Introduction}
Christians were noticeably absent from making many public comments immediately
following the September 11th terrorist attacks. They knew the question that was
on everyone's mind: Where was God? Well, he was in the same place
as Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy: the fantasyland that exists
within people's minds. Fact is, the Christians had no good explanation, and
still don't. But that hasn't stopped them from hijacking the entire episode and
perverting it into something to promote even more religion as the
solution, as if religion wasn't the cause of the tragedy in the
first place. The media as usual has sucked up to the religionists, and thus I
feel compelled to speak out on the behalf of common sense.

Zacarias Moussaoui is on trial for his life. What
did he do? He did... nothing. That's what he's on trial for.
Doing nothing. He did nothing to PREVENT the September
11th 2001 attacks upon the World Trade Center. He KNEW
it was going to happen. He could have STOPPED IT with
a few simple actions. But instead, he chose to do NOTHING.
What he did by doing nothing was IMMORAL, EVIL,
AGAINST THE LAW, and, according to the Bible, a
SIN:
Therefore
to him that
knoweth to do good,
and
doeth it not,
to
him it is sin.
(James 4:17
KJV)
But he wasn't the ONLY one on the morning of September 11th who
knew beforehand AND DID NOTHING to stop those planes from smashing
into the lives of 3,000 people. I point this out to the Fundies
reading this: IF Moussaoui is such an EVIL SINNER per
James 4:17 for letting such a horrible thing happen, how much MORE
an EVIL SINNER is your Biblegod, who did EXACTLY THE SAME THING on
the morning of September 11th, 2001.
And don't give me that CRAP about Biblegod can't interfere with
"free will". Every time you idiots pray for a high school football
game to swing your way, or pray to marry someone you've got your
heart set on, or pray a friend or relative will be "led to the
Lord", you are expecting Biblegod to interfere with someone's "free
will". So if Biblegod can "interfere with free will" by making a
quarterback sneeze when throwing a pass, he could have just as
easily kept all the hijackers home that morning with a severe case
of diarrhea.
So Fundies, don't DESPISE Moussaoui unless you're also willing to
despise BIBLEGOD, for BOTH are guilty of allowing 9/11 to happen,
and therefore both are SINNERS according to the Bible, in James 4:17

You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news on
September 11, 2001. Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife
to say "Good-Bye." I held his fingers steady
as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make
it, but it is OK...I am ready to go."
Comments: Well
gee, thanks alot for holding my fingers steady, but it would have been even
peachier if you had given me a goddamn parachute, or is that too
much to ask from an almighty deity??? Was "holding my fingers" the
best idea you could come up with? If a New York fireman had managed to reach
me, do you think he would have held my fingers steady, or gotten me out of the
damn building before it collapsed? You knew the right thing to do- get me out
of the goddamn building- but did it not, therefore you are a sinner, according
to your own damn Bible!!! (James 4:17 KJV)
NOTE: This line of the lyrics
blows away the Christian claim that Biblegod is unable to actually DO
anything "cause that would be interfering in the affairs and freewill
of men." IF Biblegod was able to "steady his fingers" (a
physical in-our-world action) then he was just as able to pick him up and
gently place him on the ground. What we have here is a clear example of the
type of doublethink Christians regularly engage in.
Biblegod can do nothing because he can't
interfere with freewill.
Biblegod can do something in answer to prayer, so
we pray.
Conclusion: Biblegod can/cannot do something, =
doublethink.
I was with his wife
when he called as she fed breakfast to their children.
I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't
coming home that night.
Comments: Well, he could
have been home that night for dinner, if YOU had done something other than
hold his finger, you dumbass deity!!!! But I guess that was the best you
could come up with, eh??? Instead, because of your stupidity, she's a widow
and the kids are missing a father. Couldn't you have given the terrorists a
flat tire on the way to the airport? Couldn't you have unplugged their alarm
clocks while they slept? Couldn't you have done any of a million things that a
mere child could have thought of, that would have prevented this tragedy in
the first place? Yes, you could have- IF you had been real. The fact that
nothing was done proves the fact that Biblegod himself is nothing.
I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman
cried out to Me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of your heart
for 50 years!" I said. "Of course I will show you the way home - only
believe in Me now."
Comments: And
what kind of help did you give her? Did you carry her down the stairs, as any
one of us would have done? No, you left her there to die. You left her there
to be flattened like a bug under a truck tire. You ignored her cries for help
and just left her there. IF you were real, you should be put on trial for
criminal negligence. Since you were already having a conversation with her,
couldn't you have at least TOLD her how to get out of the building???
I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministered to the injured and
devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my
voice and answered.
I was on all four of those planes, in every
seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in
the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their
faith has saved them.
Comments: Oh
yeah, you were there all right. Belief in you is what caused all this mess in
the first place. You were there in the 19 hijackers, inspiring them to
willingly sacrifice their lives in your honor. You were the one they prayed to
in the last seconds before they flew the planes into the buildings. You were
also the one who the passengers prayed to for help. Apparently, you were only
answering prayers from Muslim fanatics that day- the Christian prayers for
help were put on hold. Thanks alot, Biblegod, Allah, Jehovah, and whatever
other alias you go by.
I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you when you heard the
terrible news. Did you sense Me? I want you to know that I saw every face. I
knew every name - though not all know Me.
Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor. Some sought Me with their last
breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames;
"Come to Me... this way... take my hand." Some
chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there.
Comments: And
why not? Maybe they could see the kind of "help" you were giving
your Christians that day and decided with gods like that, who needs devils???
Why pray to a do-nothing god? As it is, your "loving followers" as
well as the Atheists in that building, all ended up with the same fate. In the
words of the Janet Jackson song, "What Have You Done For Me
Lately?".
I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not
know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive
moment in time, would you have reached for Me?
Comments: Oh
here we go again! "It's a mystery!!!" Any time Christians can't
answer a rational question or make sense of their nonsense
religion, they just throw their hands up in the air and exclaim "It's a
mystery!" and with that we're supposed to swallow any crap they want to
shove down our throats. Yet these same assholes will mock evolutionary
scientists who sometimes in scientific honesty have to admit that they don't
know all the answers. They even try to use this as "proof" that
evolution is false. Once again, Christian doublethink. It's okay for
Christians to admit ignorance, but not anyone else.
September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your
journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may
be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to go."
Comments: Here
we find a root cause of WHY the hijackers did what they did: a belief in the
afterlife. The same thing that motivated the terrorists to do what they did is
what motivates Christians to remain Christians. You will never find any
Atheists flying planes into buildings in order to "go to heaven".
Religion, and it's unsupported absurd beliefs, is what killed over 3,000
people in New York City on September 11, 2001. The only way to prevent
subsequent attacks is to attack the root cause: religion. Religion is the cause,
not the answer, to the problem.
I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.
Remember- I love you.

Regarding 9-11
God Bless
America!
(But Please, Not As You "Blessed America" on
September 11th!)
Mark Smith July
6, 2002
With so many of my fellow
Americans slapping "God Bless America" decals all over
everything, it makes me stop and wonder. I wonder about the poor quality of
"Blessing America" Biblegod did on September 11th, 2001, as he sat
on his holy hemorrhoids and did nothing to "bless"
America. Seeing how he did such a piss-poor job at "blessing" us
then, what makes these God Blessers think he'd do any better in the future?
Let's say you're the guy in the
neighborhood with the pool. Last Saturday, you asked your neighbor Joe Hovah
to be the lifeguard for all the neighborhood kids as they swam, so you could
run to the store for a six pack. When you got back, ambulances were leaving
your house. It turns out that four kids had drowned while you were gone. It
also turns out that Joe Hovah had witnessed the whole thing, and just let it
happen. He sat there, watched the kids struggle to stay above water, watched
each kid go under, and didn't even get out of his seat. He even filmed the
whole thing with his camcorder while it was happening, so he could enjoy
watching it again and again.
If you were to ever
again ask Joe Hovah to be lifeguard for the kids in the pool, you'd be
considered a fool who doesn't learn from his mistakes. Yet this is exactly
the same mistake Christians of America are making with their Biblegod. They
are asking this do-nothing god to do what he was too lazy or stupid to do on
September 11th; that it, "bless America". For on September
11th, Biblegod knew the right thing to do, the good thing, and he did it
not.
Therefore
to him that knoweth to do good,
and
doeth it not,
to
him it is sin.
(James 4:17
KJV)

"To blame Islam for what happened in New York is like
blaming Christianity for the troubles in Northern Ireland!" Yes. Precisely.
It is time to stop pussyfooting around. Time to get angry. And not only with
Islam.
