from Facebook *edit
Someone I ended up friends with on Facebook somehow (and I have no idea how) posted a status requesting anyone who believed in magic or considered themselves a Wiccan etc to remove themselves. She then went on to post Bible verses about how witches should be killed. My response:
Wow… Who did Jesus hang out with again? Oh….that’s right….the outcasts of society, the people that “godly” people wouldn’t associate with. Before you get to the point that you kick gay people off of your friends list too, I’m gone. “I like your Christ. I don’t like your Christians. They’re nothing like your Christ” ghandi.
Why don’t you call for the inquisition to come back. You can get rid of all the witches, homosexuals and Jews at the same time. I’m an atheist and I would bet any amount of money that I know your “holy book” full of murder, vengeance and bloodshed more than you do. I pity your ignorance and blatant hypocrisy.

Additionally, do you realize that christianity blatantly stole, renamed and canonized pagan traditions from the people around them? Christmas, Easter, all saints day etc all came from pagan traditions. There is absolutely nothing original about christianity. In fact, were it not for the pagans of the day, christianity would not exist for you to believe in it.
You know nothing of history, nothing of religious history, the foundations of the Bible or the own core tenants of your own belief system. Christians are not supposed to only associate with other believers. They are supposed to love their neighbors and turn the other cheek while spreading the gospel to the whole world. You’re proposing a return to the principles abused by the church for centuries that demand that all others believe as you do or they should be put to death.
Your idiotic rhetoric echos the voices of the martyrs killed by a loving church. Thousands upon thousands of innocent men, women and children put to death by a religion whose instigator mandated only love, tolerance and genuine compassion. Jesus its nothing like you. You’re a hypocrite, a coward and a dogmatic idiot. Jesus said that not everyone claiming to believe in him is truly saved….that you will know his true children by their fruit and their love. Where its yours? Its your faith so tenuous that one person disagreeing with you can topple it? What are you so afraid of? Maybe you should take a good, hard look at the plank in your own eye before you look for the speck in someone else’s.
And fuck you.
