The Poor Bastard Didn't Have a Prayer


That's the one just silver lining in the IM Future, watching Versaillists and Vichyists everywhere going down on their knees at gunpoint the better to service their new Master, Allaho Akbar!
The sad part is that this guy was far braver than any V or V. For him, there was no Justice. Only Pepeanism in Thought and Action.

Gitmo is better, no? No, says Pepe, let them all out. Nawlins is a better place for them, right?

Mr roT said...

He learned about freedom-fightin in Gitmo! He should hae been rehabilitated. I mean he did the right thing! Uh, he never should have been in Gitmo in the first place. Where's my lawyer? Racists!

My Frontier Thesis said...

What would concern you fellahs more: getting approached by a group of known religious fanatics, or militant atheists?

Let's hear some point and counterpoint...

Pepe le Pew said...

atheists are only militant around religious fanatics, mft.

Pepe le Pew said...

The nazis were militant atheists? Get off the ouzo.

My Frontier Thesis said...

Yeah, I've been taught that the Nazis (or Hitler) were into all sorts of strange occult and voodoo shit. That doesn't sound very atheist to me. And on top of that, it's impossible to say that Nazis were anti-theistic, especially when trying to establish a Third Roman Kingdom.

I'll bet the Catholic Pope then opposed the Nazis on all fronts, though, right? And I'll bet the hot-pocket of Catholic Bavaria had nothing to do with the majority of the big Nazi names hailing from there.

I'll gladly swing the hammer the other way, too, and whale on the Left to boot: There has been plenty of human slaughter in the name of atheism. But alas: all groups, Believers and Infidels, claim that the human slaughter took place because of a corruption of the system or religion in which they believe.

It's all very complicated this way, and usually ends up with a bunch of finger-pointing and screaming. Right now, at this point in time, Militant Islam seems to be the biggest threat.

Yes, he is famous for his, ahem, principled stance against the slaughter at that time.

There has been plenty of human slaughter in the name of atheism.

Name one.

If you had been a kid then, Pepe, who knows what you had done? Kids aren't known for their moral clear thinking. That's why they should be brought up.

Pepe, I believe Stalin declared himself a non-believer. But, then again, he was a theist in that he preached the grand Marxist Utopia. So I don't know if I can call him anti-theist. Perhaps atheist. Perhaps.

Pepe le Pew said...

Pepe, I believe Stalin declared himself a non-believer.

yes but that doesn't mean he's committed atrocities in the name of atheism.

Arelcao Akleos said...

He committed atrocities in the Name of Communism. And Communism [Marx] openly set as fundamental to its worldview a militant atheism.
So, yeah, he committed grand murder in the name of an atheistic worldview.
Of course, had that worldview been as it was but minus the atheism I've no doubt that Stalin would have killed with equal gusto.
If your point, Pepe, is that the atheism was not necessary or sufficent for Stalin to be a killer, and likewise for Hitler, then there's good arguments for that.

Mr roT said...

Oh, c'mon, AA! Stalin was a monk. That's what put the bloodlust in him. It was Jesus!

Pepe le Pew said...

Right - religion or the absence thereof wasn't a central issue as it was say, under torquemada, crusades, reformation, and so on.

Arelcao Akleos said...

But only for the reason, Pepe, that the ideology of Communism was religion enough. The Dialectic replaced Revelation, Scientific Materialism replaced Holy Scripture, the Vanguard of the Revolution replaced the Disciples, the Party replaced the Church, Utopia replaced Heaven,and to the raucous cheer of Pepedom Earth was made into a sanguinary Hell.
