D.B. Hirsch is a political activist, news junkie, and retired ad copy writer and spin doctor. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Real news. With snark, invective, and lots of links. Guaranteed behaving badly.

His God really sucks. Bet the hypocrite doesn’t have a problem with preventing his own death – bet he goes to the doctor, takes his medicine, etc. But trying to prevent the death of children is pointless because Gaaawwwwd, Davy, decided make the little children suffer.

His god, Yahweh is the jealous, spoiled brat child of El and Asherah, I hope they come back soon to spank his butt!

So he’s the red-headed stepchild?
Makes sense. As much as metaphysics ever does…

I gets worse, they demoted his siblings to “angels”.

Ilda Baoth,the son of chaos. Creates man, punishes him for transgressions. His abode in the planet Saturn ( “time keeper”/reaper). Transformed into the devil.

The only reference I see for “Ilda Baoth” is from Blavatsky who I do not trust as a scholar because she made a lot of stuff up. I am referring to the Sumerian family of deities(fictional characters), the Romans ruined a good Comic Book.

Regardless of it’s source, I like the Ilda Boath tale 😉

Southern hillbilly legislators cater to fear, propaganda and our out of control American gun culture which ignores the resulting violence in our society. They know they’re getting votes from ignorant rednecks who have no idea how idiotic our nation looks to the world.
A total of 111 people were killed by police in the United States in March of 2015.
Since 1900, in the entire United Kingdom, 52 people have been killed by police.

damn!

That’s what happens when every single cop in the US carries at least one gun, and cops in the UK (except Northern Ireland) do not, except in unusual circumstances.

Velocipedes are immoral and evil, don’t even get me started on the Penny farthing, a contraption devised by Lucifer himself.

George Carlin had a line about this. After a child was killed in a car accident, and someone said it’s god’s will, he said, “We’d better get this guy god, that’s fourth kid he’s killed this week.
“God’s will” is a cop out, used by lazy people who don’t want to make the effort to improve things. That’s what the church taught in the Middle Ages (when there was only one church) because they didn’t know any better. There was no science, they had not way of explaining things. We know better now, there’s no excuse for being lazy anymore.

George Carlin Religious Lift
https://www.rxlyrics.com/lyrics/g/george-carlin/religious-lift-18.html
But religion is like abdicating responsibility for your life. Many religions make it easy for you to…just throw it all off. It’s God’s will. “That’s right, God’s will. I ran over the kid in the driveway; that’s right. Don’t look at me…God’s will” “Hey, boss. Let’s go downtown and get this guy, God!” Can you see a lynch mob in front of the church? That’s the fourth guy He’s killed this week.”

A thought just occurred to me: Would he still feel this way if his kid was the one shot and killed? When trying to find out if he has any kids (he’s not important enough for Wikipedia to include that info) I found out he’s one of the idiots who joined the lawsuit against the president, claiming he wasn’t a citizen, and ineligible to be president. That alone should disqualify him from holding any public office, on account of excessive stupidity.

Interesting theory. Can anybody claim “God’s will” as a defense? A child finds his parent’s loaded gun and accidentally shoots his friend. Can his parent get off with the “God’s will” plea? Why is Scott Roeder sitting in jail? Can’t he claim his “religious freedoms” have been violated? After all, he said he was “doing God’s work” by killing the good doctor. Something to ponder.

So if someone blows his brains out ..its an act of god?

Bicycles are restricted in parks and cars are also restricted. For some ungodly reason this idiot believes everything is OK when it comes to guns. He is the definition of an Ammosexual: someone who believes guns are more important than human life.
And will the NRA stop w/ the stupid idea of equating guns & cars. Cars have been made progressively safer w/ seat belts, air bags, and strict requirements prior to allowing them on the road. But guns have only been made deadlier with the only safe measure being a safety button. Automobile deaths have been steadily decreasing while gun deaths have been rising.
It is also interesting that Ammosexuals would not give up their guns even if it would guaranteed that there would be no more mass murders of children.
