My response to Kitanis about fundamentalists and his critique of my Jebidiah video.

Satire on hypocrite YouTuber Gorilla199

This is what religious fundamentalism gets you. At least they don't make the women try to grow beards.

I had no idea this song was Christian Rock...

Some religious crazies take a bus hostage in order to try and get themselves killed and prove their own wacko beliefs.

The hate group known as the "Westboro Baptist Church" has taken upon itself to travel to Canada from Topeka Kansas to protest the funeral of a murder victim here who was the victim of a senseless   more...random attack. The Westboro morons think that this was God's punishment for Canada's Liberal policies.  less

For the last 30 years, religion has exploded as a powerful political force, with an army of followers who share a deep dissatisfaction with modern secular   more...society and a fierce determination to bring God and religion back to the seat of power.

We call them "God's Warriors", and will be investigating who they are, what they want and why they believe it's a battle they cannot afford to lose.

Now, God's Christian warriors -- the religious right in America -- have transformed the nation's landscape with a mix of faith and politics.

By the 1980 presidential election, the Moral Majority mobilized millions of voters. And while Ronald Reagan needed almost no help in his landslide victory over Jimmy Carter, with Falwell in the ring, 12 Democratic senators did lose their seats over issues like abortion. FALWELL: We just got everybody registered. We got them to the polls. And they pulled an R and went on down with Rs and 12 went liberal senators went out of business.

Suddenly, conservative Christians had become a political force portraying themselves then and now as an endangered species whose values were under attack. Issues would be cast in moral terms. Faith and politics would become inseparable.

Never give up, even on the morons.

There isn't a person alive that wouldn't want to beat these crazies.

Truly creepy anti-gay short from the 1950s. It's sad to know that some people still think like this.

"Having fun with the Bible" will hopefully be something that I can keep up for a while. There are so many aberrations in the Bible that it's hard not to see the funny side of things.

In this   more...episode we look at the floodwaters.  less

In this   more...episode we look at the workload thrown into Noah's inbox after he flooded the planet.

Errata: I may have inadvertently punched in 78 instead of 68 (kilometers per day) whilst calculating distances. If this is the case, travel times will have increased drastically. Nevertheless, this error does not really affect this video.  less

This is simply my attempt at explaining the passion that certain non-theists express when they challenge the Sacred Cows of Christianity and other religions. It is inherently flawed to call these individuals   more..."evangelicals", just as it would be flawed to call a gay-rights activist an "evangelical homosexual" or an African-American activist an "evangelical African-American". We must not confuse passion. Having written that, yes, there are some atheists who do cross the line and step straight into the domain of anti-theism, but it is important to differentiate the two.  less

Theocracy is derived from the two Greek words (Theos) meaning "God" and kra/tein meaning "to rule." The Reverend Rod Parsley, a champion of theocracy, or what he calls a "christocracy,"   more...told his congregation at the World Harvest Church:
"Theocracy means God is in control, and you are not."

The theocratic right seeks to establish dominion, or control over society in the name of God. D. James Kennedy, Pastor of Coral Ridge Ministries, calls on his followers to exercise
"godly dominion ... over every aspect ... of human society."
At a "Reclaiming America for Christ" conference in February, 2005, Kennedy said:

"Our job is to reclaim America for Christ, WHATEVER THE COST. As the vice regents of God, we are to exercise godly dominion and influence over our neighborhoods, our schools, our government, our literature and arts, our sports arenas, our entertainment media, our news media, our scientific endeavors -- in short, over EVERY aspect and institution of human society."

Twenty-five years ago dominionists targeted the Republican Party as the vehicle through which they could advance their agenda. At the same time, a small group of Republican strategists targeted fundamentalist, Pentecostal and charismatic churches to expand the base of the Republican Party. www.theocracy.org is not about traditional Republicans or conservative Christians. It is about the manipulation of people of a certain faith for political power.
It is about the rise of dominionists in the U.S. federal government.

Today's hard right seeks total dominion. It's packing the courts and rigging the rules. The target is not the Democrats but democracy itself.

According to acclaimed journalist and television host Bill Moyers,

True, people of faith have always tried to bring their interpretation of the Bible to bear on American laws and morals ... it's the American way, encouraged and protected by the First Amendment. But what is unique today is that the radical religious right has succeeded in taking over one of America's great political parties. The country is not yet a theocracy but the Republican Party is, and they are driving American politics, using God as a a battering ram on almost every issue: crime and punishment, foreign policy, health care, taxation, energy, regulation, social services and so on.  less
