Atheists are miserable people.

That fountain of insane Christian dribble, Pat Robertson, once again came up with a beaut. In the yearly bitch about the “war on Christmas”, Robertson said to his sheep (just as smart) that atheists are miserable because, I guess, they don’t believe in the big daddy in the sky. These terrible people want to suck all the fun out of Christmas and make the Christians just as miserable as themselves. You got it Pat! If you can stomach listening to good ole Pat the link is here.

Anyway, this bullshit about the war on Christmas has as its’ perennial cheerleader, none other than Bill O’Reilly, who recent claimed that Christianity is not a religion but a philosophy. See it here. Does he agree that Atheism is not a religion?

I know Bill O is a very high intellectual so he knows of what he speaks. However I would suggest that he get in touch with Jesus and make sure he’s got it right. Or maybe he should at least contact Benedict XVI and let him know. For 2,000 years the Catholic Church has always proclaimed themselves as the one true religion, or at least that’s what the nuns told me when I went to Catholic elementary school. Maybe I didn’t hear it correctly.

Back to Pat Robertson. Think about all the Christians you know who are so jolly all the time while wondering if God will judge them good or bad and thus determining if they will have an eternity of singing to God every day (yuck!) or roasting like a Boston Market chicken for just as long. That thought alone would make anyone miserable.

Pat may also have caused some issues with his dumb sheep, er - believers, when he said recently that young creationists don’t have it right about the age of the world. He even put in a good word about carbon dating. My God, is Pat leaning towards the dark side?

Pat said - “Look, I know that people will probably try to lynch me when I say this, but Bishop [James] Ussher wasn't inspired by the Lord when he said that it all took 6,000 years. It just didn't. You go back in time, you've got radiocarbon dating. You got all these things and you've got the carcasses of dinosaurs frozen in time out in the Dakotas.

They're out there. So, there was a time when these giant reptiles were on the Earth and it was before the time of the Bible. So, don't try and cover it up and make like everything was 6,000 years. That's not the Bible.”

Pat’s always good for a laugh or two. Too bad his followers sop it up without questioning. I guess they can’t question Pat else they wouldn’t be his followers. Think about it.
