The hate jesus crowd is still strong, maybe stronger than when I was growing up. My mother in law still freaks me out when she tags politicians in particular with her brand of Christian-phobia. Like the US in the 21st C has a greater chance to become a Christian Theocracy than we did in the 19th C.

I understand faith-based belief systems taking a beating in the Information Era. It’s easier than ever to pick apart religious doctrine and list all the contradictions, errors, and failed predictions. Being a Biblical literalist has always been a tough gig, and these days it’s nigh unsurvivable.

What puzzles me is this - why do the gleeful internet theologians who love tearing down the Bible simply end their crusade there? They never expand out to other religions. More importantly, they never ask the obvious question “If every word of the Bible isn’t literally true, does that mean it’s worthless?”

A cursory study of available evidence reveals that people living Christian values enjoy more happiness, success, and peace than those who do not. What about that? How did “Every word isn’t literally true” come to outshine “people living and believing this way are considerably more successful and happy”?

In the SJW world, only traditional beliefs are available for attack. No logic in it, it is a movement based on revenge against those that built the Western World.

They will reply that Christians are the most hateful people around. Another liberal hypocrisy is that while they will rip apart the Bible for not being literally true, they then take certain things to be literal when it suits them. They will say Christians want to kill every LGBTQ person because the Bible says those people are living in sin. They say Christian men are all misogynistic because they won't let women have an abortion while in labor.

It has been very interesting to lurk in a forum I used to participate in that was once a nice mix before the far left posters ran everyone else off. Now they can let all their inner hate and formerly contained disdain free without repercussion. It reveals what they truly think and feel.

Sri Lanka Schmi Lanka.

Let it burn.

Not America's concern.
That's my attitude towards everywhere
Like I say, I managed to completely disregard Sri Lanka's brutal 13 year civil war.

If they have another one, I'm quite sure I can manage to totally disregard that one too.

The media can shriek about whatever, it never interferes with Baseball, BBQ and Boilermakers, bet dat.

White supremacist killers or jihadi killers.

IS it ok not to be down with either.

White supremacists have pretty low body counts. The radical secularists are actually far more dangerous.

Neither one bothers me.

Go ahead, shoot the place up, see if I care.

I mostly just hate light and noise pollution and litter.

So long as the terrorism is not ruining the enjoyment of my property, go crazy, knock yourselves out.

If they come near my property, perhaps I'd have to shoot them. Otherwise, not my problem.

I mean, how much more combat ready can I be?

I'm ready to rock, right now, drop of a hat, first sign of terrorists in the area of operations.

None the less, my area of operations does not project much beyond a kilometer or so at this juncture.

If there is a terrorist threat within my AO, I will stand to at that time.

Otherwise, fuck Sri Lanka, I don't care.

Moreover, I am keeping watch.

I'm a retired soldier who is up at all hours of the night.

So I keep an eye on my neighbors property while they sleep.

I can confirm; no signs of terrorist activity whatsoever.

No signs of criminal activity even.

It's dead quiet.

All stations set DEFCON 5. 15 minutes notice to launch on warning.

Otherwise, smoke em' if you got em'
