    explained he ‘wore’ bacon to protect himself from alleged threats of beheading

    Does he think pork repels muslims like garlic repels vampires?

      Those who define themselves by hate typically don’t have strong analytical skills.

        Not quite right.

        Sky News in Europe, even when it was owned by News Corp (which it isn’t any more, it’s Comcast now), was always a high quality prestige loss leader that Murdoch ensured was highly reputable, as a way to gain approval for the rest of the Sky package of channels among stricter European regulators.

        Sky News Australia (which this story is about and is still owned by News Corp), on the other hand, has always been a completely separate entity and is definitely the antipodean sibling to the dumpster fire that is Fox News USA.

      It has been for a long time. Pork-laced ammunition is popular among MAGAts, who believe it will allow them to kill Muslims and send them straight to hell.

        I mean, that’s hilarious on so many levels.

        funny because you know they actually believe they can send Muslims to hell like that.

        funny because Muslims believe they go to hell for consuming pork.

        funny because if hell existed, we’re already there.

        the idea that you can send anyone to hell is preposterous, and that’s funny.

          Also, according to Muslims I have talked to, you have to knowingly and willingly consume pork for it to be a sin. If you are fed pork without your knowledge or consent the sin weighs on the one, giving you the pork.

          So I his bacon dipped bullets thing is triple stupid:

          Unless the Muslims know and want to be shot by these bullets, they don’t believe they’ll go to hell. If they don’t know or don’t want to be shot (which seems to be the most likely) they believe that YOU will go to hell for this. So either you believe their religion is right and you will go to hell or you believe their religion is wrong in which case the bacon doesn’t do shit.

          TLDR: Bacon bullets are right wing grift for terminally stupid people.

    Hey, stop showing christian hate assholes insulting other religions, and give that time to atheists with actual, valid statements about the abuses of that, and all religions.

    “Why, I never could have guess that nazi would act like a nazi! Shocked, yes, shocked I am! (fake gasp)”

      Considering most evangelical atheist discussions devolve into name-calling and shitty memes, I don’t think it’d fare any better.

      The rational atheist isn’t the one who defines themselves by their lack of faith in some theological process, but by a faith in scientific and/or logical philosophy. Don’t define yourself by what you lack, but by what you do not.
