Pat Robertson: 'Islam Not A Religion'

tags: , , , , , ,

A Muslim takes on Pat Robertson and his form of fundamentalist wingnuttery known as "evangelical religion". Pat Robinson demonstrates nicely that even religious people of different denominations do not respect each other even though they supposedly are on the same side. They are so busy pointing fingers and making judgments about each others' faith that it's beyond silly for them to try to convert atheists .. because they can't agree as to which religion is "the one true faith" nor can they (apparently, according to this video) agree as to what constitutes a religion at all.

Karen Armstrong has once again published a pile of meaningless twaddle in defense of religion. In this mess, she takes a series of statements about god that she says need rethinking…but as always, her "rethinking" is merely a reworking of apologetics for maintaining the status quo. It's almost as…
Yes folks, Pat Robertson has once again been confabbing with God and he has reported on the 700 Club that God has told him that Bush will win the 2004 election easily: "I think George Bush is going to win in a walk.

Sastra here again. We anticipate it. Or, at least, I do. Whenever some lunatic in a not-so-happy place in his life goes into a happy place with a gun and starts to shoot at random human targets, sooner or later someone blames it on atheism. Or links it to atheism. Or compares it to atheism. Or…
You know atheism is making headway when it starts to elicit new, and more desperate, forms of push back.

That's funny. Ive often heard Christians say that Christianity (their brand, of course)isn't a "religion", and that everything else is a religion. That religion is "man reaching up to God", and Christianity is "God reaching down to man".

Yes Christians like to ignore what that inconvenient fellow Jesus Christ said. He said to Judge not lest ye be judged and to take the log out of your eye before you try to take the spec out of your neighbors eye and let him who is without sin cast the first stone. But Christ spoils all the fun, so he must be ignored! All fundamentalism are about the same they think the have a direct pipeline to their god, so they know exactly what is true. AS was commented one time the fundamentalists god is to small.
