As Meditation 947 was based on a particularly ignorant response the the death of Christopher Hitchens, I am following up with more of the ignorance which Hitchens fought against.
First of all, we have a preacher, Bryan Fischer, who tells us that Hitchens is in Hell because God loved him.
Isn't that such a wonderful God? Doesn't it make you want to become a Christian just like Bryan Fischer?
Now that, presumably, was an "educated" Christian. He holds a graduate degree in theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. What about less educated Christians who are limited to 140 characters to expound on the gospel of love.
Immediately after Dawkins' death, the hashtag #GodIsNotGreat began trending on Twitter.
Here are some of the comments from those who disagreed with the concept and who apparently think God is Really Great And Supportive of Murder:
- @ShepardKinz: WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK? Whoever started #GodIsNotGreat needs the shit beat out of them! >:I HOW DARE YOU!
- @kritikagoyal007: #GodIsNotGreat Gotta kill the preson who said this..!
- @ThatCruzGirl: If you're really comin up with reason why #GodIsNotGreat, kill yourself
- @VL_TooTaLL: Who ever made #GodIsNotGreat TT kill yourself
- @EricCarterr: #godisgreat should be trending smh why is #GodIsNotGreat trending I will kill you all
That's the first five of BuzzFeed's 25 Ridiculous Reactions To #GodIsNotGreat. My own personal favourite on the list is number 20:
@JohnWilson_50: Whoever started dis #GodIsNotGreat I will personally beat yu da fuck up asswhole... I jus prayed for yu thp.
Violence and prayer - @JohnWilson_50 shows that true Christian spirit.
