Deleted Comments: You Secular Porn Addicts Are Destroying America And Have Never Read Shakespeare!
Thou hast in thy skull no more brain than I have in mine elbows.
Hey-ho, Wonkers, so much pure Stupid has been piling up in the ol' Dear ShitFerBrains bin that we'll probably get multiple posts out of the past couple weeks' derp. Let's get right to a true scholar who is morally and intellectually superior to all of us, one "AugustineThomas," who gave us a good dressing down for our many failings. His Jeremiad was sparked by our post on the Trump Inauguration's trouble finding entertainers,except for the Rockettes (and even some of those high-kicking dancers aren't crazy about the gig). This news was quite welcome to "AugustineThomas," who was happy the Inauguration would be untainted by purveyors of filth:
This is good for America. We don't need Obama's pop culture perverts to pervert our children and playing at the inauguration gives them exposure.
By the way your website is absolute garbage.
Oh, but “AugustineThomas” was only getting started about all the depravity and nastiness we secular leftist perverts are responsible for. A sampling:
He should try for Hillary's lesbian lover Katy Perry. You Secularist perverts call her "A-list" right?
Honestly, you can keep your drug addict, mediocre, pervert "A-listers". Those of us who don't want to live as Secularist perverts are happy not to have them!
Breitbart has so many more readers : )
As much as you Secularist Leftists want this to be Communist China, it is still the United States and we can come together for common goals even if we disagree on other issues.
I think sexual perversion is ravaging "conservatives" and "liberals", but it's obviously the Democrats/Secularist Leftists who really profit from perverting our children and making them miserable with pornography and drug addiction.
You guys are part of a mediocre public educational system that brainwashes you rather than educates you [...] Hilarious you mediocre shmuck. You clearly don't read anything except Secularist Leftist tabloids that make you dream about sex with celebrities. You guys are pornography and drug addicts. You're low class and you're destroying our society.
Your Secularist lifestyle is what's making you miserable and unfulfilled.
[In reply to someone complaining about his grammar: ] Have you checked your own grammar? Most people in this country are poorly educated, but I did achieve a degree from one of the top-ranked English departments in the world and my grammar appears to be far superior to yours. Do you even realize how stupid you make yourself look by trying to criticize my language abilities given your horrendous grammar?
And are you being racist? What is "Cheeto Benito's"?
Why are you defending Obama's pop culture perverts? Do you have a pornography addiction?
We get the impression "AugustineThomas" cares little for secularism, perverts, porn, or popular culture. All of which are apparently Barack Obama's fault; at least Obama is the current embodiment of how degraded culture has become, him with his White House concerts featuring the Rap and the Pop music (and great Blues and classical performers, too, but those are just for show, because as everyone knows, Obama is a pervert secularist leftist who worships pervert leftist secularists, pervertedly). Plus, A.T. achieved a degree from one of the top-ranked English departments in the world, where somehow no professor ever explained to him what it meant when something in one of his papers was circled and marked "repetitious." Sadly, he never mentioned which top-notch English program he graduated from, so we won't be able to send them a stern letter pointing out they aren't teaching students to avoid over-generalizing.
Speaking of which, A.T. had some pretty harsh words for us secular perverts and our clear lack of education, and he dared us to prove we actually knew anything about REAL culture, which we can't prove anyway, since obviously if we answered, we'd have only looked it up using the Googlebox:
You guys are so stupid you don't realize how mediocre pop culture is. Try to read St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Dante or Shakespeare. Then you'll realize what an idiot you are and how stupid all the people who feed you this pop culture garbage are as well.
People who regularly attend church are more educated than Secularists such as yourself. You guys watch pop culture, which is completely brain-dead entertainment. It's hilarious for you fools to pretend to be intelligent. You can barely even pull of this attempt at a high-brow insult and I'm sure you were Googling to check if you were right or not.
It's absolutely ridiculous for a Secularist Leftist who represents mediocre, illiterate pop culture to call out the intellectual abilities of others. You need to address the log in your own eye before criticizing the splinter in mine.
If I were you, I would worry about my pornography addiction and the other immorality that goes along with being a Secularist Leftist. That is why you guys have such a high rate of depression and suicide. Without God, you have no purpose in life except to engage in cheap pleasures that ultimately leave you empty and miserable.
Tell me what City of God is about, since you claim you've read all the Classics. How about Hamlet? (I'll know if you've just copy and pasted from some online summary.)
Hillary was pure evil and represented an international cabal that wants to turn the whole world into 1984. (Go ahead and tell me about 1984 as well, since you've read all the great books.)
Pray for the ability to self reflect and repent. As it stands, you're proud of being a scumbag, pornography addict pervert who worships his favorite sins.
You're full of love for your favorite sins. You are a scumbag member of the Immoral Majority who only wants to make the world safe for his favorite pervert sins. You're a child abuser. You're happy to pervert children if it makes them a little more pathetic so you're not lonely. This is why you hate morality and especially Christians who most embody it. (For the record, I was raised a scumbag pervert Secularist like you, so I'm referring to those Christians who retained morality in their families. We should try to get better like them rather than hating them because we were raised so poorly.)
We'll confess, after we banhammered poor "AugustineThomas," rendering him an unperson, we pointed out we've always been puzzled by rightwingers who lionize Orwell and assume he'd be their best bud, when he was a lifelong socialist whose two best-known novels satirize the Soviet system not because Orwell loved American free enterprise, but because he thought the USSR had perverted democratic socialism. Given Orwell's staunch anti-clericalism, if not outright atheism, it strikes us as weird A.T. would embrace him at all.
As to his claim, repeated several times, that regular churchgoers are more educated than "secularists," A.T. finally offered a source after several people challenged him. You guys won't believe this, but our graduate of one of the top-ranked English departments in the world mischaracterized the study. Shocking, we know:
Pew Report: Jews and Christians More Educated Than Atheists and Muslims
http: //www.pewforum.org/2016/1...
Why do you Secularists always demand citations, yet never provide any? You are intellectually PATHETIC people.
The link does indeed go to a Pew Research Center report. It's about religious affiliation and education worldwide, not just religious affiliation and education in the United States, which makes a bit of a difference, we'd say. Particularly if one is claiming readers of an American political mommyblog are uneducated drooling morons. And here's a fun "tell": The Pew report does not have the headline "Pew Report: Jews and Christians More Educated Than Atheists and Muslims." You may be very shocked to learn a Breitbart article about the report does, which suggests A.T. read the Breitbart piece and nothing more.
Shockingly, the Pew study (which is a good read, actually) isn't saying Christians are inherently smarter or more likely to be educated; rather, it says educational attainments of various religious groups are tied to economic development: Jews have the highest level of average postsecondary education because "the vast majority of the world’s Jews live in the United States and Israel -- two economically developed countries with high levels of education overall." As for "atheists and Muslims" being less educated worldwide, the study doesn't say much about actual belief in a deity...but yes, post-Mao China has a lot of uneducated poor people with no religious affiliation. By golly, it's almost as if "AugustineThomas" were seriously misrepresenting the actual findings of the study!
As for correlations between religion and education in the U.S. of A., it's worthwhile to look at the New York Times' reporting on that Pew study. Turns out American results are different from worldwide averages:
There were 267 million Christians in the United States when the data was collected, but only 36 percent of them had a postsecondary education, including college or a vocational school, the researchers said. That made them the least-educated religious group in the country.
Jews in the United States were more than twice as likely as Christians to have a postsecondary degree, and Hindus were almost three times as likely, Pew said. Buddhists, Muslims and those who said they were religiously unaffiliated were also more likely to have a college degree than those who identified themselves as Christians.
Now, before you make the same mistake as A.T. and crow, "See? Christians are dummm!" it's worth noting that, in the U.S., the data for religious minorities are skewed by immigration policies, according to Pew lead researcher Conrad Hackett, who noted that while American Christians are among the best-educated Christians worldwide, our immigration policies favor highly skilled, highly educated immigrants, which is why Muslims and Hindus in the U.S. are likelier to have more advanced degrees than other groups. It has nothing to do with theology at all.
Oh, but there is some not-so-great news for "AugustineThomas's" claim that people of faith are just plain better educated:
The study also found a connection between education levels and the number of people who described themselves as having no religious faith, Mr. Hackett said. In the United States, the religious tended to be less educated than the nonreligious, he said.
“The higher the level of education in a country, the larger the share of people with no religion tends to be,” he said. “Atheists and agnostics, or people with no religion in particular, have higher education levels than the religiously affiliated do in the U.S.”
Mind you, that's only because our schools are immoral pervert factories bent on forcing Americans to become perverted pop-culture consuming leftists.
Anyway, you'll be glad to know that after the banhammer fell, we got a couple of emails from "AugustineThomas," who wanted to let us know our intellectual cowardice had led to Donald Trump's triumph:
You're a coward who's too afraid to hear real arguments. You don't read anything except your own mediocre propaganda rag. THANK YOU FOR HELPING DONALD TRUMP WIN!!!
You guys need to stay as stupid as you are so you make it easy for us to keep winning! Thank you for being such an idiot who's afraid of a real argument!!! : )
I suppose you're a coward in an echo chamber who is too afraid to answer my arguments, so you preach at a comment of someone you blocked. Thank you! This proves that my arguments are superior! : D
We suppose maybe we should be ashamed of ourselves for running away from an argument from a guy who misreads Orwell, draws invalid conclusions from research, makes broad generalizations about those he disagrees with, and then proclaims victory when he's become annoying enough to get thrown out. We're all kinds of choked up about all that.
