Thoughts on a masculist

(This blog was originally going to be titled 'What a wanker!')

I was browsing livejournal.com and found some guy who called himself 'Masculist'.

You'll all remember the catastophic floods & storm that caused so much trouble in New Orleans about 3 years ago? Reading this guy's journal- he thinks it was a good thing!

'The coming apocalypse

It's been so long since I updated this thing, I almost forgot it existed.

Watching the news about the coming hurricane, just on the heels of the worst destruction New Orleans has seen in forty years, if ever at all ... I can't help but remember the words of Brother Morphus as he talked about the signs of the tribulation.

New Orleans has long been known as a hotbed of iniquity, witchcraft, satanism, occult activity. The spirit of Jezebel herself has been cast out of a victim in New Orleans by an evangelical lady I know. I never went near that place that the Holy Spirit didn't warn me to get out and fast.

Hopefully Christ's Kingdom will be incorporated into the rebuilding, and the storm waters will have cleansed some of the evil that lurked there.

Now another tempest of destruction and cleansing heads for my state. We are on a prayer vigil for our brothers and sisters closer to the coast, and for the survivors of New Orleans.

We are also talking seriously about which sign will be the next one. We know it's coming ... but not like a tempest: "Like a thief in the night." But soon.'

Ok... can anyone say 'mental?!' This guy calls himself a Christian, but seems glad the storm happened! I tried to reply, but he had it set to 'friends only'. I can see why. Here's what I was going to put:

There's no such thing as witchcraft. I can't believe some people are stuck in the medievel times thinking that that lady who lives by herself and has a black cat made all the cows sick, or caused the vicar's daughter to get measles. The worst thing so-called 'witches' can do is brew up some herbal tea, or meditate for a bit, and that's not harming anyone! And I don't see how their 'rituals' are any different from Catholic Mass. A bit of chanting, some incense, some wine & food. They're based on the same idea of an offering that will have an ultimate goal. And prayer, meditation?! Same basic principle of having an open mind for thoughts to enter- a higher state of consciousness, if you will.

I also get the idea that you think the storm was a good thing. It's not like the citizens of New Orleans deserved it or anything!

Repeat after me... there's no such thing as witches. It's all fairytales...

Thoughts, ideas? This guy makes for great blog material. I don't feel bad, because he is obviously not a very nice person; in his journal, he mentions that he goes shooting for sport, talks about 'faggots' and fat people, and even sports that lovely redneck, conservative view that women should stick to what women do best, darn it, stayin' at home, squeezin' out the babies and not reading anything...

I am personally an atheist/humanist. I don't mind people having religions. I think it's a great comfort and support for a lot of people. I just hate it when they use it back up ridiculous personal ideas, like this guy does. You should see his entry on 'rock music'
