Whose Ass Would Jesus Kick?
Gotta love those “thou shalt forgive seventy times seven” Christian types. Armenian and Greek Orthodox monks brawled at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. That’s right, men of the cloth chose to bust knuckles at the very place they think Jesus was buried (nevermind it’s just a tourist trap with not a shred of proof that it had anything to do with Jesus). Anyway, here’s a link to the news article (the bit about the ladder is the funniest part).

Yep. One day there will be a fire there or some major structural collapse. People will die just because a bunch of people who believe in the same myth can’t agree on some really minor details. They are all afraid that agreeing to anything one of the other sides says will somehow lead to one side having a better claim on the building.

I LOVE the part about the ladder! But so what about a fire escape? People die there every day because they can’t agree on which nonsense is THE nonsense.

It just amazes me that these people are not able to step back and rationally critique their broader behavior. But that would require critical thinking skills, which is the crux of the problem with their superstitious beliefs in the first place. Their belief systems have so corrupted their minds that they do not have the basic empathy skills to understand another person’s perspective. The question is, were their minds ever given the opportunity to develop these skills? I think not. Self righteousness and absolutes were drilled into their heads as impressionable children.
