Hands that throw do more than lips that pray!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why stoning?<\/strong> As I said on <a href=\"http:\/\/162.243.68.163\/?p=1034\">last year&#8217;s day of prayer<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Yesterday you defied our secular, Islamist government by praying loudly to Jesus in public. Today, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time to do good, locally. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time to demonstrate your patriotism. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time to stone heretics and heathens.<\/p>\n<p>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an ancient tradition. Honor killings have been practiced for centuries to strengthen and purify communities. Stoning unbelievers completely to death is optional, but going \u00e2\u20ac\u0153all the way\u00e2\u20ac\u009d does prove your piety and discourage retribution. I discourage honor killing, because it is illegal\u00e2\u20ac\u201cfor now\u00e2\u20ac\u201cand we should all obey the law (unless your church leaders say it is OK to break it). But who can blame you if you get carried away! It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s such a great feeling to loft a nice big ornamental stone, confident in the knowledge that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not the one being stoned.<\/p>\n<p>Some might say that a Day of Stoning is unfair to atheists, or that it favors religions that promote stoning over those that do not. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be ridiculous! Most major religions support stoning (read your Bible!). Anyway, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only just the one day. You still have 364 days of godless constitutional law and equality. Even if it was every day, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a violation of anybody\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rights, because you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to participate if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not religious. Just leave the country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, leaving the country isn&#8217;t he only way for heretics to indicate to other, godly people that they don&#8217;t want to participate in the fun. You can also stay indoors, wear a burkha, or easiest of all, be male and obviously straight. (If there&#8217;s any question at all about your masculinity, it&#8217;s best if you stay indoors.)<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Satan&#8217;s Minions killed the Day of Prayer, but this year it is alive and well! Like a zombie, although obviously not wandering around, moaning and trying to eat your head. Now that you&#8217;ve spent the day praying and enjoying your religious freedom(*) inwardly, it&#8217;s time to enjoy religious freedom(*) outwardly! Grab a rock and go to town! Literally!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>* Note: &#8220;religious freedom&#8221; in this context applies to Christians only<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year, the US National Day of Stoning falls on May 4.
