I am a liberal and if you read this blog you might even label me as a “Social Democrat” rather than a mere Democrat. I really enjoy watching Keith Olbermann but I wish he would demonstrate some of that notorious “liberal toleration” for Christianity! Make no mistake about it religion can some times go on a “masochistic binge”. But I will leave writing on that to my other website www.AquarianFreeThinker.com which I have left unattended for too long.
Keith Olbermann and many PC Liberals seem to automatically attribute hatred and bigotry to Christianity while turning their backs on the death camps of Stalin, Hitler and Mao. Please you don’t have to tell me that the above are not representative of all atheists. I know that. My point is why not give Christians the same respect. The date that Christmas was in the summer is not news to me. When I was just a young boy we attended the NYC Planetarium and they said the same thing about a conjunction of planets occurring in the late spring or early summer. December 25th was latter chosen to compete with the local pagan celebrations. Indeed some Christians (our own pilgrims) refuse to reconize Christmas. My point is that this astronomer’s statement is old hat.
Recently Keith Olbermann had a skit on that made fun of Jesus. I enjoy seeing clerics being made fun of but I resent when the figure is Jesus Christ.
The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.
I wonder if he would place a similar comedy skit on concerning Mohammad? Yet fundamentalist Islam is far more condemning of Gays today than even Baptists! I believe the masochism that is displayed in Christianity sometimes is not inherently Christianity but something I have termed in my other website as “Original Masochism”. This is inherent in humanity.
When it surfaces in religion you have the doctrine of “Original Sin” or what I like to call “Apple Theodicy”! When Original Masochism occurs in politics it is called:
POLITICALLY CORRECT LIBERALISM!
When Hal Lindsey was writing his books about the end of the world due to the second coming and some Christians where in literal orgasmic ecstasy at the projected troubles of humanity due to wars, economics and pestilence, PC Liberals where “celebrating” the end of humanity do the wicked wicked American and European bourgeoisie middle class consumption of the earth’s resources. But looked what happened! Their prediction of that oil production would be sliced in half by 1980 and the earth would face massive population decreases just did not occur. I remeber durning the first Earth Day we read “The Population Bomb” as if it were the new “Scripture” predicting the doom of a decadent bourgeoisie middle class world!
Politically correct liberalism, like fundamentalist Christianity is one MASSIVE GUILT TRIP! But instead of guilt from being the descendants of Adam and Eve with the apple it is “guilt by being a middle class American. OH MOTHER GODDESS CAN YOU BELIEVE I SAID THAT! Both sides would rather relish in masochistic powerlessness rather than deal realistically with the world’s problems.
Thank God Obama kept the Democrats’s masochistic tendencies in check else we would have lost the elections as the Republicans always seize on that! So Keith Olberman you are a cool dude and I watch your program a lot. But chill out with your hatred of Christianity. Why not poke jokes at Mohammad or is it because you know most Christians have now evolved past the stoning and witch fires! Christians would not issue a “fatwa” against you.
I wonder what would happen if Keith Olbermann had taken such liberties with the founder of Islam in the skits he showed on his show.
