What Would Jesus Do?
If Jesus were alive in the internet age, would he be a spammer?
Red State Rabble doesn't know the answer to that, but we do know that some of his followers, the trolls that have infested RSR in recent weeks, have been very busy spamming our e-mail.
Apparently, they think Jesus would have been a spammer.
One of the benefits of being spammed by intelligent design and creationist trolls is that you receive (among many other fantastic offers) e-mails letting you know that "One of our trusted partners has forwarded on your recent subscription request for these FREE Beliefnet e-mail newsletters."
Included in this fantastic offer is a "taste of what's to come," including a link to Belief-O-MaticTM which promises that if you answer 20 questions about the afterlife, human nature, and more, it will tell you what religion (if any) you practice... or ought to consider practicing."
We took the survey, just for fun. Turns out, no surprise, that RSR is a humanist.
Why is it that the creationist and intelligent design trolls are the ones who consistently use profanity -- nothing wrong with that in our view, of course, but it does seem to run counter to the image they like to project of themselves in public -- in their comments on RSR?
Why is it that those who so publicly proclaim their adherence to a higher moral law act in such an abysmally immoral manner?
They claim they did not evolve from a hominid ancestor, but were created in God's image. If that is so, God must now look a lot like the portrait of Dorian Gray.
