Has pickup artist shitbag and wannabe philosopher Roosh Vaizadeh gone all Jack Chick on us?
Chick, you may recall, is the legendary fundamentalist Christian cartoonist who built a tiny publishing empire on miniature comic-book “Chick Tracts” spelling out the terrible temptations that lurk everywhere in our fallen world.
He’s not big on subtlety: in one famous tract, a heavy metal band finds grand success after signing with a manager named, I shit you not, Lew Siffer; two years later, one of the band members has died of AIDS, another of a drug overdose, and a third “is into vampirism.” But there’s a happy ending: After finding a Chick Tract, the lead singer pledges himself to Jesus, sending old Lew back to his home in hell.
In case his readers hadn’t gotten the whole Lew Siffer = Lucifer thing by that point in the tract, Mr. Chick shows him reverting to his devilish original form.
A setback for Lew, to be sure. But Mr. Siffer doesn’t give up easy, and the old man has been quite busy in recent years — at least if a recent post on Roosh’s Return of Kings blog is to be believed.
In a post with the title “Why Social Justice Is Satanic And We Need Religion To Defeat It,” Morman PUA blogger Rick Moser blames feminism on, could it be, SATAN?
Satan is every bit as real as God, and Satan’s plan for the world is feminism and social justice. Satan wants a world where men get publicly shamed for lifting too many weights at the gym or hassled by the school administrator for using gendered pronouns.
These may be small points in a big scheme of things, but hell is not some deep pit with grinning demons and flaming pitchforks. Hell is a classroom with angry, androgynous teachers and a skewed grading system.
And yes, he’s serious.
As Moser sees it, the “top priority for social justice is to destroy the authority of men,” and Satanic Social Justice Warriors have been undermining men since the days of ancient Babylon.
In Babylonian mythology, Moser tells us, a Social Justice Deity named Marduk famously murdered “Tiamat, the goddess of motherhood and beauty” and took up with the slutty “Sarpanit, synonymous with Ishtar, the goddess of sex and prostitution.”
Marduk did away with the old conservative ways and issued in progressivism. … Babylon was a feminist dream.
After reflecting a bit more on Babylon and other ancient civilizations, Moser skips ahead to the 20th century where, he says,
Radical politicians mandated laws that they said empowered women, but which really destroyed the family. They attacked people who were successful, destroyed personal liberty in the name of public welfare, and tore down the “hubris” of people who did not serve the needs of the community, the way they wanted.
The veneer may have looked new, but this revolutionary movement was no different than in ancient Babylon. …
Look at social justice warriors today and you see the same doctrine of universal salvation.
The solution? Right-thinking men and women need to embrace “[r]eligious patriarchy … the time-tested opposition to feminism and all forms of social justice.”
Lew Siffer must be quaking in his boots.
I heard that scholars are now divided on the sequence of events that gave up Job. The assumption for a long time has been that a poet wrote the middle bit of Job and a later writer tacked on a frame story and a happy ending.
Now, some people think that the bare bones story, from Satan to Happy Ending, came first, and the poet who wrote the middle Job was inserting their work into a popular folk tale.
Marry them, duh.
Feel bad, literally had to google “lew siffer” thinking it was a fictitious representation of a real person before realizing that it’s a pun.
“There’s no polite way of putting it. Conservatives these days have gone INSANE. They have gone completely, totally, stark-staring mentally-ill.”
OK, couple things here. Long time reader and lurker.
Firstly – conspiracy beliefs are actually more mainstream and widely accepted that generally credited.
But can we drop the abelist language? Conservatives as a whole have not gone “insane” or are “mentally-ill”. The beliefs of some may be illogical or irrational. But one can hold irrational beliefs without being mentally ill.
Mental illness – like being vision impaired or any other disability – shouldn’t be used as a descriptor for what is “wrong” or considered the “other”.
I am mentally impaired and am offended by the use of the word insane as an epithet. Certain people who I know have good intentions need to check their privilege at the door and use correct terminology before smearing an entire group.
God hates hate.
Hi David
thanks for mentioning Mardukh, my ancestors worshipped him, now I know why Jews, Christians, and Muslims hate him, and anything related to Babylonian history, and us the descendants of this great civilization.
Jeremiah 22: 3-5
Thus says the Lord, “Do justice and righteousness, and deliver the one who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor. Also do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the orphan, or the widow; and do not shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you men will indeed perform this thing, then kings will enter the gates of this house, sitting [a]in David’s place on his throne, riding in chariots and on horses, even the king himself and his servants and his people. 5 But if you will not obey these words, I swear by Myself,” declares the Lord, “that this house will become a desolation.”
Jeremiah was an SJW. A Satanic double agent. Who knew?
(Read the whole chapter. Then rub it in the face of anyone who complains about SJW’s.)
@Steve D unfortunately a lot of anti-sjws are my fellow atheists, so I don’t know how convincing that’ll be… Since a lot of those are more anti-theist than atheist possibly less than nothing :-/
@Keated:
Sigh. Yeah. It’s why I’ve left movement atheism. I am still happily godless and non-prophet, but I don’t want to stand shoulder to shoulder with people like that. You are known by the company you keep, after all.
@Steve D: This! I’m saving this! Thank you! Now I know where to point if I run into a Christian fundie anti-SJW
