In which the pond catches up on a Donners' jihad ...

The pond wanted to start off with that list, which can be found in full, and with active links, at the Skeptic's Annotated Bible here ... the text, blessed be the Xian jihadists and devotees of the Bible, will have passing reference to what follows ...

You see, the Daily Terrorists are obsessed with Islamics ... they were at it again today, with fear, loathing and demonisation ...

That prepared the ground, tilled the soil, made the path clear for Islamophobic Xians of the dashing Donners kind ...

Now the pond will skip the Bolter, as it usually does, because the Bolter has been scribbling that Johnny one note tune about Malware since the day that Malware rolled the onion muncher, and the pond has had an overdose of Malware hate, it all being a cunning ploy to generate sympathy for the Liberal wets, as if anyone could forgive and forget the nineteenth century copper.

Instead, the pond would like to join dashing Donners in his jihad, bearing in mind that collection of quotes from the Bible ...

The pond might begin with a suggestion for an alternative Terror splash: Although the vast majority of Christians around the world and in Australia peacefully coexist, the reality is the Bible justifies war mongering on an epic scale anytime brave Xian warriors of the west feel like it ...and feel it they often do ...

By golly, She really does tell barking mad politicians to get up to all sorts of mischief, with more mischief at the Graudian here - though the pond guesses it's lucky She didn't tell GW that he was the reincarnation of Napoleon. 

But enough preliminaries, because it's time to get down to dashing Donners doing his Islamophobic Xian Crusader thing ...

Now if there's anything that irritates and pisses the pond - and possibly Galileo - off, it's the way that Xians routinely take the credit for the enlightenment and science and the scientific method, when it's a well-recorded matter of history that the church of Rome did its level best to  screw science and enervate the enlightenment and rubbish the Renaissance ...

But our Kev is frequently at the barricades pumping up the volume on the glories of Xianity ... who can forget this outing, featured in the pond, and easily googled, which began thusly 

Now it's not Donners' fault that he filed before the news about the Pellists broke this morning, so let's play fair and note where recent celebrations of the role of Catholicism in our culture have led the church ...

(here for that data).

By golly that's rough.

Now what was that nonsense Eliot scribbled about "if Xianity goes, the whole of our culture goes"?

Never mind, it's back with dashing Donners ...

Uh huh. Well the pond can play at that game, speaking as we have been of Xian fundamentalists of the war mongering kind ...

Well the pond could have shown endless images of the horrors perpetrated so a crusader could stand in front of a "mission accomplished" sign - with the mission still continuing at this very moment - but the pond would rather have a chat with Donners about superstition, witchcraft and hearsay.

This after all, is a follower of Christ and therefore a man given to actual cannibalism, since the Sunday ritual requires the eating of human flesh (not to mention the priest at least getting to sip a little human blood).

And don't get the pond started on all the miracles, the rising from the dead, the loaves and the fishes, the burning and possibly singing bush, the water into wine, and all the rest of the superstitious nonsense, a considerable amount of which was begged, borrowed or stolen from pagan beliefs and pagan festivals.

Why even at this moment in Sydney it's possible to find angry Sydney Anglicans using the example of Adam and Eve as a guide on how complimentary women should behave in the company of their masters.

But let's not worry too much about the similarities between fundamentalist Xians and Daesh when it comes to topics such as gay marriage and homosexuality, let's just keep moving along ... while trembling at the notion that Campion College is an educational model for a time when many have cast primitive camel herding superstitions aside ...

Indeed, indeed. No doubt it was all the fault of cultural-left radicals taking the long march that led to this sort of nonsense ...

Actually it seems like dashing Donners is tremendously eager to rush into that monstrous trap ...

And so it's on to the usual ritual bashing of the different, a tune that Daesh would also be pleased to play ...

Oh heck, why try to play fair, even if Donners wasn't to know, was he?

Why ever would that be?

Never mind, the comments do show that as usual dashing Donners hit his demographic target of bigots, the superstitious and the delusional ...

Well played Bev, and well played Kev for so pleasing Bev ...

And so to a few stills from the archive ...
