    • If ridicule is legitimate against racism, it is legitimate against religion

    By No Such Thing As Blasphemy • • 1 comment

    When John had a recent post on the use of mockery against religion, we were treated to this whiny comment:

    Well.. People have always mocked, what they didn’t understand. It’s just something people do, when they feel insecure.

    Enter Charlotte, North Carolina.

    Dr Jerry Coyne has this interesting post about some of the wold’s scummiest slime balls (neo-Nazis and the KKK) putting up a rally inn Charlotte. The locals had an ingenious way of countering them.

    Three days ago in Charlotte, North Carolina, a neo-Nazi group joined with the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (it’s amazing that these organizations still have any members!) to hold a hate rally at Old City Hall in Charlotte, North Carolina.  250 counter-protesters decided to “prank them” by dressing up like clowns and shouting ludicrous counter-slogans.  Result: Klan and Nazis looked stupid.

    To our faithful whiner: those who protested against the racists UNDERSTOOD RACISM ALL TOO WELL. THE DID NOT MOCK THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE INSECURE. Mockery is a useful tool to expose baseless and dangerous ideas, and religion is no exception. And by the way, while this was indeed a hate rally, so is any fire and brimstone rally that threatens gays, non-believers, and followers of other religions with eternal torture.

Hence, I am quite familiar with this plague. I started doubting the faith I was raised in during my teen years. After becoming familiar with the works of enlightenment philosophers, I identified myself as a deist. But it was not until a long time later, after I learned about evolutionary science, that I came to identify myself as an atheist. And only then, I came to know the religious right in the US. No need to say, that made me much more passionate about what I believe in and what I stand for. Read more...
