nonplussedbyreligion:

Fundamentals…

To Liberal Christians:  Because the people on the fringe, the ones who allow their children to die rather than taking them to the doctor, the ones who “Thank God for dead soldiers,” the ones who reject science and truth and teach their children that evolution doesn’t happen and the Earth is 6,000 years old, the ones who decry homosexuality as a demon curse…  these are people of perfect faith in your holy book.  

Just because you have enough sense to reject the more idiotic parts of the Bible, doesn’t make them disappear from the Bible.  YOU have to claim these people as believers in your religion.  Because they are.  The fundamentalists follow the Bible better than you do.

Of course, you’ll argue, “No!  Jesus is about LOVE!  Christianity is about LOVE!  These people do not represent my faith!”

But the thing is… they do.  And that’s your problem as a Christian, not ours, as atheists, for pointing it out.  ~JJ

About

Avatar I'm JJ. Female. If you hang out with me you'll get thoughts on atheism, secular parenting, ethics, feminism and politics (liberal, pro-choice) and occasionally excerpts from conversations with my 8-year-old son (there's a link below for most of the conversations and parenting posts). I don't accept anonymous asks, but if you request a private response, I will oblige. Also, because I get asked a lot, my url comes from the phrase "Teach children HOW to think, not WHAT to think." That's my parenting philosophy in a nutshell.
