The Gaytheist Agenda

A video examined by police investigators has discovered 11 more potential victims of the three Hayward Cousins who allegedly shot a man on February 26 because they believed he was gay.

A video made by three cousins from Hayward charged with an alleged anti-gay shooting with a BB rifle last month in San Francisco shows 11 other attacks in a single night, authorities said Friday.
…..
The three were freed on $50,000 bail soon after their arrest. But on Friday, Mohammad Habibzada, Shafiq Hashemi and Sayed Bassam, all 24, appeared in court and were immediately rearrested. They were all being held late Friday on $450,000 bail.

They were returned to custody after prosecutors viewed a video that police found in the three men’s car when they were arrested.

Brian Buckelew, spokesman for District Attorney Kamala Harris, said the video showed the 16th Street attack and BB rifle shootings aimed at 11 other men. Police say the video depicts the suspects laughing as they fire.

I don’t understand why these men are facing any charges. I’m sure they were only acting in accordance with their deeply held religious beliefs. Their freedoms are at stake here!

SAN FRANCISCO — Three Hayward cousins are facing hate crime charges after a man was shot in the face with a BB gun because the attackers believed he was gay, according to San Francisco authorities.

A video of the assault and other similar crimes was recorded by the attackers and is being held as evidence, assistant district attorney Brian Buckelew said.

Mohammad Habibzada, 24, Shafiq Hashemi, 21, and Sayed Bassam, 21, were arrested about 15 minutes after the shooting, when police spotted a car in the area that matched a description given by the victim. The suspects have addresses in Hayward.
…..
All three suspects are facing three felony counts and one misdemeanor. They include assault with a deadly weapon with a hate crime enhancement, discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, and attempted mayhem.

“Here we have a guy, shot in face with BB gun, who could have easily been shot in the eye,” Buckelew said.
…..
Bucklew said “multiple” other victims are on the confiscated video, and the crimes appear to have happened in San Francisco. He said they have not had anyone else come forward, but more charges may be filed if someone does.

Give them a “holy book”, they’ll give you porn in return. The premise is you’re exchanging Smut for Smut. Needless to say that has a good number of believers in a tizzy.

…..
A sign in the University of Texas-San Antonio (UTSA) Humanities building reading, “Free porn: Just trade in your holy books (Bible, Koran, Vedas) for porn” has led several students to take offense, as was revealed when local television station KENS spoke with some of the students on campus.
…..
A third UTSA scholar was shocked upon hearing the news, asking, “Did they really do that,” and adding, “It kind of made we want to cry.” One other student simply stated, “Basically, I disagree. You know, I think that the university setting is basically for learning, and that type of stuff needs to be kept out of it.”
…..

But you are learning, Blanche, you are. You’re learning that some people find your Bible just as depraved as any of the magazines normally reserved for the top rack of the newsstand. It contains, and often condones, things like infanticide, genocide, rape, murder, slavery, incest, and more. It’s not the opus of purity and morality believers claim it to be. (Other “holy books”, like the Koran and Book of Mormon, are just as bad.)

Thomas Jackson, former president for the campus group The Atheist Agenda, believes the “Smut for Smut” program is a matter of fair trade, since Christians have been the most vocal opponents of pornography and because “religious texts are so appalling.”

Many area residents are contacting school officials to express their disapproval.

I find it amusing that the religious people are so agitated over this event. They hand out their “holy books” and other religious materials every day–even to children outside public schools–without a moment’s thought to the fact that others might be offended by them. They don’t consider the fact that what they see as sacred, moral and holy can be perceived by others as offensive, oppressive and even vulgar. Perhaps every campus and public square should have a Smut for Smut event so their eyes will be opened.

 

The Winter Solstice is the shortest day, and longest night, of the year. Coincidentally this is also when Wiccans and other Neo-Pagans celebrate Yule. (Cue AFA screeching about “evil” and “abominations” but where do you think they got their precious Christmas traditions from in the first place?)

So light a Yule log and some candles, hunker down for that extra-long night, and enjoy yourself. If you’re anything like me you’ll be celebrating the fact that the days only get longer from here on out.

The Celebration of Yule,
Winter Solstice and Christmas

Someone decides to abstain from something because it’s not in line with their religious beliefs. That’s commonplace. But in this case it’s a Wiccan teenager sitting out Christmas songs.

Fifteen-year-old Katarina Keen won’t sing along to “Silent Night” or “Listen to the Stars,” two Christian songs planned for her choir’s upcoming Christmas concert at Borger High School. But she will sing “Jingle Bells” and “A Carol in Winter.”

Katarina and her family are Wiccan.
…..
While their Christian peers in Borger celebrate Christmas, the Keens are preparing for one of eight Wiccan holidays, the Yule, in celebration of the winter solstice Dec. 21.

…..
“Choral music has its roots in the church. In order to teach it accurately, you have to teach it from whence it came,” Miller said. “I teach the foundation or the building blocks so these students can go out with a well-rounded foundation in choral music.”
…..

Teaching the children about religious/church music and having them perform it are two completely different things. But considering what I discovered about Miller via Mojoey I’m not surprised he can’t tell the difference.

Of course the comments below the story are very telling. Where are the usual defenders of Religious Freedom? Oh, that’s right. Religious Freedom in this nation applies only to Christians.

 

Excellent, but NSFW (contains some strong language).

10. Have top U.S. military officers, Defense Department officials, and politicians say we’re in a religious war

As many will remember, we couldn’t have gotten off to a better start on winning hearts and minds when Lt. Gen. William “Jerry” Boykin, on his speaking tour of churches back in 2003, publicly and in uniform proclaimed that the so-called war on terror was really a fight between Satan and Christians, making comments like, “We in the Army of God, in the House of God, the Kingdom of God have been raised for such a time as this,” saying that George Bush, who himself had ignorantly called the war a crusade, was “in the White House because God put him there,” and, referring to the capture of Somali warlord Osman Atto, “I knew that my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an idol.”
…..
8. Plant crosses in Muslim lands and make sure they’re big enough to be visible from really far away
…..
But now, in Iraq and Afghanistan, Gen. Schwarzkopf’s common sense policies and priority of keeping the troops safe have been replaced by a flaunting of Christianity in these Muslim lands by Christian troops and chaplains who feel that nothing comes before their right to exercise their religion, even if it means putting the safety of their fellow troops at risk. Numerous reports and photos received by MRFF, like the one below, as well as photos posted on official military websites, show conspicuously displayed Christian symbols, such as large crosses, being erected on and around our military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan.

These large Christian murals were painted on the outside of the T-barriers surrounding the chapel on FOB Warhorse in Iraq. In addition to being a highly visible display of Christianity to Iraqis on the base, these photos were posted on an official military website. It is even more important that the Army regulation prohibiting displays of any particular religion on the grounds of an Army chapel, a regulation that protects the religious freedom of our soldiers by keeping chapels neutral and open to soldiers of all faiths, be strictly enforced on our bases in Iraq and Afghanistan. But, as these and other photos collected by MRFF clearly show, violations of this regulation that probably wouldn’t even be tolerated on bases in the U.S. are not only tolerated but promoted on our bases in Muslim countries.

7. Paint crosses and Christian messages on military vehicles and drive them through Iraq

For those Iraqis who may not see the overt displays of Christianity on and near our military bases in their country, there have been plenty of mobile Christian messages, painted on our tanks and other vehicles that patrol their streets.
…..

6. Make sure that our Christian soldiers and chaplains see the war as a way to fulfill the Great Commission

Iraq is crawling with missionaries and evangelists, both civilian and military, who show little or no regard for laws or military regulations. Why? Because, in their opinion, the “Great Commission” from Matthew 28:19 — “Go and make disciples of all nations” — trumps all man-made laws. It’s hard to find a military ministry whose mission statement doesn’t, in one way or another, include fulfilling the Great Commission.

Campus Crusade for Christ’s (CCC) Military Ministry, for example, whose goal is to transform our enlisted trainees and future officers into “government-paid missionaries for Christ,” is present at all of our military’s largest basic training facilities, as well as the military service academies and ROTC campuses. The “Vision” of another organization, Military Missions Network, is “An expanding global network of kingdom-minded movements of evangelism and discipleship reaching the world through the military of the world.”
…..
2. Make sure Bibles and evangelizing materials sent to Muslim lands have official U.S. military emblems on them

What better way to say to Muslims that the U.S. military is not officially Christian than to have official U.S. military emblems stamped on hundreds of thousands of Bibles floating around Iraq and Afghanistan?

Over the past few years, MRFF has amassed quite a collection of military Bibles — some produced by private organizations and others officially authorized by the military — prominently sporting the seals of the various branches of the military and other official military emblems. The latest addition to the collection is a photo from an officer serving in Iraq, who emailed this photo of a Bible being distributed in Iraq with both the Multi-National Corps - Iraq and I Corps seals imprinted on its cover.
…..
The poster boy for promoting these Bibles is Navy chaplain LCDR Brian K. Waite, who has appeared in uniform at three of the annual campmeetings of Revival Fires founder Cecil Todd, and endorses the ministry, also in uniform, on the websites of both Cecil Todd and his son, evangelist Tim Todd. Just prior to becoming a Navy chaplain, LCDR Waite wrote a virulently anti-Muslim book, in which he held the religion of Islam itself responsible for terrorism, and compared Islam, which he doesn’t even consider a real religion, to Nazism. Not long after his book came out, it was revealed that he had plagiarized much of the book and fabricated some of the endorsements on its cover. Not only does Cecil Todd clearly hold the same anti-Muslim views expressed by Waite in his book, but so does his son Tim Todd. In fact, Waite’s photo and endorsement of those Pentagon endorsed military Bibles appeared right next to the following statement on the younger Todd’s website:

“We must let the Muslims, the Hare Krishna’s, the Hindu’s, the Buddhist’s and all other cults and false religions know, ‘You are welcome to live in America…but this is a Christian nation…this is God’s country! If you don’t like our emphasis on Christ, prayer and the Holy Bible, you are free to leave anytime!’”

1. Send lots of Arabic, Dari, and Pashtu language Bibles to convert the Muslims

Worse than any English language Bibles, even those stamped with official U.S. military emblems, are the countless thousands of Arabic, Dari, and Pashtu Bibles making their way into Iraq and Afghanistan, often with the help of U.S. military personnel.
…..

My questions are;
Why would anybody want to do that?
What possible good could come of it?
If anybody could explain it to me I’d be much obliged.

 

Captain Obvious strikes again.

WASHINGTON - MUSLIMS are perceived by Americans as one of the most discriminated-against groups in the United States, with only homosexuals facing more discrimination than they do, a poll showed on Thursday.
…..
Indeed, the only group that Americans perceive as facing more discrimination than Muslims is homosexuals.

Nearly two-thirds - 64 per cent - of more than 4,000 adults polled last month for the survey said gays and lesbians face a great deal of discrimination, compared with 58 percent who said Muslims did.

Just over half - 52 per cent - said Hispanics were discriminated against, 49 per cent said the same of blacks, and 37 per cent said there is a lot of discrimination against women in the United States.
…..

But it’s all done in the name of “deeply held religious beliefs” so it’s OK, right?

 

I’m constantly hearing about how “militant atheists” are wreaking havoc on the world, and making it intolerable for decent, God-fearing types. Now what exactly is a “militant atheist” and how does s/he compare to a militant religionist? Let’s find out;

 
“Militant Atheists”


 
Militant Christian

Eric Rudolph, also known as the Olympic Park Bomber, is an American far-right radical described by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a terroristwho committed a series of bombings across the southern United States which killed two people and injured at least 150 others.

Rudolph declared that his bombings were part of a guerrilla campaign against abortion and the “homosexual agenda”. He spent years on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives until he was caught in 2003. In 2005, as part of a plea bargain, Rudolph pled guilty to numerous federal and state homicide charges and accepted five consecutive life sentences in exchange for avoiding a trial and a potential death sentence.

Rudolph was connected with the white supremacist Christian Identity movement. Although he has denied that his crimes were religiously or racially motivated, Rudolph has also called himself a Roman Catholic in “the war to end this holocaust” (in reference to abortion).

Militant Christian
Scott Roeder, Christian anti-abortion extremist and accused killer of Dr. George Tiller. Roeder has ties to Operation Rescue and record for possession of bomb-making components.

Scott Roeder Says:
May 19th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Bleass everyone for attending and praying in May to bring justice to Tiller and the closing of his death camp.
Sometime soon, would it be feasible to organize as many people as possible to attend Tillers church (inside, not just outside) to have much more of a presence and possibly ask questions of the Pastor, Deacons, Elders and members while there? Doesn’t seem like it would hurt anything but bring more attention to Tiller.

 
“Militant Atheist”
Brad Pitt declares he is 80% agnostic and 20% atheist. He also states;

“Man, I resent people telling others how to live! It drives me mental!” he declares loudly. “Just the other night, I heard this TV reverend say that Angie and I were setting a bad example because we were living out of wedlock, and people should not be duped by us! It made me laugh. What damn right does anyone have to tell someone else how to live if they’re not hurting anyone? How many times do you think real love comes to someone in a lifetime? If you’re lucky, maybe two or three.”

Brad Pitt gets hate mail from Christians for his stance.

 
Militant Mormons
LDS “security guards” harass and beat two gay men who allegedly kissed one another at Temple Square in Salt Lake City, UT. This video was supposed to contain the alleged lewd behavior the church claims prompted the interaction. But as you can see it only shows suited thugs harassing and beating the two young men whose only offense appears to have been being gay in the presence of Mormons.


 
Now if you think I’ve presented an unfair or inaccurate comparison then ask yourself these questions (and keep in mind that political ideologies are not the same thing as atheism, so don’t pull the Stalin/Mao card);

How many buildings have been blown up in the name of atheism?
How many people have been killed because “no-god” ordered it?
How many people are denied their fundamental civil rights because atheists claim their “deeply held beliefs” require it?
How many wars have been waged in the name of atheism?
How many acts of terrorism have been waged in the name of atheism?

Now which do you prefer?
“Militant atheists”–people who have the audacity to challenge religious beliefs and the status-quo, much like they would challenge any belief or philosophy, and who refuse to remain silent as in days past. “Militant Atheists” who refuse to accept “God said so” or “my holy book said so” as an acceptable, pat, answer to any question, and who demand evidence for extraordinary claims.
Or militant religionists who resort to violence, even murder, to impose their version of “the truth” on others?

 
I know which I would choose.

 

Says Ben Stein on The American Sphinctator:

…..
We have … an entire party, the Democrats, whose primary constituency, besides the teachers’ unions, is homosexual men and lesbian women. I hope it won’t come as a surprise to anyone that a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys.
…..

Poor Ben Stein, still pushing such ridiculous stereotypes. He must have stumbled across a clergy convention and become confused.
