She goes on to say in the comments that if they had been Native American, Buddhist or pagan, a prayer gathering would be fine but the fact that they are Christians is what bothers her.

It's nice when they come right out in the open with their twisted sense of justice.

Or injustice, rather.

The last respectable bigotry...

[Vet/Father]

We had reported and cover many stories , about the radical feminists & their communists friends destroying ROTC programs from many (Tech,Jr) colleges,and universities.
These programs can help students learn self-defense, and many other things that could prepare them to response to situation(s) better.

It's time to bring it back, and fund it more.
Send the radical feminists and their fellow(5th column) destroyers to HELL!
There is no need to fund Billion of dollars in Women Studies Programs, because in most universitys now
the ratio in many colleges in the U.S. is 70% females and 30% males.
Many of these males are not american-born, so why do tax-payers support and fund all these hate males women studies programs.

All it accomplish is promote hatred of both sexes and evil, and from those promotions of evil  comes evil acts , so don't be surprise to see these event(s) grow more.

As a pagan I think that their reaction to the prayer group was disgusting...

Here's the quote...

On the other hand, if the women in the picture were Buddhists or Native Americans or pagans or something, then their gathering would be along the lines of "A horrible thing has happened and we are badly shaken and we need to emotionally align ourselves with the Universe again." The problem of evil or of God's intentionality doesn't occur for them, because they don't believe in that kind of god.

First of all, speak for yourself -- I didn't feel any need to "emotionally align myself with the universe" -- actually I'm feeling quite aligned, thank you for your concern -- and I find it ... ODD ... to say the least that she believes that the idea of "evil or of God's intentionality doesn't occur for them" -- because in fact the intentionality of the gods is very much in the mind of most (real) pagans.  The idea that a crazy lone killer is a specific punishment brought by a specific god would be perhaps a little odd, to each their own I suppose, but it doesn't matter since the praying Christians as far as I can tell made no such claim. 

"Jebus" (correctly spelled "Jesus") owes me nothing and I owe him nothing, but I will spell his name right.

People like her aren't offended in little fluffybunny Pagans because those are generally people who are just trying to outrage and offend Christians out of some sense of rebellion. 

Kind of like Unitarian Universalist.  Ya know, if you are an atheist, and just lonely on a Sunday morning...

Real pagans, with real moral beliefs are a different matter.

Yeah - and the whole "Xtian" and "Xian" and "gawd" and "Jebus" ... been there.  Yeah, as an apostate recovering atheist, I know I am giving away secrets of the coven, but they are indeed offered as mocking slights and insults, with that dash of plausible deniability.  Be offended, and if they claim different, know you are dealing with a lying sack of shit who you can dismiss as a liar.  Those aren't atheists, but anti-theists; or as I like to call them, the Secular Taliban.

Real atheists, who are secure in their beliefs and who don't fear the name of something they don't believe in, don't have a problem with spelling out the name, capitalizing it properly, and demonstrating respect.

Yes. Atheitism is not merely the negative of theism. This person is spending way too much time ripping on a religion than offering an athiest view point. I have also come from the raging left/athiest background and you are right that they aren't atheists but anti-theist. Ask them what they have unto themselves and you hear crickets. They have nothing to offer but critisism of someone else's life, like highschool click members laughing at everyone else. That is the glue that holds them together. Eliminate theism and they have nothing.

Here is a little factoid you will never hear from the MSM that I found.  The worst mass shooting in history was carried out by a Korean national in 1982. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woo_Bum-Kon


This won't be discussed in the media, that would get in the way of the gun control agenda.

Maybe I'm not measuring mass murder correctly, but in light of a suicide bomber in Iraq who just killed over a 100 people yesterday, isn't that claim not giving him due credit?  Okay, I see you are saying "mass shooting."  Obviously a specific methodology.  My bad.

And this obviously is not counting machine gunners in a theater of war, just generic, civilian mass murder.  What a horrible record to hold.

ROTC ... These programs can help students learn self-defense, and many other things that could prepare them to response to situation(s) better.

I had thoughts along these lines. You have thousands of men on that campus. Every single one of them unarmed. Further, though, they are not only unarmed in the sense of not having guns or other weapons -- they are psychologically unarmed.

I suspect that at almost any point in the past a group of men would have hunted down and beat the crap out of a guy like running around shooting people especially women regardless of whether they were outgunned or totally unarmed.

A guy even a well armed guy is still vulnerable to a group of men willing to fight and take losses.

I heard that many of the students were laying on the ground when they were shot. Hell, in times past, they would have at least attempted to fight back even the odds were grossly stacked against them.

I think this is evidence of the feminization of america.

[TheManOnTheStreet]

I guess I am just so jaded that I see it so easily... If she wasn't intending to mock, then why did she sex the diety as "she" and "goddess"?  Her intentions, to me at least, are clearly and easily seen.

These people are more predictable than a  doll with ten preset sayings that it spews out when you pull the cord. 

  I think we need a "Feminist Barbie" that has ten preset sayings when you pull the string.  Damn, I would love to make one.  Get a Barbie that talks and figure out how to change the audio.  lol!!

I just keep wondering what would cause someone to go off like this. Some people are just mean, some are heartless, but usually someone who snaps suddenly like this does so for a reason. That never excuses violence, but it explains it and perhaps allows us to keep it from happening again.

It reminds me of that Michael Douglas movie Falling Down. 

People always forget about the first school shootup. It was in San Diego back in the 1980's...it was a 16 year old girl named Brenda Spencer......in the words of Bob Geldolf

"and the bullhorn crackles as the Captain tackles with the question of the reason "why?"
And he can see no reasons..cause there ARE no reasons...what reason would you need to die?
TELL ME WHY? I don't lïke  Mondays"

Looks to me from the little I have seen from the news media that this fellow was actively psychotic.  I wonder if he will get a pass the same way Crystal GM got a pass for her supposed mental illness? 

[Men's Rights Activist]

Here's an open letter I just sent to "a decent reporter" at FOX News, regarding the V.T. shootings.  I copied 17 other email addresses at FOX News:

You are the most decent reporter on the FOX News channel (IMO) so I address this to you, after just watching your show today.

I heard you mention that maybe "the rich" were a target in the shootings at Virginia Tech.  Has it ever occurred to anyone to check out all the cultural Marxist, "race, class, and gender" instruction that goes on at college and university campuses across Amerika everyday.  News media really needs to do its homework for a change and report on the curriculum, and the required books in the classes Cho took at Virginia Tech. 

The Liberal Arts, Humanities, English, Sociology, Polly sci., Psych. are all disciplines where that kind of "vilification," yes "vilification" of certain groups is taught on college and university campus across Amerika everyday, and it's in the text books.  You only need browse the campus bookstores to verify that.  If you don't believe any of this, then you should attend or work at one of those educational institutions (as I did for 16 years, until retirement) and see how "race, class and gender" politics targets for "vilification" everyone who is not a member of a cultural Marxist identity group.

How popular are "race, class and gender" books in curriculums and cultures these days.  Check this page at Amazon books out.

I highly recommend David Horowitz's new book, Indoctrination U to help understand the indoctrination that goes on at college and university campuses across Amerika, the kind of Indoctrination that Cho was quite likely subjected to.

As you can see here, on this feminist website, mourners on campus are fair game for ridicule for their religious beliefs:

Wanna hear something ALSO predictable and funny?

I went and posted there.  I was exceedingly polite and stayed on point.  I first posted there yesterday.  I answered all salient quesiton, responded with facts, was insulted, and then BANNED.

Yep, there's a schocker.  I posted on almost all the front page threads, and by mid day today (my time) my IP address was blocked.

The femnist echo chamber allows NO dissent.  I mean, hell, here we have liberals and conservatives, pro-life and pro-choice people and we argue over issues, but not in feminazi land - no sirree.

Go and read my posts (if you are so inclined) and see how "offensive" I was.

Oh, and Gonzo, I copied from your GO GO & Grill on the letter of the student who wished he was armed - I think THAT really set this chick off.
