Shame on You, Murderous Christian Hypocrites

Throughout my life, nothing has incited my anger as much as a hypocrite. As a boy, going to my mother's place of worship on weekends and seeing how certain people in town acted there, as opposed to how they acted the other six days of the week, sickened me to the depths of my soul.

I resolved by the age of 13 or so, to never, ever practice any religion, and I remain to this day a proud atheist. With the heinous acts committed by these phony believers, including the brutal murder of a health-care provider in his church yesterday by a so-called Christian, egged on by right-wing media screamers who themselves deserve to have their tongues cut out, I now feel justified in denouncing all Christians.

Why? Because all of you, however decent yourselves, have lost your right to claim possession of any portion of truth or wisdom or even faith unless you denounce these murderers in your ranks. You can't have it both ways. Either you vocally denounce this murder, and declare it a deeply anti-Christian act, or you are a hypocrite with blood on your hands.

That blood came from a decent man, a doctor, ironically a practicing Christian, for Christ's sake, and he was murdered in his church! You who remain silent a disgust me, with your self-righteous hypocrisy. By your silence, you are admitting your faith is nothing more than belief in an ignorant, monstrous cult that threatens all who disagree with you.

If you wish salvation, march, yell, scream about the assassination of Dr. George Tiller. Stay silent and you are an accomplice to murder.

In his memory, I repost this sad story of his life on Wikipedia:

Tiller studied at the University of Kansas School of Medicine from 1963 to 1967. Shortly thereafter, he held a medical internship with United States Navy, and served as flight surgeon in Oakland, California in 1969 and 1970. In July 1970 he planned to start a dermatology residency. However on August 21, 1970, his parents, sister and brother-in-law were killed in an aircraft accident. In her will, his sister had requested that Tiller take care of her one-year-old son. Tiller had intended to go back to Wichita, close up his father's family practice and then go back to become a dermatologist. However, he quickly felt pressure to take over his father's family practice. Tiller's father had performed abortions at his practice. After hearing about a woman that had died from an illegal abortion, Tiller stayed in Wichita to continue his father's practice.
