This Is An Outrage!
February 17, 2010 by Brandon 2 Comments
Rachael Harrington of the Sacramento Area Coalition of Reason probably isn’t very happy today. A billboard which the Coalition of Reason paid to put up on a stretch of road was vandalized; the original message was inoffensive enough, stating, “Are you without God? Millions are.” However, someone felt the need to tag at the end, “ALSO LOST?”
Now, I’m not so much concerned about the actual vandalism. Honestly, I don’t really expect anything less of the moral religious community. I think what really is getting me is the outrage at atheists over their annoyance that their property was vandalized. Yeah. You heard that right. There are people somehow spinning this, making the atheists the bad guys because they’re annoyed that someone ruined their billboard, calling atheists a bunch of whiny hypocrites that can dish it out but can’t take it.
Can’t take what? Destruction of property based on your insecurity about a message that isn’t a criticism of you? A message that isn’t even directed at you? Says a lot, if you ask me.

What is Fractal Wrongness?
The state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. That is, from a distance, a fractally wrong person's worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you zoom in on any small part of that person's worldview, that part is just as wrong as the whole worldview.

I wonder how the JesusMob would feel if we drew a fangs on picture of Jesus that they posted. Or scrawlled something secular on one of their insipid \"jesus is the Reason for thr Season\" billboards.
They never seem to beable to view things in their totality. Yet when it directly affects them in the same way they get all animated. The very definition of hypocrisy.
Well hump, if someone drew fangs on Jesus I would assume they would suspect Twilight nerds first.
I’m surprised at the lack of grammar fundies seem to have lately. Between the teabagger signs and using all caps with grafitting. It’s like the home school boards are letting these kids down.
