I don’t believe in any god that wouldn’t strike Nalliah instantly mute for this shit
February 10, 2009
Most of the nation has been frozen with shock at the plight of families who’ve lost their lives/homes/loved ones/friends.
Not this raving idiot fuckknuckle jerkoff charged with bringing us all God’s wonderful love and justice and mercy.
No, no, this man with the special relationship to the God of love and compassion thinks 173 people have been burnt alive because Victoria decriminalised abortion.
Fuck. You. You. Total. Monster.
If there *is* an omnipotent god interested in justice, who dishes out punishment for sins then YOU, you giant fuckface will be denied entry into the ‘heaven’ you’ve spent your life trying to get into. You make me sick.
AND while we’re at this, if god can ‘withdraw his protection’ from a country due to sin, then WHERE WAS HE when Aboriginal babies were murdered? Where was he during the massacres? Where was he during the Stolen Generations? During withheld wages and the raping of Indigenous women.
Sounds very much like Convenient Theory for YOU day.
You say you’re in the area handing out disaster relief? You should stay the hell away from these people with those views. The Red Cross can give them blankets and foods WITHOUT the sideserve of hateful bullshit.
AND while we’re at this, if god can ‘withdraw his protection’ from a country due to sin, then WHERE WAS HE when Aboriginal babies were murdered? Where was he during the massacres? Where was he during the Stolen Generations? During withheld wages and the raping of Indigenous women.
I think this douchebag would probably claim that god didn’t owe the indigenous people of this country any protection because they weren’t Christians.
If this man’s god were real, I would oppose Him on principle. It would be immoral to worship a god like that.
Years ago a friend of mine said ‘If that’s what God is, I would spit in his face if I met him’. I understand that sentiment now.
I had a remarkably similar reaction to hearing about this guy. What a horrible God he must have, and also how fucking attention seeking at this time to be all “HAY I HAD A DREAM”
Should Pentecostal Christianity now be regarded as a certifiable mental illness? Maybe they’re not all that bad, but this guy should certainly be taken away by the men in white coats. And If he can justify that based on the Bible, what else can he justify?
Mr Nalliah is welcome to worship his particular god or dream or devil. May he answer to the same being for the life he has lived.
I’ll stick with Kali, Loki, Surtur, Helios, Apollo, and all the other fire deities out there. They don’t expect me to fawn at their feet in apology when they’ve showed the dark side of their personalities. Fire is full of wonder, but also full of terror; it doesn’t care who we are or what we are. It needs fuel to survive, and without that fuel, it will die. But it doesn’t care what the fuel is, why the fuel is there, or how it began. Fire IS.
I do hope none of the people who died in the fire were pregnant women; hwvr rthr mlcs prt f my sl wshs thr t b t lst n. Thn Mr Nalliah could be cnfrntd with hr lif nd hr dth, nd asked to explain how his god could allow the unborn child she was carrying to die, if he cares so damn much about the unborn he’s willing to punish thousands of people as a way of showing it.
[Hey Meg, I see where you were going with that disemvowelled section - but I couldn't publish it as it was. I knew you probably didn't mean it how it sounded but I had to think about the way it would sound if I published it]
173 people, huh? Unless that happened at a pro-choice rally, at least some of them were anti-abortion.
I’m sure that this has been covered before, but why on earth do godbags always insist that justice was meted out to groups of people which probably include their potential congregants for collective actions which at least some of those people may have disagreed with? It’s inconsistent, to say the least.
P.C – I hear you…and at some point I’d like to ‘unpack’ some of this. Because there will be many Christians who will honestly be appalled by his statement. However, the god of the christian bible does do some fucking horrendous ‘vengeance’/'justice’. I’m NOT saying that’s what this is, it’s idiocy in the extreme to suggest that…but the ‘Oh, God is love!’ thing doesn’t fly when you know the same god apparently killed all children under two under less their parents marked the door lintels in retribution for slavery…massacre of what…thousands of kids under two? In retribution? Don’t tell me this is a warm and fuzzy god of love and DON’T talk to me about his respect for human life as sacrosanct. And if you continue to worship that god, don’t ask me to respect your beliefs or think YOU respect human life. (That’s aimed at christian apologists, not at you PC)
Hey Valerie…yeah, there’s so many things wrong with this, so much lacking in the logic, but you know at the end of the day he gets to hide behind “I know God”, and damn, I can’t remember where I read this but ‘God said’ acts as a way to finish an argument, to put the point beyond debate…what do you say to that?
Ok – I’ve withheld a couple of comments while I thought about how to address them. Meg, I’m sorry if the disemvowelling caused offence – I see what you’re saying, ‘if this, then that’, but I just wasn’t comfortable publishing it. The rest of the comment though I thought was fair comment
Vibenna…I wasn’t going to publish this comment at all, but think I need to to address the responses that have been calling Nalliah ‘insane’ asking if it’s mental illness. There’s some good discussion over at Hoyden on exactly this.
Nalliah isn’t mentally unwell. He’s a complete arsehole. He’s an entitled, smug prick who thinks he can say whatever he want cos he has god and the bible on his side. It’s not the first time, it won’t be the last and his attitude is relatively common within churches of an evangelical/fundamentalist bent. It’s an attitude that comes from priviledge and from believing you have Truth and GOD on your side, and while I think that christianity offers people excuses not to work on their emotional/mental issues, I don’t think it does anyone any favours to insinuate that this guy said what he said cos he’s mentally unwell.
It’s an offensive world view, one he’s thought through and through and through, but it’s arrogance, misogyny, a love of power, a foolish belief that none of this matters, that it’s all for the afterlife, a literalist approach to the bible…all manner of things, none of which is mental illness…if it were it would be far more excusable.
As someone said over at Hoyden actual schizophrenics make more sense/cause less offence than this fuckknuckle.
I’m letting fly with a rather lengthy SoapBox session, not all of which is aimed at you. But it’s both misleading and lazy of us to call it insanity (though I struggled not to use that word…it’s so ingrained for us.
We need to steer clear of ascribing it to mental illness and start calling it what it is – religion offering arsehole men like this a way to feel important and powerful at the expense of others.
I just *can’t* believe he had a dream, and actually voiced that.
I almost vomited when I heard this story, and thought of the olden days… or perhaps just The Crucible or something.
[...] Lauredhel’s take. Fuck Politeness’ take. [...]
This filthy little bottom feeding, scum sucking fucktard is an opportunist. He’s feeding off the misery of the poor buggers who have lost everything to promote his sick and twisted agenda. If there is a God, prove you’re real. Strike this mongrel down with a lightning bolt up his festering arse.
I’m a bit uncomfortable with some sections. It may just be that I’m up a little early. But I think particularly it’s the specificity of the violence. I’d just like him to shut up. Hence the mute call. I understand the anger…I’m just not sure if lightning bolts up anyone’s arse (or any other ‘revenge violence’)*would* do anything good/prove anything…although…lightning usually comes down, so if it were to shoot out of the ground like it might need to to get to your preferred destination, I *suppose* it could make people pause for thought.
[...] topless woman. Guess which part of her is being covered by raw meat? Fuck Politeness lets us know I don’t believe in any god that wouldn’t strike Nalliah instantly mute for this shit – yes, even in Australia, there’s always fundy bastards ready to blame horrific natural [...]
