Hot tip to CNN: everyone is fleeing the Middle East. In case you hadn't noticed, this is a gigantic problem in the world just now.
Since CNN has got to serve up a stinking dish of Christian persecution, let's inquire as to just where the fuck did Christians think they were wanted in the Middle East. Israel sure doesn't want to see them. Iran doesn't want to see them. What can a Christian possibly do in the Middle East which isn't going to get someone pissed-off.
Somewhere these missionaries get the idea they need to serve the Lord by going to get other people to change their religion to whatever the missionaries believe. In any other endeavor this would be judged a gigantic pain in the ass but they're relatively thick-skinned and they do it anyway.
It's tough to generate much sympathy for a missionary who goes over to the Middle East to start telling Muslims they need to accept Jesus and then gets whacked for it. Just what the hell did they think would happen. Quite apart from anything else, it shows appalling bad manners. Maybe removing the head of anyone who does it is a bit extreme but I can't say I haven't been tempted when there are Jehovah's Witnesses on the doorstep.
These missionaries don't seem to quite understand it's not atheists killing Christianity as the missionaries are doing a peach of a job of it all by themselves. They've turned the faith into a cartoon act for politicians and it's nothing more than spiritual slapstick complete with clown horns and Donald Trump for poo poo jokes.
That Christians flee the Middle East is no surprise at all. That they do it without being covered in tar and feathers is an absolute amazement.
We have no problem with Christianity but we really fucking loathe preachers. They're different from ministers and priests since those ones have their congregations, their flocks, all their chill'uns and they're the spiritual father figures, all of that stuff. Preachers are the fucktards on TV who hustle for money and constantly seek to push out their pseudo-spiritual franchises as far as they can possibly make them metastasize. All the followers have to push and push and push so anyone still in any marginal possession of a functioning mind runs at the sight of them.
We also fucking hate this shit about Christian persecution. You can't throw a rock anywhere in America without having a good chance of hitting a church, they're all over the place. Christianity is, by far, the dominant religion and the only way they could be any less persecuted is if they have carte blanche access to your house so they can come inside to use the facilities whenever they please.
We don't care about all these churches even if we think it's silly to have more varieties of Christian churches than there are colors for automobiles. People like to have all these churches so what do we care.
No-one is burning churches and the more likely outcome is they run out of parishioners and go out of business. That's been a problem for some big churches but atheists didn't do that.
There's no defensiveness for atheism since atheists are kind of a pain in the ass too. Some of them proselytize for the cause ... as if there's some cause. Mostly that just translates to Bible bashing and that just makes our toes itch.
The CNN article is proselytizing as well in its portrayal of the suffering of Christians in the midst of one of the great upheavals of human migration in the last hundred years.
Yah, it sucks for Christians but here's today's completely fucking obvious hat tip: it sucks for everyone over there except the rich bastards who sit in the background.
