Chairman Mao was a communist, which can only mean one thing, that all communists murder their own people\u2026.. and lots of them.<br \/>\nJoseph Stalin was an atheist. Stalin is credited with murdering in cold blood around 20 million people which means that all atheists are mass murderers as well.<br \/>\nRichard Ramirez the \u201cnight stalker\u201d murdered 13 people and as a Mexican it was proof that all Mexicans are serial killers.<br \/>\nJeffrey Dahmer murdered and ate 17 men and boys, and since he was gay, proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that all gay men are murderers and cannibals.<br \/>\nAileen Wuornos killed 7 men in Florida, which proves the fact that we all suspected, that all women are serial killers.<br \/>\nNow I\u2019m curious, does any of that make any sense to anybody out there; hopefully not? The point was that every group has freaks, idiots and psychopaths. Yesterday one of these psychos reared his ugly head in Norway.<br \/>\nAnders Behring Breivik blew up a federal building and then made his way over to a youth camp and began to assassinate 60 plus kids one by one with a rifle. This nutcase then was described in the press as a \u201cChristian fundamentalist\u201d?<br \/>\nReally? I have been a Christian my whole life and have read the Bible extensively and yet don\u2019t remember the verse, \u201cand Jesus made his way out from the multitude, and when he found a nice spot, began to shoot them with arrows until they were dead\u201d.<br \/>\nThe guy apparently hates Muslims and to prove it, he decided to murder a bunch of non -Muslim kids from Norway. So he is either a psychopath, or a moron. I bring this up because Christians always denounce this evil, that\u2019s right relativist, EVIL in human nature even as the Norwegian government is already seeking psychological counseling for this poor misguided human.<br \/>\nI want you to keep your eyes open though please to the articles, commentaries and op-eds that are coming that will denounce Christianity as dangerous and evil. Watch the bandwagon as anti -Christian bigots, the same ones that refuse to denounce Muslim fanatics as such, begin to attack my people and our faith.<br \/>\nWhen it happens just remember the statistics I sighted earlier. It will make it easier to single out the illogic of the broad-brush and be able to identify the hate filled bigotry towards Christians that will emerge from this.<br \/>\nI can\u2019t stop it, but at least I can expose it before it happens. Besides, it makes me look like a prophet, which is good in my religion!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some facts you may not know to brighten your day.

From his Nashville stronghold, Stine is mounting his crusade against these hypocrisies, all of which are explored in his highly anticipated 4th album\/DVD, aptly titled \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWUSSIFICATION!' \"You know what offends me?... Offended people,\" says Stine. A staunch supporter of first amendment rights and foe of political correctness, Stine asserts that rights should be universally applied. \"In a country with guaranteed rights to freedom of religion, its citizens are constantly trying to make faith in public spheres illegal, I am offended by that contradiction and want to talk about it as a comic.\" The strength of his conviction about our freedoms can be found in many places on WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c from \"Merry Christmas Too!\" (the right to celebrate religion) to \"At Least We're Not France!\" (the responsibility to take action as a country) to \"Spank\" (the ability to discipline our children the way we see fit). What would cause the wussification of Brad Stine? \"I hope that nothing ever wussifies me to deny my own personal beliefs,\" he says. \"Brainwashed wussies have been taught that standing up for yourself and defending your personal point of view makes you a close-minded hate monger.\" Stine stops short of defending his point of view as the ONLY one, adding \"...one must also be respectful of dissenting belief while supporting their own.\" He is, after all, an inclusive figure who trains his comedy to attack ideas, not the people who embrace them. Stine's faith forces him to acknowledge the respect and dignity of all\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 even the wussies with whom he disagrees! Stine models his approach to comedy after legendary practitioners that he has known and loved over the years. Despite George Carlin's disdain for theistic beliefs, he has been a big influence on Stine. \"I always enjoyed Carlin for turning the tables on culture. He is an excellent writer that has endured for decades.\" More current comedic touchstones are Brian Reagan, Paula Poundstone, Jim Gaffigan and Monty Python, among others. Fear not, true believers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c with his brand new album, Brad Stine is here to save the world from WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c one politically-correct, offended person at a time!\"","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/author\/bstine"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/223"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":112,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109\/revisions\/112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
