Marco Rubio’s real disqualification: New video outlines bizarre religious faith — and he wants...
As an atheist, I don't believe, but I try to respect the beliefs of others. I find it interesting though how some atheists have such hatred and disdain of those who are religious. Examples: "Not two weeks into the new year, the frocked and beanied capo dei capi of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, chose to impose upon humanity a book of his own authorship, “The Name of God Is Mercy.” The title alone should have given reviewers cause to dispatch the tome, unopened, straight into the waste bin. “Mercy?” From a purportedly omnipotent Lord who chose to sire a kid whom He subjected to ghastly tortures culminating in execution? Who battered and abused poor Job on a whim? Who ordered a patriarch to knife his own long-awaited son? The name of God, were God to exist, would be anything but mercy." ... "Straightaway we can discount the Bible – a mishmash of texts authored during barbarous ancient times by unknown humans who knew nothing of biology, physics (Newtonian or quantum), the empirical method or a posteriori knowledge, or even why we should wash our hands after using the bathroom." ... "As for treasures, please, Senator Rubio, elaborate. Regarding specifically those treasures you have stashed in heaven – in other words, in the -270.45-degree-Celsius hard vacuum known as outer space – the IRS, along with the rest of us, will be curious to know how you transferred them up there, how you access them, and what the rate of return is. If you cite the Lord as broker and account manager, is He complying with new FACTA regulations (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) applying to banks abroad? If so, please have Him provide documentation, and append it to your tax returns, which we presume you will make public at some point. Now that might be proof of God’s existence!" ... "The crushing banality, the overwhelming unoriginality of everything Rubio says in his commercial evokes something akin to astonishment. Absolutely any convinced Christ-worshipper could have uttered the exact same words, which are nothing but boilerplate pulpiteer’s patter. That Rubio chose to speak thus before the camera shows just how abysmally low the expectations of the faith-addled are: proffer mind-deadening insipidities and sit back and await the hosannas and hallelujahs that are sure to issue from the segment of the public that will not think for itself, but has to be told fairy tales to feel comfortable about voting for a candidate." I am sure the author of this article is great fun at parties.
