Iceland Declares Christianity A Public Health Hazard by hahn(m): 11:57am On Jun 09, 2016 |
The island country of Iceland has officially declared Christianity a public health hazard. The law proclaiming the radical idea was signed recently by *Prime Minister Sigurður Ingi Jóhannsson in the spirit of “protecting the elderly from scams, our children from nightmares, and the general population from chicanery.” As strong as the law’s language is, it does not restrict the free exercise of religion by any citizen or visitor. A coalition of Lutherans, Catholics, and other Christian sects have formed an organization to combat the image that they contribute to the erosion of psychological well-being. “Yes, certain rogues have used Christianity to fleece the old and give hellish nightmares to the young,” explained Reverend Andrew Canard. “However, faith requires the acknowledgment of not knowing and we can all agree simplistic and often contradictory answers found in the Bible are the answers to not knowing.” The new law urges Icelandic society to, “pick up a book” and to “engage fellow human beings in the spirit of compassion regardless of creed.” It also calls for research to determine the best path to promote Humanist values around the world. This is NOT a witch hunt Pro-reason activists hail the recent events as a victory against superstition. Some local Catholics are calling the measure a “witch hunt.” “A witch hunt is where a mob attacks the weakest members of society and prosecutes them typically via a sham trial. The mob then executes the poor soul. The last time I checked, the Catholic Church were the undisputed champions of the world in such games for centuries,” stated an anonymous citizen. American Republican Presidential hopefuls are calling the events transpiring in Iceland “dangerous” and wonder if such a brazen act of divine disobedience may mean that the country is not fit to be in NATO. Both Democratic candidates are afraid to point out that the predominantly Muslim country of Turkey is,well, a predominantly Muslim country because they would be branded as “egg-heads.” Source: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/laughingindisbelief/2016/04/iceland-declares-christianity-a-public-health-hazard/ 4 Likes 6 Shares |

Watch them develop and grow fast. It is a fact that the least religious countries in the world are the most developed, progressive and peaceful. Religion is a cankerworm that needs to be eradicated. Let's all embrace humanity and know that our greatest callings on earth is to extend our kindness and humanity to humans, animals and the planet instead of some mumbo jumbo religion with an imaginary heaven and earth. 8 Likes 1 Share |

kevoh: Christianity is more rational that Islam. If they could get to that point with Christianity, you can bet that Islam is non existent. Most atheists do not take Islam seriously. It is a really silly religion 8 Likes 1 Share |

hahn: i am almost certain u got this news from re.dd.it. i couldnt find another source besides it and patheos .com carrying this sensationalist news. let me break it down for you. icelanders have an enemity with the "church tax'' not religion. i do admit a large number have a thing against Christianity just like atheists, muslims etc have always had an irrational dislike for anything christ-like.. perhaps u may want to read up on the growing practice of paganism in iceland, with many joining their traditional deities http://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/politics_and_society/2015/12/01/icelanders_flocking_to_the_zuist_religion/ .. wow so they are still theists afterall. now about that statement which got u so excited. its not the view of the majority of icelanders, at least not yet. iceland is the only country that i know that compels it citizens to pay a "church tax" to fund programs by the State's church. i wont be happy in a country that compels me to do that..(there is a reason why there should be separation of church/mosque and state), so that is why there is growing discontent. 57% of Icelanders consider themselves religious by the way...and the number is growing. |
