Who's a little defensive?

Answers in Genesis, that's who!

Anyway, I can only delight in the censorship which Answers in Genesis practices on a regular basis and in their feeble attempt to portray themselves as somehow oppressed. Take, for instance, the announcement on the I Am Not Ashamed website that was forwarded to me today, which made me very happy:

TO POST A COMMENT

Due to a small number of atheist activists who have tried to take over the comments section (perhaps with the intent to crash it and take it down) by filling it with large numbers of often vile and blasphemous statements, we will be carefully monitoring submitted comments, including those in which atheists are attempting to link to highly offensive websites. We also have the capability of blocking accounts from submitting comments entirely.

We find it sad that these "angry atheists" (as they been dubbed) are highly intolerant of biblical Christianity. This is not the first time a handful of people have attempted to crash one of our sites and keep Christians from participating in Bible-honoring outreaches. It is a part of their ongoing effort to censor biblical Christianity from the public arena . Christians need to recognize the spiritual nature of this battle and stand unashamedly for God's Word -and with gentleness and respect. Accordingly, we should pray for those who oppose the Lord and His Word, and that includes praying for their salvation.

Believing that this "I Am Not Ashamed" campaign is a wonderful outreach that God has been mightily blessing and should not be hindered but expanded further, we encourage believers to forward the www.IAmNotAshamed.org link to their pastor and church friends and involve them in an effective outreach to an increasingly skeptical (and sometimes hostile) world.

The first myth that needs dismissing is that this is "outreach." This is totally a self-stroking campaign. In fact, it strikes me as a sort of public masturbation for money--there is nothing that is not for sale by AiG. But at least they are shameless.

I guess it goes without saying, "Fuck you," but on the other hand, I like how the group is 1) small and 2) bringing down the entire system! I enjoy the speculation into their collective motives and thereby demonizing a diverse group of people. I generally try to avoid that and I try to extend the courtesy of assuming that Bodie Hodge is an idiot and not a deceitful monster. I like to think that my website is one of the "highly offensive" ones that they are taking issue with; it only means that I am doing something right.

I like the parenthetical, "We find it sad that these 'angry atheists' (as they been dubbed)..." Yup. We done been dubbed, you illiterate subnorms. Of course the statement goes on ridiculously: "...are highly intolerant of biblical Christianity. This is not the first time a handful of people have attempted to crash one of our sites and keep Christians from participating in Bible-honoring outreaches."

Did you see that? They went from speculation about the intent of the atheists to outright assertions of fact about their intentions. This is why you suck so hard, Ken.

And yeah, [sarcasm]you are all about tolerance[/sarcasm]. What about last week's:

"Finding Meaning in Meaninglessness? Atheists Worldwide Gather to Celebrate Something They Don’t Believe In"

or the taunting but somehow triumphantly crowing

Meaningless atheism hits a touchy spot

Nice way to mischaracterize and belittle people. You positively shit tolerance. They are celebrating each other, and they have faith in each other. You suck monkey balls and think that everyone is a rotten sinner. Fuck. You. With a spatula.

Luckily, you close the interesting part of your little post have this howler: "It is a part of their ongoing effort to censor biblical Christianity from the public arena." Bullshit. You've already speculated about motives, turned into a supposed fact, and then, by banning them, bitch about being censored! Holy colossal fuck, Batman! You wrap yourself in a shroud of beleaguered victimhood while throttling dissent. Is it any wonder that you so thoroughly disgust...everyone who doesn't believe what you do?

This campaign, like everything else AiG does, has all the markings of repackaging ignorance at a price.
