Bishop Calls Atheism the "Root of Our Problems"

I feel like he's heard of the Catholic Church, though...

• Bishop Joseph E. Strickland is so impressively counterproductive, he manages to create more atheists by complaining about them.

  Bishop J. Strickland @Bishopoftyler

  We are worried about the wrong “ism”. Racism is immoral & should be shunned but the root of our problems is ATHEISM. Let us repent of our sins & humbly return to God. It we do this racism & every other ill that plagues our society will fall into dust. We must address this root!

  While Strickland was trying to blame atheists for our problems, Rep. Al Green of Texas was reminding people that faith has often been the justification of bigotry.

• Christian “prophetess” Kat Kerr has made it clear what hill she will die on. Kerr’s latest prediction is that media outlets will be forced to say the words, “Trump has legally won the election and he is the President of the United States for four more years.” The only thing she won’t dare predict is the date her prophecy will occur by, for obvious reasons.

  Fellow pea in a pod, Christian “prophet” Jeff Jansen, also refuses to move on from the election, saying Joe Biden is not the president because the election results are not valid in the spirit realm — whatever the hell that means — and that “we’re under military tribunals. The military is in charge of our nation right now.”

• The Society for Humanistic Judaism has a message for anyone who says you can’t be godless and Jewish:

  Humanistic Judaism @humanisticjews

  We'd like a word with your teacher.

  

  Zack Hartzman: Hey Listen Games @HeyListenGames_

  Sitting here during my lunch break thinking about the time 13 years ago a teacher told me I couldn’t be both Jewish and an atheist. . . In front of the whole class. Do note she was not Jewish. Anyways, don’t police students’ identities.

• Right-wing pastor Perry Stone once used God as a goon to break a school bully’s legs.

• After Democrat Rep. Marie Newman, who has a trans child, put a trans flag outside her office, Republican Rep. Majorie Taylor Green (the conspiracy theorist and conservative Christian who opposes trans rights) pulled a high school shenanigan outside her own office and put up a sign declaring how science says there are only two genders. (That’s not what “science” says.)

  Congresswoman Marie Newman @RepMarieNewman

  Our neighbor, @RepMTG, tried to block the Equality Act because she believes prohibiting discrimination against trans Americans is “disgusting, immoral, and evil.” Thought we’d put up our Transgender flag so she can look at it every time she opens her door 😉🏳️‍⚧️

  

  Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene @RepMTG

  Our neighbor, @RepMarieNewman, wants to pass the so-called "Equality" Act to destroy women’s rights and religious freedoms. Thought we’d put up ours so she can look at it every time she opens her door 😉🇺🇸

• Finally, some wisdom for any religious people who keep referring to “angry atheists”:

  Autumn 🌱 @notesfromautumn

  If every atheist you interact with is “angry” you’re probably the common denominator (it’s how you communicate with them) Some of the best, most kind, loving, smart, eloquent people I know are outspoken atheists ... so I’m just going to say it’s a YOU problem.
