Gordon ****ing Ramsay at Christmas

Even as a devout atheist and increasingly committed anti-theist, I enjoy Christmas. This isn't hypocritical of me because Christmas has as much to do with Christ as Easter does, ie NONE. It was a pagan festival and … well, look, people give me presents so it's okay with me, right?

Catherine Cook Stoops Lower

I didn’t think Catherine Cook could get any worse. Remember, she is the stalwart of the Facebook Creationist pages who, as previously documented here, advocates the beating of children until they obey you through fear.

This blog concerns a thread started on the Origins Resource Association Facebook page by an evolution supporter who I will name only as Evo for privacy reasons that will become apparent. Evo was drawing attention to the continuation of abortion related material being posted following a supposed ban by the page’s incompetent, partisan Creator/Admin Pete Fiske.

I’ll pick up the thread with Catherine Cook saying this:

Evolution Is Now Racist, Apparently

One again we find ourselves returning to the fascinating, if facile, mind of Catherine Cook, she who advocates beating children when they’re young. This time we visit her pumping out her brainburps on the observation that evolution has traced our ancestors back to Africa.

How can they prove “we all came from Africa after humans branched off from their ape-ancestors approximately 5 million years ago?” Isn’t this racism? Actually naming the lesser cultures of Africa less intelligent than whites today? They actually draw pictures of apes that look like under-priviledged black people. Then they defend Hitler and people like Margaret Sanger who had their own species lists! Black African and Jewish were at the bottom of their lists! It’s funny how that still applies today!

Again, let us dissect this tripe and see where it leads us.

Bible Justified Child Abuse

Here is another reason I despise the Fundamentalist Christian mindset.

When speaking of how to raise a child, one particularly vile example of Fundie, Catherine Cook (who I have mentioned in previous posts) had this to say:

Bring up your child in the way they should go, and they will always keep to it. Teach your child to obey you, and to fear you. It protects the child from harm, teaches them what love truly is, and teaches them to trust you and respect autho...rity. It also teaches them wisdom in making the right decisions all their life. They turn out happier, and healthier with the same families of their own. Otherwise they are constantly facing bad consequences, and terrible life ruining situations. This is biblical. Our heavenly Father has the same love, fearing Him leads to wisdom, which is obedience for our own safety and happiness, or else we face the ultimate punishment for rebelliousness.
If we love our kids, we sacrifice ourselves and our feelings for them. If we love our kids, we invest in their future by bringing them up to live independently peaceful. We do not wait until they are older to discipline them with a beating because we lose our tempers! Do not wait to spank them when your mad. Do it right away, when you aren't mad! Spat them boldly on the behind now, when they are little, and you won't have to yell and beat them and lose your patience all the time later. Instead your life and theirs will be peaceful together, and you stop spatting and spanking at a very young age, because they have already learned respect, obedience, and they actually love you for it! All kids love a limit. It shows them you care!
