An Unintenionally Ironic statement

[Nyarlathotep]

This morning on the way to work I was listening to NPR covering the movement of the 10 Commandments monument in Alabama.

The anchorwoman asked the reporter "So how are people reacting?"

The reporter replied "Well they are singing and praying but it doesn't look like anyone is going to do anything irrational."

Nothing irrational? Really? I don't know about the reporter but I would be inclined to call the whol praying thing irrationa, but that's just me......

That's funny.

Lately I've noticed similar nuggets of irony in what people in the media say, and it usually always revolves around religion or religious topics. Maybe it's even more irony that religious folks don't recognize the irony.

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

I like the fact that none of their prayers made a lick of difference - so the Christian Defense Coalition has lawyers to do the work that God himself couldn't do.

If I were to presume that there was a god, I would have to assume that he actually does not want his commandments displayed in an American courthouse.

From John 3:36, the bible says something along the lines of "The wrath of God is on all unbelievers".

Then somewhere else in the bible it says something like "God will spare his wrath against all who have not been predisposed to Christianity".

It would make sense to me if Christians never told anyone about Christianity, seeing as how that would do the greatest good... but what am I saying, religion doesnt make sense :wink8:

Instead they seem to be far too eager to point out what's wrong with everyone else, while trying to squeeze their way into the best position for heaven.

I've already reserved a VIP spot in hell, where I'm going to be organising a BBQ with a bunch of friends. You're invited if you bring something to the party.
