America | The Chinese are going to beat us... (Part 4)

These are the people we elect to "represent" us... A frighteningly large number want lunatics like this to be elected to our highest office.

America | The Chinese are going to beat us... (Part 3)

Watch the behavior and actions of a woman who starts her rant with "God is on top!"... These are the people in our country that vote... The rest are too busy watching "Jersey Shore".

Killing Bin Laden UnChristian, Illegal?

The user "LiberalViewer" over at YouTube raises some interesting points about the recent killing of Osama bin Laden, and our President's faith. Whereas I personally have no issues with the fact that Osama bin Laden was killed, I also do not claim to be a god fearing Christian...

 


When Bill Maher on HBO's "Real Time" referenced President Barack Obama's recent "60 Minutes" interview to argue that killing Osama Bin Laden was not consistent with Christianity, it also raised the question of the legality of going into another country and shooting an unarmed man in the head, as discussed in this video.

The clips used of Bill Maher come from the New Rules segment on HBO's May 13, 2011, broadcast of "Real Time with Bill Maher" currently available online at http://itsh.bo/jOfFuA

So, what do you think? Does supporting the use of military force in self-defense disqualify someone from calling himself or herself a Christian?

Does the September 2001 Congressional authorization for the use of military force and the self-defense justification make it legal for the U.S. to enter another country, without their consent, and kill Osama bin Laden?

About that whole rapture thing...

It seems at least one church found a positive way to get their message out, after yesterday's big let down...

How will you celebrate the rapture?

If you're in the Seattle area and looking for something to do before the earthquakes and brimstone strike, I highly suggest you check out the Countdown to Backpedaling: The End is Nah! party in Tacoma.



It's at Dorky's Arcade (754 Pacific Avenue) from 8pm to 1:30am, featuring a bunch of musical guests, including an awesome nerd-core skeptical rapper, Three Ninjas. It's $10, which is a very fair price to spend judgement day hanging out with godless people listening to nerdy music in an arcade. I have it on good authority, a lot people from the Seattle Atheists, Seattle Skeptics, and Tacoma Atheists are going, so it should be a blast. I wish there were some way I could go, but I am no where near Seattle, and I am not predicting there will be anything nearly as cool held anywhere near me.
