Antichrist

For centuries SkyPilots have been warning us about the antichrist. The other day I had an epiphany, it isn't just one person, it's millions, all those bible-bangers that support the FuckingRepublican party and all their unchristlike policies. From what I remember of my confirmation classes (yes, I did receive religious indoctrination in my miss-guided youth), nowhere does it say punish the poor, let them starve!!  Yet that is exactly what the Reich-Wing policies advocate.

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

― Mahatma Gandhi

I will admit there are some that try to follow what christ taught, but you very seldom hear about them. You do hear ad nauseum from the vocal radical right. And all the fucking politicians that are pandering to them. (Don't the politicians realize there are fewer and fewer bible-bangers everyday??)

I guess I can take heart in the fact that more and more people are having less and less to do with organized religion. Then again, who would want to have anything to do with groups that are so mean spirited with the attitude of "I got mine, FUCK YOU!!" Also the cult-like thing about as long as they don't belong to your group it's all right to fuck over them. It never occurs to them that if members of your group are willing to fuck over others, maybe they would fuck over you too!!

What really scares the fuck out of me are the bible-banging gun-nuts. The ones drinking the NRA kool-aid!! I know several that think Obama is coming for their guns, but the NRA and god are on their side!!

Another thing that has had me scratching my ass is why are christians so afraid of dying?? You'd think a true believer would be like Fred Sanford, "I'm coming Elizabeth!!"

NRA FAIL!!!!

From Fortune magazine; June 15, 2015
Colt Defense LLC, maker of firearms from the legendary Peacemaker pistol to the M4 rifle used by today’s U.S. Army, said late Sunday it’s filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, two years after losing a key Army contract for the M4.

NRA FAIL!! They had one primary purpose for the last several decades and the NRA failed. That job was to scare the shit out of people enough that they would rush out and buy more guns to keep the gun manufacturers in profitability!! While they have managed to create shortages of ammo, looks like maybe the market for guns has been saturated. Most of those that want to buy guns have bought guns.

For many years now various state DNRs and groups that are devoted to hunting have been saying the number of hunters is declining. Younger people are not as interested in hunting as their parents and grandparents were.  Even before the stories about less hunters began circulating, the gun manufacturers must have seen the handwriting on the wall. That's when they started giving the NRA boatloads of money and the NRA started the scare campaign about the "ebil gubmint" is coming for your guns. The BULLSHIT about how Obama is coming for your guns is just the latest installment!!

Tempted to say, "You had one fucking job and you failed". But I won't.
