Democrats Are ‘Children Of Satan,’ Right-Wing Radio Host Says

[Statilius the Epicurean]

Modern secular social liberalism has at its root the same pitch as Satan gave to Eve: you know better than God, so why follow His rules? In a very literal way, social liberalism, atheism, libertarianism, etc. could all be labeled as Satanic and rightfully so.

Uh, no, the pitch is: we don't know what God wants, so why follow man-made rules on the justification that they are God-given?

[Statilius the Epicurean]

RI is one of my least favorite types to discuss politics with: assumes the truth of his own position and then psychologises those who disagree with him from there. Rather than starting from "atheist liberals take a position of epistemic humility as to whether God exists or not", he jumps immediately to "the truth of Christianity is obvious, therefore atheist liberals must wilfully deny God because they hate him/are debauched"

If left atheists deny God because moral commandments are too hard, then why are so many of them vegetarian out of concern for animal welfare?

And then one can make the point that so far as religions go Christianity is pretty bloody easy on personal commitments, considering all you have to do is confess your sins on your deathbed to go to heaven...
