Church of the Poison Mind
The shine and buzz from all the excitement of the Washington Nationals’ inaugural season has subsided a bit, and sadly it has nothing to do with the team falling out of the wild card race. Rookie outfielder Ryan Church made comments over the weekend suggesting that Jews are headed for eternal damnation.
In a Post article about religion in the Nats clubhouse, Church said he asked a volunteer chaplain for advice about his former girlfriend, who is Jewish.
“I said, like, Jewish people, they don’t believe in Jesus. Does that mean they’re doomed? [The chaplain] nodded, like, that’s what it meant. My ex-girlfriend! I was like, man, if they only knew. Other religions don’t know any better. It’s up to us to spread the word,” Church said.
Um, like, you’re an ignorant dumbass, man. When did the Nats change the color of their shirts to brown? It must be difficult to play baseball wearing a white hood.

I hate to bring this up, since this blog is clearly not intended for high level intellectual discourse, but this post is failing to capture both sides of the debate around a monotheistic deity. While indeed naive and somewhat uninformed about the "doomed" nature of the "unsaved" Jewish believer, let us not forget that the Jews themselves refer to themselves as the "chosen ones", and their base assumption is that a belief in Jesus, when not accompanied by adherence to the dicatates of the Torah, results in eternal damnation. Don't forget that a central tenet of Islam, when interpreted with a fanatic spin, is that the more non-Allah believers you kill in the name of Allah, the more brownie points you earn in the next life.
Given your so-called liberal values, Mr. Giant, it is shocking to me that you'd be so anti-Christian. Why not just be anti-organized religion? Except don't make me give up my membership in the Church of the Poison Mind....
