So, really, you should hope for secular rats instead of religious rats.
I know you insist on mocking religion, but the facts, particularly those in the 20th and 21st century, defend religion.
What do Hitler, Mao and Stalin have in common? Secular nationalism




And second, for Christians who think they are so smug in their beliefs - we have strayed far from Christ.
Here are two pieces of chilling scripture I thought noteworthy of mentioning. There is a God in heaven who is alive and active, and he will not be mocked; he will accomplish his purpose.
Isaiah 46: 9-11
I will start with 8: Remember this, fix it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels.
9. Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.
From the east I summon a bird of prey; from afar-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do.
And Amos 8: 11-12 “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land – not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.”
If of course your gray matter is unable to see any similarities between a "humerous" video like this and some of those tendencies then I recommend that you not drive or operate heavy machinery. You could be deadly just behind the wheel.
Naturally, you choose to insult me. Just as Jesus would have done, right? Shame on you!
I didn't insult you. Not if you can see the similarities, which I'm sure you can.
As for insults, perhaps it's not my grey matter in question here. Aren't the opinions of others valid?
Of course other opinions are valid. However, when they support invalidating other humans as pesty rats in need of elimination and find nothing but humor in it, should they not be questioned?
Oh I know it's easy to write it off as satire but it's hardly safe to. Did you catch the title of the video. Creedocide? The "cide" words (edited to add: homocide, genocide, suicide) don't usually represent funny, cute and fluffy things. That may be due to the fact that the suffix "cide" means "to kill or cause death." There's so much wrong with that video and if it were about atheists or pagans, or any other group of individuals, believe me, I would feel the EXACT same way.
My guess would be that you have silenced whatever inner voice might still be at conflict with your integrity (at least I pray you still have one) by sufficiently blanketing everyone under the religious umbrella with a "one size fits all" mentality. You no longer have to consider them human. They're monsters, right? Undesirables. Troublemakers. Rats.
Or you could have foolishly convinced yourself that such mockery is completely harmless. Some mockery is. Some can even be funny to the religious. Comparing all religious individuals regardless of their individual personality traits and behavior to rats and providing imagary that dehumanizes them is quite simply bigotry. There are many people still out there who are hungry for the fuel to hate. (Need I mention again the historical figures already discussed in this thread) Only an idiot would conclude that there isn't.
So if your goal is to debase an entire subset of humanity simply because they believe something other then you then Bravo! You have been successful. If that was not your intent then that leaves only one other alternative which is mentioned in the last statement in the paragraph above.
If that is truly your goal I suggest that you reexamine your methods of influencing people and construct some tools that might actually have a shot at achieving it.
How can so many adults be so irrational when it comes to supernatural and superstitions. Blows my mind.
