A facebook friend just posted this video of some Christian entertainer named Mark Lowrybringing down the house talking about an encounter with an … ATHEIST.
The person who posted it said, “This is great. It puts things into perspective.”
First of all, a life-long Gaither Singer with mega Christian hits isn’t going to live in a “dump” and he’s not going to serve cheap steaks doused in garlic. He obviously thinks that his audience will give him more street cred if he’s a good Ol’ boy just like them. Appearances are the ways of the Yeshua Fog™.
I honestly thought that maybe, just maybe, the video would be a decent perspective. I thought, finally, I’ll be able to have a decent conversation with this dumber than usual person. And then I watched the video.
Dammit.
Lowry perpetuates the belief is ignorance stereotype, and he sells it hard. He’s retired a shovel and taken the drivers’ seat in a tractor digging other believers into deeper holes because they’re going to repeat his ignorance.
When Lowry says, “I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist!” (or whatever wording he used), the groan that emitted from Tina was hilarious.
That pathetic form of an “argument” or some version of it has been floating around since I was getting brainwashed in the 90s.
Did you know you can’t put a watch in a sack, pound it to pieces with a hammer and have it reconstruct itself over 6 billion years all by itself?
