  • Top Ten Christian Bashing Incidents of 2008
     OP - January 07, 2009, 04:47 PM

    The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission (CADC) has prepared their Top Ten list of the most outrageous Christian bashing in America in the year 2008. The CADC is an organization that works to advance religious liberty for Christians, and believes that Christians are being persecuted more frequently at work, school and in the culture because they stand for faith and values.  CADC Chairman and CEO Dr. Gary Cass says that "It is time for the Christian bashing to stop and for Christians to no longer be treated like second-class citizens.  Anti-Christian bigotry is real and growing. Those who engage in it should be exposed and called to account."

     

    The list, which you may view below, seems to be fairly encompassing, taking in all the incidents that stand out to me over the past year.  What do you think?  Are there any incidents not on here that you think should have made the list?

     

    #10: Jack Black Musical Video

    In a short video posted on FunnyorDie.com entitled, "Prop 8 The Musical," an all star cast of Hollywood celebrities perform a low budget musical farce that defames Christ, mocks Christians and distorts the teaching of the Bible. Jack Black played the lead role of Jesus.

     

    #9: Bill Maher Gratuitously Attacks Pope

    Bill Maher, host of the HBO program Real Time, made light of the Pope during his recent visit and the tragic sexual abuse scandal. Maher said, "Now I know what you're thinking, Bill. You can't be saying that the Catholic Church is no better than this creepy (radical Mormon polygamist) Texas cult. For one thing, alter boys can't even get pregnant. But really, what tripped up the little cult on the prairie was that they only abused hundreds of kids, not thousands all over the world. Cults get raided; religions get parades... If you have a few hundred followers and you let some of them molest children, they call you a cult leader. If you have a billion, they call you Pope."

     

    #8: ESPN Anchor Dana Jacobson's "F--- Jesus" Remark

    Speaking at an ESPN corporate event in Atlantic City, N.J., to honor ESPN Radio personalities Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic, Dana Jacobson let go with a steam of vulgar remarks; "F--- Notre Dame," "F--- Touchdown Jesus" and finally "F--- Jesus." Jacobson was suspended for a few days for the incident.

     

    #7: Minnesota University Professor Desecrates Communion

    A Biology Professor from the University of Minnesota, Paul Zachary Myers, recently desecrated a consecrated communion wafer from a Catholic Mass. Meyer's has also asked people to steal the Eucharist for him in order that he might desecrate it and display it on his blog.

     

    #6: Religulous the Movie

    Bill Maher released a very shallow, pseudo-intellectual documentary entitled Religulous. The movie did not cover any new intellectual ground. It simply raised the old attacks on the faith. Maher studiously avoided being fair and did not allow for legitimate Christian answers from any leading Christian intellectuals.

     

    #5: Chaplains Fired for Praying in Jesus' Name

    Chaplains for the State of Virginia are being denied their right to pray in Jesus' name. Six chaplains were fired for continuing to pray in Jesus' name. Earlier this year in Virginia, Rev. Hashmel Turner, a city councilman in Fredericksburg, was told by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that his prayers during city council meetings that ended in Jesus' name will continue to be banned.

     

    #4: Colorado Law Criminalizes the Bible

    SB200, a Colorado state bill recently signed into law, criminalizes the Bible. Section 8 of the bill entitled "Publishing of discriminative matter forbidden" makes publishing the Bible illegal because it contains anti-homosexual passages. This is part of a larger effort to criminalize the expression of certain opinions and beliefs.

     

    #3: Barack Obama Defames Christianity


    According to research into President Elect Obama's own statements about faith, and an examination of Obama's position on moral issues, CADC has determined that by any biblical and historic Christian standard, Barack Obama is not a Christian, although he claims he is a "devout Christian."

     

    #2: Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin Is Attacked

    Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, came under sharp attack by some in the mainstream media because she self-identifies as a Christian. The Washington Post published a cartoon by Pat Oliphant mocking Palin because she has a background as a Pentecostal/Charismatic Christian. A suspicious arson fire at Sarah Palin's home church recently caused over $1,000,000 in damage.

     

    And finally, the #1 Christian Bashing Instance in America for 2008...

     

    #1: Radical Homosexuals Assault Prop 8 Marriage Supporters in California

    During and after the November campaign stories flooded in of pro-Prop 8 signs being taken, people verbally and physically assaulted, church property and private automobiles vandalized, and person's jobs and pastor's lives threatened simply for exercising their right to campaign and vote in support of traditional marriage.

    Nothing wrong with Christian bashing if all religions are equally bashed. I'm an equally opportunities basher of religions.

    Makes me laugh..."theists" should be allowed to say whatever they want, yet those who disagree are "wrong" and should be punished.   Roll Eyes

    If theists are so great, they should show it through personal behavior. Stop talking, shut your drooling pie-hole, man(or woman) up, and lead by example.

    And if you act like an asshat, expect to receive the same treatment. Your "religion" doesn't make you better than anyone else.

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I remain.

    They are pathetic, as if anybody outside their circles would take their skewed opinions seriously. Of course it was just "their innocent right to campaign in support of traditional marriage."

    It's a shame God sits up there on his throne and does not lift a finger to stop these bashing incidents but leaves it up to his flock to protest.

    Maybe he's busy thinking up where the next Tsunami would hit that would kill hundred's of thousands of innocent children.

    Morris dancers aren't a religion. I think you've just wondered into the realms fascism. I?m not sure what believe system the Morris Dancers believe in but I sure it's not a recognised religion.

    Yep, whack 'em.
    It's just that I've got this irrational phobia about fat, middle-aged bank managers with knotted hankies on their heads, prancing about with sticks, bells on their legs, waving more hankies, and then sitting around guzzling beer with self-satisfied expressions above their double chins.

    The problem is something like 89% of the 300 million Americans are certain Jebus is coming back to hurl all the sinners into the pit and teleport his followers to heaven to view the holy genocide in comfort. So "Their circle" is a fucking big and deluded one.

    Bill Maher is pure class, I can't believe they attack Obama though! Basically they are saying Obama isn't a partisan Biblical literalist so by default he is attacking Christians! Are these people pathetic or what?

    Also how un Christ like are American Christians? Gun owning, pro war, pro death penalty wealth hording people with an uncanny nack for talking about gays all the time.

    I think Hitchens put it best when he said

    "Whenever you here some pastor thundering on about the evils of faggotry he is the first to be caught down on his miserable knees in a public toilet"

    Very good movie if you like the documentary type. I think it will be released in the UK in April. Probably in time for Easter!

    And here's an appropriate cartoon.

    Great cartoon, very apt. That's the thing with religious tolerance is it gives monotheists free range to admonish and condemn people and we mustn't tell them to cork it because we have to respect their beliefs no matter how obnoxious.

    They can condemn living human beings but we must refrain from condemning their fairytales or we become the bad guys. It's all arse over tit

    If there is one good thing that has come from the rise of Islamism is that it has almost removed this shield of tolerance. More people are prepared to openly say your beliefs are all old bollox.
