss and moan about the beliefs that lead them to actually do something to help their fellow man. Are all atheist as miserable and angry as you?
Serial killers must take time away from their jobs and families to do their work also.
There are some that are fooled into believing they must recieve contact from religious representatives at times like this. My message is not for them.
I'm not as angry or miserable as you might imagine.
MY reaction was that it was assumed by the TV coverage that a religious presense was a neccesary component to the search and recovery phase of the initial official response.
I question what if any good the bible thumpers could offer that the victims own pastors and priests couldn't fullfill in their own churches.
I think assigning an on site god squad is in bad taste as there is no way to know what if any spiritual advisors would be appreciated by the victims or the first responders. True..approxomately 60% of Americans believe in a god..enough to admit they go to a church or other institution or organization. That leaves 40% that do not.
Spiritual counciling should be best handled by the individual upon request.
