I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.
Atheists post sign depicting Twin Towers to mark season of Christmas
December 10, 2007
I’m not sure what’s more laughable. I’m honestly torn between two possibilities.
One one hand, it’s laugh-out-loud hilarious that every time an atheist tells me that atheism isn’t a religion because there are no assemblies or organizational structures that adherents of that particular philosophical/metaphysical conjecture attend or participate in, a group of atheists does something to disprove that notion.
On the other hand, it might even be more hilarious that said atheist(s) are usually too blinded by, and ignorant because of, their raw hatred of all things religious to even realize that putting up a sign during the Christmas season featuring a former New York landmark which was obliterated by Islamic terrorists is functionally meaningless. Had they run this a month and change ago, during Ramadan, it might have made more sense, because Ramadan is an Islamic holy season. But during Christmas? Forgive me, but when was the last time that nineteen Baptists hijacked four airliners and drove them into skyscrapers? For that matter, when was the last time Christians committed any sort of mass-casualty terror attack?*
But then, I think that I may have just discovered what is, in fact, the most laughable thing about atheists in that very reflection: they seem to be cowards. I very much doubt that the atheist group that posted the Twin Towers signs would have ever had the guts to put up their artwork during Ramadan, and for good reason: Christians don’t issue fatwas. We just pray for you, rather than call for you to be beheaded.
One other note: why do people think that ‘Imagine’ is a good song?

* no, Timothy McVeigh was not a Christian…he was, in fact, an self-admitted atheist.
