The Satanic Temple has issued a press release demanding that Fox Business News publicly apologize for the remarks made by one of its commentators.
On January 9, 2014, one of the participants in Fox Business New’s “Mensa Meeting,” Bernard McGuirk, said that members of the Satanic Temple who want to erect a monument in Oklahoma City should be executed.
“They should be able to put the statue up, and then they should be shot right next to it, and then we take it down,” McGuirk said.
Lawyers for the Satanic Temple say that “[s]uch incitement to violence is reckless and possibly criminal. Advocacy of the murder of American citizens based on their religious beliefs is intolerable and sickening. For [Fox Business] to disseminate such a position as part of a televised debate on a national network strikes at the heart of this country’s founding principles and potentially places the Temple’s members in imminent danger.”
As I have mentioned before the Satanic Temple is really a tongue in cheek organization that enjoys trolling Christians. However as irritating as that might be to said Christians it certainly does not justify killing them.
After all the members are really no more fake than say those who follow Scientology or Mormonism in my opinion.
Besides we have a history of people becoming agitated by those who appear on Fox News and then acting out in a violent manner.
Remember?
So yes Fox News should do the right thing and suspend this McGuirk fellow and send a message to others appearing on their network that such talk will not be tolerated.
Or do they really want to have even more innocent blood on their hands?
Sarah Palin should the Satanists be shot?
ReplyDeleteIf there is one organization that embodies the oft-over-sensationalized stereotype of Satanism and ritualistic thinking, it's FOX "News".
ReplyDeleteOkay, I think I finally get it. Christians should be able to kill those that do not agree with them. Thank you Dierdre Imus and Bernie McGuirk. Don Imus, of nappy headed ho fame, was the panel moderator. De Mensia, for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of been the history of Christianity, which is pretty strange considering their mythology of why Jesus was killed.

BREAKING! Oklahoma Judge Rules State's Same-Sex Marriage Ban Unconstitutional
ReplyDeleteChalk another one for proponents of marriage equality.
Oklahoma's ban on same-sex marriage violates the 14th Amendment, U.S. District Judge Terence Kern ruled Wednesday, according to Tulsa World. The ruling is stayed pending an appeal.
A similar decision struck down Utah's ban on same-sex marriage last year, but the Supreme Court granted the state's request to halt marriages pending an appeal.
“Judge Kern has come to the conclusion that so many have before him – that the fundamental equality of lesbian and gay couples is guaranteed by the United States Constitution," said Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin in a statement. "With last year’s historic victories at the Supreme Court guiding the way, it is clear that we are on a path to full and equal citizenship for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. Equality is not just for the coasts anymore, and today’s news from Oklahoma shows that time has come for fairness and dignity to reach every American in all 50 states.”

DeleteCatholic publisher fights ‘militant atheism’ with book blaming disbelief on bad fathers
ReplyDeleteThe president of a Catholic publishing house has said that the “rise of militant, evangelical, fundamentalist atheism” has made it necessary to republish a 15-year-old book that blames absentee fathers for turning their kids into atheists.
According to Religion News Service, the book “Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism” by Catholic psychologist Paul C. Vitz has been revived by Ignatius Press, even though the book was considered controversial when it was first published 15 years ago.
“The rise of militant, evangelical, fundamentalist atheism in our time adds to the pertinence of this book,” Ignatius Press Mark Brumley explained. “Some atheists try to equate atheism with rationality. Vitz’s book shows that atheism, like many belief systems, has significant irrational elements.
In the book, Vitz argues that history’s most “intense atheists” — such as Friedrich Nietzsche and Voltaire — had poor relationships with their fathers that made it difficult for them to form a bond with God.
“We need to understand atheism has a lot to do with our emotional attitudes towards life, other people and a lot of other things,” Vitz told the Religion News Service. “I think that is an important thing for atheists and believers alike to take into consideration.”
“I am certainly not predicting that every atheist is the result of one hypothesis, much less mine,” he said. “I am just saying there is a tendency for more things to go together than you’d expect normally.”
Atheist blogger JT Eberhard recently reviewed the book and noted “how strange this was for me to learn, since I have a spectacular relationship with my father and consider him to be the most admirable man I’ve ever known (or at least, I thought I did).”
“Who knew that moral commandments like killing everybody who works on a particular day (Exodus 35:2) and stories of someone living inside the belly of a fish for three days were perfectly reasonable, which I would see if only my relationship with my father were even better?” Eberhard asked.
“Or maybe Paul Vitz is a sham looking to cash in on confirming the prejudice of other Christians,” he added.

1. What is this "Sitànist" thing she kept mentioning?
ReplyDelete2. I don't think Mensa sponsors anything, so the use here is probably the based on the Latin definition of "mensa" which literally means "meeting"
3. Satanists aren't anti-christian per se, they believe "Do what thou wilt" and some of their members choose to rile up Christians. --like trolling in real life.
2) Sooo, the show was actually called "Meeting Meeting."
DeleteIt's Fox, so I am not surprised at all.
Murder? Really McGuirk? Murder? Now we are advocating murder of citizens that we do not agree with on Fox News? Didn't Hitler do that? Oh yeah...............
ReplyDeleteSo... suggesting that $a®ah™ Payline should eat shit = "reprehensible", but recommending that people who don't believe in the same religion as you should be shot = "totally acceptable".
ReplyDeleteTypical. Way to keep it rational, Teatards.
But, but, but...
DeleteBut........
Okay, I got nothing.
Not even suggesting she eats shit. Just pointing out she made a horrible, uneducated, mistake comparing national debt to slavery.
DeleteI have never met a militant atheist, but there seem to be plenty of militant Catholics out there pretending to follow a man who was a pacifist.
ReplyDeleteSue @ 2:30... Thank you, Woman!
DeleteAnother example of Christians being not really that nice of people.
ReplyDeleteThis blatant racist fucklump is a regular on the Imus show. He's always saying things like this and everyone just laughs it off. Good catholic boy.
ReplyDeleteWell, my "Go to" program for all things "truth" is any show with Don Imus as the anchor. The entire premise of christian faith is the desperate need for "The boogie man" bad guy, a force of evil that'll get you by the ankle and drag you to hell if you don't follow dogma. In other words, there would be no "God" were it not for the "Devil".
ReplyDeleteOne virulently christian tea bag candidate once told a story about dating a devil worshiper. There was an altar and some blood.......=========) over there somewhere.
These same assclowns wouldn't bat an eyelash as a religious service in front of the christian monument. They'd bless themselves and join in communion gleefully.
And what is the "sacrament" of "communion"??? It's the ritualistic re enactment of drinking Christ's Blood and eating his flesh.
Of course there won't be any "apology", it's the land of Oz of "News Reporting"
I've never tried acid but I imagine it couldn't be much more bizarre than it's gotten lately waking each day to this upside down world. I always knew there were some low-thinking, gullible folks around, I just never realized how many.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that there are many more low-thinkers than there always has been. It's just that the un-liberal media realized their base likes to watch people that they can relate to. So they fill the airwaves with morons. Intelligent conversation is boring to Righties.
DeleteI suspect these fools would be quite pleased to see THIS little monument to greed, put up all around America:
