Patheos Lambasts Julio Severo for Mentioning Islamic Origin of Statue of Liberty
By Julio
Severo
In
his Patheos’s piece titled “Wingnut:
Statue of Liberty a ‘Pagan Curse’ on America,” atheist author Ed Brayton
said,
“Just when you
thought the wingnuts couldn’t become any more ridiculous, they manage to top
their own world record for utter stupidity. Julio Severo, a Brazilian blogger,
writes at — of course — BarbWire that the Statue of Liberty is a pagan symbol
that has cursed America. Because Islam, something something something.”
* An article titled “The Statue of
Liberty Was Originally a Muslim Woman” by the Smithsonian Institution says exactly the contrary of Patheos and Brayton.
The Smithsonian Institution is a group of museums and research centers
administered by the Government of the United States.
* There
is also the DailyBeast article titled
“The Statue of Liberty Was Born a Muslim.”
Is
this enough? Are we hearing atheist
Ed Brayton calling the Smithsonian Institution and the DailyBeast
“wingnuts”?
It seems that Brayton does not like
to use Google to search for very basic answers. This problem is widespread
among left-wingers. They do not like answers. But they like to make trouble. “Die
Hard Democrat” criticized me
for the same reason of Brayton.
Brayton
closed his diatribe by saying:
“People often
ask me why I write about these people and their bizarre ideas. The answer, one
would think, should be obvious: Because there are a lot of people out there who
actually believe this stuff. Millions and millions and millions of them. They
influence elections. They run government agencies. They sit on university
boards and design homeschool curricula. Their ideas are distributed on websites
like BarbWire, owned by a guy who was the assistant dean of the Liberty
University Law School, which is hugely influential on the Christian right. We
need to shine the light on this deranged ideology rather than ignore it.”
In the article “Christian Women Gathered in Washington To
March Against Feminism and Abortion,” Patheos criticized Christian
women who would protest feminism and abortion. The criticism’s author is
atheist Sarahbeth Caplin.
In “Dear Christian Conservative: An
Open Letter from an Ex-evangelical,” a Patheos’ progressive “Christian” who
abandoned evangelicalism urges evangelical readers to abandon evangelicalism
and conservatism. She will have a hard time in her mission, because no real conservative
evangelical would read Patheos.
* Brian McLaren, a progressive Protestant
minister who supports gay “marriage.”
* Qasim Rashid,
a Muslim author.
* Warren Throckmorton, a neocon and progressive
Protestant psychologist who
does not want evangelicals involved in wars against homosexual “marriage,” but
wants them involved in neocon wars against conservative Russia. (For
information on neocons, read: “What
Is Neoconservatism? Who are the Neocons?”)
* Brad Hirschfield, a liberal Jewish
author.
* Vivianne Crowley, a high priestess of
Wicca.
* Bristol Palin, daughter of former U.S.
Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
* Frank Schaeffer, a progressive “Christian”
who is the son of the late conservative Reformed theologian and author Francis
Schaeffer. Frank became a liberal, pro-abortion and pro-sodomy Democrat and
today he attacks all conservative stances of his father.
Patheos
has many other progressive “Christian”, atheistic, Muslim, pagan and
spiritualistic writers. If you are not conservative, you are welcome in
Patheos! It is not a place for true followers of Jesus Christ.
Yet,
it is the perfect place for left-wing wingnuts like Ed Brayton, who called me
“wingnut” because liberals, progressives, socialists and left-wingers have a
terrible habit of accusing their victims of what they are.
Three years ago, Brayton
used the same name-calling against me. He has also labeled movie star Chuck Norris a “moron”
because Norris said that if Obama were elected in 2012, his socialism would
lead America to 1,000 years of darkness.
Yet, he is mistaken both in this
effort and on the idea that the Statue of Liberty had no Islamic origin.
As
far as it depends on progressive “Christian,” atheistic, Muslim, pagan and
spiritualistic wingnuts, Patheos’s anti-Christian religious Babylon will bless a
pagan-Islamic idol in New York cursing America.
