God is awesome

I get the part where cunts like this aren’t representative of everyone who is a Christian.  And, I think that most people — Christian, Atheist, Jewish, Muslim, ambivalent, whatever — I think most people will agree with me about this.  I want to be a lover, but I’m not just going to ignore shit like this.  She represents everything that is vile about any form of fundamentalism, be it Christian or Islamic or atheistic.

There’s a real gem at 20:15+.  ”THOU SHALL NOT KILL,” she quotes.  but god kills, and orders people to kill.  no answer.

There is so, so much to get to in this interview…maybe I’ll deconstruct it more in the coming days.  Likely, I won’t because anyone who has her same religion writes her off as a zealot and anyone who doesn’t have her religion doesn’t care.  Just thought I’d post it in case any one was interested.
