In the wake of the legislative win for gay marriage in Iowa last week a professional Christian group called “Morality in Media” released a memo declaring that the push for marriage equality is the reason for the recent mass murders that have taken place.
The punch line, if you will:
It most certainly is not my intention to blame the epidemic of mass murders on the gay rights movement! It is my intention to point out that the success of the sexual revolution is inversely proportional to the decline in morality; and it is the decline of morality (and the faith that so often under girds it) that is the underlying cause of our modern day epidemic of mass murders.
Of course it wasn’t his intent. He just said that gay marriage is immoral & that the acceptance of gay marriage means we’re witnessing “the decline of morality” which is the reason we’ve had so many mass murders lately.

Back in October of last year then senator of North Carolina Elizabeth Dole was behind in the polls and did what any Republican politician would do in her spot. She went on the attack.
Her method of attack was to ‘expose’ the fact that she had caught her challenger Kay Hagan not just associating with atheists, but taking money from atheists. After a press release failed to garner much, if any, attention, she and her crew decided to release what’s become known as the Godless ad (viewable here).

We atheists get accused of a lot of things. Usually it’s just the same tripe repeated over and over again ad nauseum. Every now and then though a religious group has an original thought. It’s a stupid thought, but it is original.
The religious group this time is the Free Market Foundation here in Texas. According to the Texas Freedom Network, this group sent out an email with the subject of “Atheists Attack in Texas” listing things we atheists here in Texas are allegedly doing. Somewhere in it was this accusation of sorts:
Another big issue is taxes. We’re all tired of our property taxes being raised each year without being allowed to vote on this issue. We are working hard to support legislation to cap raising appraisal taxes more than 5% unless approved by local citizens. These tax increases must stop!
What in bloody hell does that have to do with atheists? Beats the shit out of me, but as I said above, it is an original thought. Surely that’s worth a smile or two?
