Guy is obviously a dangerous criminal. He should be found and incarcerated. But it is really stretching it to try and make this an anti-christian attack It’s quite possible this guy was driving around, saying, “Hmm, what’ll I do with this last bomb…oh, look, it’s those prolife motherfuckers, I hate them, fuck them!” and chucked the bottle. To that degree, it was politically motivated. But he also thought, “There’s Dave and Jennie in front of the Dollar Tree. Cheerleading bitch, have a bomb!” and “Okay, I’m gonna go bomb Steve’s street, asshole always making fun of me in study period, how do you like my bomb!” and so on. It’s kind of like how some Christians tried to turn the Columbine massacre into an anti-Christian thing instead of an anti-human thing. ---

Aren’t there some stadiums in need of energy-saving illumination that we could help with? Think about it, we could be saving the planet. ---

It’s really annoying how they consider not being allowed to force their beliefs onto the rest of us is persecution. Or not being allowed to legally persecute minorities to be persecution against themselves. Logic like that suggests that they’re profoundly hard of thinking. > [@jsgoddess](#): > > It’s just one step short of lions, people. That’s an interesting thought.

A few days should do it. Although we shouldn’t really lump all Christians in together. It’s mainly the born again, evangelical ‘Christian’ Taliban and their Ayatollahs that are the problem. ---

> [@Shodan](#): > > I’ll keep that in mind the next time someone puts Superglue in an abortion clinic’s door lock. The point is that if you find out that every building on the street had its door superglued and one of those buildings happened to be an abortion clinic, you wouldn’t be entitled to point a finger at pro-life terrorists. ---

> [@Imasquare](#): > > It’s really annoying how they consider not being allowed to force their beliefs onto the rest of us is persecution. Or not being allowed to legally persecute minorities to be persecution against themselves. It reminds me of the ants’ propaganda messages in _The Once and Future King_: E. We must attack them in self-defense. F. They are attacking us by defending themselves. ---

> [@Imasquare](#): > > Although we shouldn’t really lump all Christians in together. It’s mainly the born again, evangelical ‘Christian’ Taliban and their Ayatollahs that are the problem. I often wonder what would happen if we grab the ultra-orthodox Jewish, Muslims, Christians and whathaveyou and put them together in a big island somewhere? At the very least it will be entertaining. ---
