...... for those who say, "God is cruel by killing the infants of Sodom and Gomorrah," let's follow this through now. Suppose that God knows that city [sic] is full of diseases - including the children - because of their just horrible practices with all sorts of things they were doing. Incest and homosexuality and things filled that society with diseases. God's people are going to move into this area. God says, "I want you to kill the whole population for their own good and for your good so this disease is wiped out off the Earth." Then the guy is a smart god to command the execution. It's like me pulling weeds out of my flower garden.

So... 'God' treats certain people like 'weeds' and kills people for 'their own good' and we're supposed to worship this 'him?' Okay...
Or we could be rational and realize that this is just an old messed-up fable, like many other fairy tales and myths, and get on with our lives.
"kill the whole population for their own good"
You really are competely bugfuck crazy aren't you?
"pulling weeds out of my flower garden"
I didn't think that Edgefield Federal Correctional Institution was overly big on flower gardens?
So babies are like weeds and you have no compunctions about killing them without remorse?
Of course, these are POST-born babies, right?
I cannot begin to express the depth of revulsion you evoke in me with this kind of murderous, amoral, psychopathic vomit.
That's all fine and good except for the fact that your God is allegedly all powerful and could eliminate these percieved 'diseases' from their hosts with no harm to the hosts if he so wished. According to your mythology, your God decided that even though he could fix these people it would be better, or perhaps more fun, to just kill them off instead. In essence he succumbed to his bloodlust rather than being compassionate. Afterall we're all allegedly made in his image anyway so any faults we might have can only be attributed to him (dating all the way back to Adam and Eve eating the apple).
You pulling weeds from your garden is an attempt by you to combat an outside force from interferring with your desired results. God's murdering of people is an attempt to fix his fuck ups or a means to entertain himself.
I'm tempted to invoke Godwin's law here... but the last sentence is exactly what the Nazi propaganda talked about. Eradicating weeds, before the German "Übermensch" could move into that area.
It was funny when Hovind was just a weirdo who talked about his scientific worldview without having a clue about science in the first place. But now it's just frightening.
That's dangerous ground, Kunt, given that you and you fundie cohorts are spreading your particularly nasty sickness just as far and as fast as you can.
I've no doubt you'd be whining the loudest if it was ever you who was getting 'weeded'!
Justifying genocide is evil. Especially if done in the name of some mythical supernatural figure.
"Some invisible man in the sky told me to slaughter an entire civilisation in his name." Fuck you! You are nothing but the shit stain on the underpants of humanity.
Seriously, why hasn't Bubba raped this fucktard to death already? I'm against the death penalty, but not the occasional "accident"
God can't cure diseases? He doesn't know about antibiotics? What kind of a god can't perform at the level of a med school graduate?
Doctor Whom: The dieases evolved from from harmless bacteria. WAIT WAIT I mean they adapted to the new post flood environment by eating humans instead of vegetables.
Funny, the Bible never mentions Sodom being disease-ridden, least of all because of incest and homosexuality. (Fun fact: Lot's daughters have sex with him IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY LEAVE SODOM. God never punishes them.)
Wait, why was Sodom destroyed again?
At least Hovind's consistent; he lies about the Bible just like he lies about science.
So, you're in favour of abortion in certain cases, Kent?, are you admitting that kids are not that innocent?
Except that they're PEOPLE! FUCKING PEOPLE! Killing people is not the same fucking thing as pulling weeds out of a garden.
I hope you don't get out of jail, or you might decide to start weeding out the American population.
OK, so we can now officially kill all Fundies, since they have this mental disease...and we have to kill them all for their own (and our own) good?
It's interesting to see that you can so easily compare human beings to "weeds in your garden" Kent. If life is truly that cheap to you, I hope that fate will grant my wish and you'll be struck by lightning and expire slowly and painfully of burn related infections in a third rate hospital bed you feckless bastard.
Yeah we all know this guy. He's a friggin' ass!
If you're comparing these human beings, especially -children- to weeds, then why were the 'weeds' planted in the first place? Your analogy is as repugnant as the rest your argument. At least Jesus' mention of wheat and weeds implied a careful sorting-out to determine which is which. You're implying a full slash-and-burn here. For shame, Kent.

You are talking about children.

This is why FSTDT is more important than just a place to laugh at the delusional. It outlines the twisted mindset of famous religious individuals and educates people as to why you'd have to have a gallon of house bleach sloshing around in your frontal lobes to think that offering these people power and resources is a good idea. I know that the next time somebody points to Hovind as a great moral leader or example of a bold Christian, then i'll be pulling out this quote. Thank you, FSTDT!
If Kent is right (all we all know he isn't!) we should all commit suicide because as he sattes up there incest is bad and well the bible 'clearly' states that Adam and Eve started the human race by having two sons..... so where did these other women come from?!?!?!?!?!
Nowadays only thing getting pulled out of Kent is a 9" cock from his ass after his dailt rape in the prison showers
OMFG did he just compare children to weeds?
And Atheists are the immoral ones? Your group are the sickest bunch of sons of bitches I have ever heard of in my life. If you take over the US I will move to a more tolerant country like IRAN!!
I hope with every inch of my life that you guys will implode into yourselves.
@440536
And pulling the plants, too.
And then sowing salt in your garden as an additional measure. No more weeds growing there!
You , Hovind and your kind are the only diseased creatures that should be weeded out of the gene pool.
fundamentalists delenda est
Oh goody - let's all be judged arbitrarily by an insane, superstitious, murdering psychopath.
I'm sure you love weeding don't you Mr Dino - any chance to bend over.
"We cut down the old grass so that new grass will grow" (Khmer Rouge slogan). Beware of loonies who liken people to garden plants.
No mention of incest re the inhabitants of Sodom, no mention at all of what went on in Gomorrah (the angels never bothered to visit). Of course if it's incest you want, Lot rogered both his own daughters soon after this, fathering both his own grandsons and God did nothing.
Except for the weed not being a sentient human being.
How is it ok for God to kill disease-ridden infants, but it was not OK for Dr Tiller to remove disease-ridden, dead or malformed babies from pregnant women?
And wasn't Sodom and Gomorrah filled with rude people? A harsh "talking-to" would sort that problem, one would think. But oh no, God destroys the whole cities. I guess Hovind wouldn't mind if God destroyed his city due to rudeness. After all, Hovind considers humans as little more than weed.
Reiterating AGAIN, why the hell are you so opposed to abortion, then?!
How about you do us all a favor, Kent, and weed yourself from the gene pool?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
