The far left religion haters are drawn to any shred of evidence that seems to show religion is BAD for you and bad for society in general even when it’s bogus which 99% of it usually is.

Case in point: John Cole on Slate’s Paul Bloom and the discredited Gregory Paul.

Cole on Phil Zuckerman’s new book using Paul’s bogus “research”

Turns out, societies that have more non-believers murder and rape each other on a much lower level than we here in America:

Ooops…what’s that…, Gregory Paul turns out to be a sham…..! No Way..!

Gregory S. Paul Gets Recycled | Verum Serum

Gregory S. Paul’s study on the correlation between atheism and societal health keeps popping up in new places, despite the fact that it is a pre-fabricated fraud. Someone named Phil Zuckerman has written a chapter for the forthcoming Cambridge Companion to Atheism in which Paul’s study is cited as authoritative.

Because the left is losing it’s mind over the fact that the majority of Americans and California don’t want the tradition of marriage trampled on through Proposition 8, the nutroots begin a race baiting campaign to smear the long standing holiday tradition of displaying a lighted cross as something akin to “cross burning”.

Once again the left shows their thick dishonesty and belief that their flock is as dumb as a box of rocks playing as if they have never seen a lighted cross displayed during the Christmas season.

Firedoglake » Keeping the Holidays Classy

Dear American Family Association, would it kill you to think things through just a little bit?

Let Your “Light” Shine For Christ This Christmas Season!

Looking for an effective way to express your Christian faith this Christmas season to honor our Lord Jesus? Now you can…. with the “Original Christmas Cross” yard decoration.

Yes, an image of a burning cross in the front yard — A White Christmas indeed.

Typical nutroots, can’t win on the issue so just attack Christianity as a faith of the pig ignorant and wrapping it up in a package of race baiting. Yup that’s just what’s needed a bunch baby killing, marriage mocking lunatics critiquing and distorting the displaying of the cross during the holidays and attempting to turn it into a symbol of hatred.

Expect to see more of this comparison.

Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo asleep at the keyboard points to an Obama interview by Cathleen Falsani where she discusses religion and faith with Obama. The interview transcript has been available for the better part of FOUR YEARS…! but that doesn’t stop the click and paster in chief at TPM from posting it as some kind of exclusive he just found.

Keep up the crack up to date reporting Josh!

I’m just a part time hack who commented on the interview several months ago.

A very telling interview of Barack Obama talking about his faith.

It’s very telling how Obama thinks some view heaven as believing in “the harps and clouds and wings”.

Believing sin and the act of sinning is as Obama describes “Being out of alignment with my values” is more than a little disturbing and boarding on the belief system of a sociopath.

First off, the Jews were “gassed” by evil, despicable Nazis, nobody in a Dayton Mosque was “gassed”.

UPDATE: See Bottom

UPDATE II: No evidence of a hate crime.
Police: No evidence of hate crime at local mosque

No evidence of hate crime at local mosque

The story is has already been touted on:
Digg
The Huffington Post
Dailykos

And already over 118,000 Google results on it since Friday.

Chemical irritant empties Islamic Society of Greater Dayton’s mosque

DAYTON — Baboucarr Njie was preparing for his prayer session Friday night, Sept. 26, when he heard children in the Islamic Society of Greater Dayton coughing. Soon, Njie himself was overcome with fits of coughing and, like the rest of those in the building, headed for the doors.

“I would stay outside for a minute, then go back in, there were a lot of kids,” Njie said. “My throat is still itchy, I need to get some milk.”

According to fire dispatch communications, a child reported seeing two men with a white can spraying something into a window. That child was brought to the supervising firefighter at the scene.

What’s peculuar is that this took place on last Friday September 26th and there are already over 118,000 Google results on it.

Notice how the Daily Kos and the left make a shameless and pathetic attempt to link this to McCain supporters and the GOP;

Daily Kos: Muslim Children Gassed at Dayton Mosque After “Obsession” DVD Hits Ohio

This, apparently, is what the scare tactic political campaigning of John McCain’s supporters has led to — Americans perpetrating a terrorist attack against innocent children on American soil.

Chris Rodda cross posted the story at Huffington Post, Israel News and Dailykos and who just happens to be behind such garbage as “Liars for Jesus” and  is the Senior Research Director for Military Religious Freedom Foundation or MMRF, a radical Christian hating left wing group that is anything but what its title suggests.

Oh and what a surprise a lawsuit was filed on September 25th by “Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF)” to stop the distribution of Obsession.

PDF copy of complaint.

Both Brigette Gabriel and Walid Shoebat appeared in the 2005 anti-Muslim documentary Obsession: Radical Islam’s War This documentary, currently being Against the West. redistributed via DVDs inserted in major newspapers to millions of voters in “swing” states, has been used by the Department of the Navy, and has also been shown at U.S. Army training events. The documentary has been endorsed by Jeffrey H. Norwitz, Professor, U.S. Naval War College.

Since the left wants to blame McCain supporters without a SHRED of proof I will blame the radical left for committing this “blag flag” act of terrorism.

UPDATE: So far HAZMAT workers have found NOTHING

When Dayton fire and emergency personnel arrived at 26 Josie St. on Friday night, they noticed an odor. HAZMAT workers checked the structure for pepper spray and other irritants, but found nothing.

Police said they were continuing their investigation.

Dayton Daily News

If a person or group is found to be guilty of “setting off” or spraying
a “chemical” irritant into the Mosque, targeting women and children then the vile scum should be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I’m sure all the lefties would want any suspects in this matter affordeded the best
possible attorneys and all the comforts of Gitmo, I would prefer they
just torture the person or persons responsible for attacking women and
children engaging in religious worship.

I don’t listen to James Dobson but I do agree with his take on Obama’s selective and ambiguous Bible interpretations and references.

[Audio clip: view full post to listen]

James Dobson accuses Obama of `distorting’ Bible - Yahoo! News

“Even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States of America, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools?” Obama said. “Would we go with James Dobson’s or Al Sharpton’s?” referring to the civil rights leader.

Dobson took aim at examples Obama cited in asking which Biblical passages should guide public policy — chapters like Leviticus, which Obama said suggests slavery is OK and eating shellfish is an abomination, or Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, “a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application.”

“Folks haven’t been reading their Bibles,” Obama said.

Dobson and Minnery accused Obama of wrongly equating Old Testament texts and dietary codes that no longer apply to Jesus’ teachings in the New Testament.

“I think he’s deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own worldview, his own confused theology,” Dobson said.

“… He is dragging biblical understanding through the gutter.

Notice how Obama makes teaching Christianity into a “Black vs White” issue wondering if Al Sharpton’s or James Dobson’s Christianity would be the choice of learning institutions.

Ambiguity goes hand in hand with Obama’s Christainity.

I wonder why when Barack Obama was asked by Cathleen Falsani “who Jesus was to him” he replied with the following;

Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.

And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.

Obama can believe what he wants but to not refer to Jesus as the Son of God, instead of a “teacher” and “historical figure” is more than just a bit curios because Christianity is built on the fact that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, if you don’t believe or recognize that then it’s kind of hard (impossible) to claim you are a Christian.

Obama’s answer to the question “who was Jesus” would be like describing your Mother as the woman who gave birth to you and lived with you while you grew up. But then again the left likes ambiguity when it comes to the definition of family and spiritual relationships.

A very telling interview of Barack Obama talking about his faith.

It’s very telling how Obama thinks some view heaven as believing in “the harps and clouds and wings”.

Believing sin and the act of sinning is as Obama describes “Being out of alignment with my values” is more than a little disturbing and boarding on the belief system of a sociopath.

A must read is Cathleen Falsani’s 2004 interview of Barack Obama:

The Dude Abides

GG:
What do you believe?

OBAMA:
I am a Christian.
So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith.
On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences.
I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10.
My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim.
And I’d say, probably, intellectually I’ve drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.

GG:
Who’s Jesus to you?

(He laughs nervously)

OBAMA:
Right.
Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.

And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.

GG:
Do you believe in heaven?

OBAMA:
Do I believe in the harps and clouds and wings?

GG:
A place spiritually you go to after you die?

OBAMA:
What I believe in is that if I live my life as well as I can, that I will be rewarded. I don’t presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die. But I feel very strongly that whether the reward is in the here and now or in the hereafter, the aligning myself to my faith and my values is a good thing.

When I tuck in my daughters at night and I feel like I’ve been a good father to them, and I see in them that I am transferring values that I got from my mother and that they’re kind people and that they’re honest people, and they’re curious people, that’s a little piece of heaven.

GG:
Do you believe in sin?

OBAMA:
Yes.

GG:
What is sin?

OBAMA:
Being out of alignment with my values.

GG:
What happens if you have sin in your life?

OBAMA:
I think it’s the same thing as the question about heaven. In the same way that if I’m true to myself and my faith that that is its own reward, when I’m not true to it, it’s its own punishment.

I would think that if anyone claiming to be a Christian was asked “who was Jesus” would answer that Jesus Christ was the Son of God…No?

Glenn Greenwald tried to play the Race Card in his post on Easter by throwing it at Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit even though Greenwald had to change his own headline and spin his error with 6 or 7 updates.

Somehow today Greenwald’s Race Baiting incompetence is the fault of the “Right Wing Noise Machine”!

Ahhhh…another leftie nutroot forever the victim.

Afterthought:

Another summation by Greenwald that proves America is safer when some Attorneys spend more time blogging instead of litigating.

Only the nutroots would see a baptising by the Pope as “rubbing the Muslims’ noses in Holy Water”.

Firedoglake » I Wouldn’t Choose Your Pastor

I noticed the Pope delivered an Easter greeting calling for peace and reconciliation, and those sound like good ideas. But then he kinda rubbed the Muslims’ noses in holy water, making a public display of personally baptizing an ex-Muslim convert who’s known for his anti-Muslim remarks. Does he not see the connection? Udpdate: And how would the Pope respond to the Saudi King’s call for interfaith dialogue?

I guess the pope should have said, sorry I can’t baptize you today, I don’t want to rub your former Muslim brothers and sisters noses in my Holy Water.

Yea ok.

Notice how the hypocritical hateful lefties have no problem using one of the most sacred symbols of the Catholic faith, Holy Water, in an attempt to throw some bigoted snark.
