pure awesomeness
Did you hear that the brutal Islamic dictator of Saudi Arabia wants to form an alliance with Jews and Christians to "safeguard humanity" against "the disintegration of the family and the rise of atheism in the world:"
"I have noticed that the family system has weakened and that atheism has increased. That is an unacceptable behavior to all religions, to the Koran, the Torah and the Bible. We ask God to save humanity. There is a lack of ethics, loyalty and sincerity for our religions and humanity."
Ed Brayton responds with pure awesomeness:
I'm just not inclined to accept lectures about ethics from a brutal dictator whose regime beheads people for being of the wrong religion, puts gay people to death and has roving gangs (they call them police) whose job is to beat women who leave the house unattended by a male relative. You're gonna lecture me on ethics, you fascist asshole? Fuck you. And your little god too.
Bravo!
