Never having heard of Rick Wiles before reading about his projectile vomiting of hatred over "christian" radio last night, the most that can be said about him is that his shtick is a good example of stuff I said should not be on the radio, television or other mass medium, here, the other day.
“This Ebola epidemic could become a global pandemic and that’s another name for plague,” Wiles said. “It may be the great attitude adjustment that I believe is coming. Ebola could solve America’s problems with atheism, homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, pornography and abortion... If Ebola becomes a global plague, you better make sure the blood of Jesus is upon you, you better make sure you have been marked by the angels so that you are protected by God, if not, you may be a candidate to meet the Grim Reaper.”
I challenge anyone to match anything he said in that with the Gospel of Jesus, the rest of the books of the Second Testament or the First Testament, for that matter. The guy is clearly a fraud and a liar when he presents himself as a Christian. Apparently he also believes that Obama is spreading Ebola by injection so he's about as up to date and sciency as the pseudo-Islamic nutcases who spread paranoia about polio vaccines and medical treatment, thus killing and maiming Muslims.
You would think that the facts of who has gotten Ebola and who is endangered by it, in a country like Libera which has a population which is more than 85% Christian, many of the victims reported to be family members who are dying and at risk in entire families as they care for their loved ones and Christian missionaries who are infected as they care for people they don't even know would be the best refutation of the Rick Wiles of the world.
But, and I'm sure you would have about as hard a time predicting this as that an egg dropped on a rock would break, the typical response is to be hatin' on Christians. Some, at places like Salon, have been gleefully wishing that it would be possible to wipe out Christians, or religious people in general, with Ebola. Apparently they want to do the Wiles thing even more than that hate-talker because I doubt the percentage of Liberians covered by his hate list would equal 85% of the population.
This ever so much reminds me of the hate-talk on the night that Dr. George Tiller died and the atheist Wurlitzer cranked up to blame Christians for his murder (Yes, Duncan, it was on your blog that time) only, that would include Dr. Tiller who was ushering at his Reformed Lutheran Church as he was murdered.
While I have held that not all atheists are assholes, it's high time for those people to do what atheists are always demanding of God, prove they exist by speaking up against the ones who are. It's time that they put up or settle for people assuming they're OK with this kind of hate talk being a fixed trait of atheists.
