Fightin' Woids

Over on Fred Smart's blog, we can read an article, apparently from the People's Awareness Coalition by Dr. M. Sidney Wallace, entitled, Who is God anyway?.

It's not a very good article.

First, it has nothing to do with its title. The question isn't addressed at all.

I was really disappointed --I thought I was finally going to get the answer. (Not!)

Dr. Wallace says some really dumb things in trying to torture logic into his conclusions. As when he says,

The German Nazi Empire had Adolph Hitler as their deity, and rose and fell in a period of less than 20 years. The Communist Empire had Lenin as their deity, and collapsed in less than 75 years, and never really achieved anything of consequence. The Empire of Japan, had Tojo as their man-god, and lasted approximately 40 years.

Wrong, wrong and wrong!

Hitler was an occultist Christian, and the German Nation was actively Lutheran.

The people of Russia didn't worship Lenin, they just stayed alive by trying to fool everybody into thinking they followed him.

And even where the Shintos did consider their emperor to be god incarnate, their dynasty lasted far longer than Tojo's single lifetime in the job.

Dr. Wallace should be forever held up for all to admire as a shining example of what you can expect from someone with a pin-hole perspective.

But none of the above is Dr. Wallace's worst offense in this pitiful attempt at literacy. That would be this:

Some individuals who, for whatever reason are afraid to attempt anything on their own, are terrified with the principles and morals of the Christian religion.

Dr. Wallace says this in lumping together everyone who doesn't want to kiss his ass.

He imputes that all of us who have a problem with having wierdo Christianity shoved in our faces in public places are "afraid to attempt anything on their own".

He cannot be talking about me or thee. If he even looks like he might be, he'd better hope Mongo doesn't hear about it.

And being disgusted with the morality of the Christian religion is not the same thing as being terrified of it.

Churches kill people. They stone them, burn them at the stake, torture them into spiritual oblivion, send them off to die in ideological wars, and otherwise do everything possible to destroy their intellect and stifle their spiritual existence. Their leaders have affairs and molest children in the name of god, they offend everyone around them with their idiotic self-centeredness, and then they blame everybody else for the public relations messes they cause.

Right here in my current home town a local preacher who is loved by all and who almost died of cancer is manipulating people left and right, playing his illness to the hilt in getting the mindlessly sympathetic to volunteer for good things but for all the wrong reasons. In short, the man has no integrity. No wonder he has cancer.

If Dr. Wallace wants to promote his religion, that's fine with me. But he should do it honestly, with objective scholarship, and in support of what it offers, rather than by innuendo, misrepresentation, mudslinging and general obtuseness.

He should find an honorable way to do it, without embarrassing thee and insulting me.

But hey, that's just my opinion.
