Once again, the Salvation Army (Navy?) are proselytising using our stolen taxes on the helpless and vulnerable of our community by trading compulsory prayers for meals that we atheists paid for!

And the so-called reporters are lapping up their noxious notions and regurgitating it as “good news”.

Example in point:

Theodore enjoys ‘Salvos Last Supper’

The Salvation Army will serve its last meal in Theodore tonight as the central Queensland town continues its recovery from record flooding.

Locals are calling it ‘the Salvos’ Last Supper’.

The Salvation Army has served up almost 2,000 meals in Theodore since residents were allowed back to their homes and businesses.

Captain Jeffrey Bush says they have been providing three meals a day for up to 300 people.

Not conjured from a minimal amount of loaves and fishes, as their mythical 3-in-1 sky gods are supposed to have done.

My, how miracle appear to have diminished in the past 2K years.

Don’t forget throughout this diatribe that the Salvation Navy REQUIRE a prayer from the stricken before the meal is consumed.

Some folk suggest that because it is effectively meaningless to most recipients, that it matters not.

I say to them: how would you react if a tax-free religious group gave “free” meals, but required you to lick a leper’s stumps as a condition of so doing?

For it is exactly the same argument.

Think about it. Most folk will not acquire leprosy doing this. In fact leprosy is less communicable than theism, and less harmful to others if contracted.

Who ever heard of a leper flying ‘planes into buildings, or issuing fatwas on non-lepers?

“Sourcing the meals has actually been quite challenging as food shortages in the area have gradually increased,” he said.

Easily solved by the faithful. See “Loaves & Fishes” and the baby Jesus’ promise that all things shall come to those who pray.

I guess that the Salvos haven’t yet read the bible (seriously).

But there have not been many complaints.

Obviously not. Not when you give them no choice whatsoever. Hobson’s choice.

Clint Conroy, like most people, has been grateful for a hot meal.

“Home-cooked meals like Mum cooks – good feed,” he said.

Yet they did not quiz him as to whether he was grateful for having to lie about a non-existent sky-daddy in order to be eligible.

The Red Cross and other support services will remain in Theodore until the end of the week.

Why don’t they build an Ark?

What the fuck is their excuse for not building an Ark?
