[On the Alabama church arsons]
It sounds like a bunch of atheists to me thinking it's their civic duty to combat Dieism.

Kathy should be a criminal profiler. She's a natural!
"No, not one person matching this profile I'm pushing is in our records as having committed this kind of crime -- in fact, there is a clear pattern suggesting another profile -- but it just *makes so much sense to me*!"
Sure makes for some good detective work, there.
No, it's militant pro-lifers against "Dieism."
Amazing how in that thread, all the people assume that the people responsible were radical liberal atheists or Muslims (which = ter'rist in the fundie mind).
You know, we've been focussing on the "die" part of "Dieism."
Let's take a step back, and pretend like Kathy spelled it correctly as "Deism."
Deists and Atheists tend to get along quite well, for the most part.
And I can't really think of the last time I heard of a Deist church or even a congregation. Am I totally off the wall here, or aren't most deists more or less solitary practitioners, so to speak?
No, Dieism is about worshipping the Die. First they get children interested with games like Dungeons and Dragons, then they get into games with more advanced dice mechanics. That's how those sneaky Dieists and their dice convert kids to Dieism. I read all about it from Jack Chick.
I've seen a few cases where church burnings have turned out to be parishioners or the clergy. I'm not saying that some Atheists might not torch a church but there's almost always a personal reason for arson. Someone picked those churchs for a reason, one might have lost their faith in those walls.
One that becomes an Atheist after years of submission to the church may carry resentment to the lies and deceptions or abuse.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
