Here's another one that drives me up the fucking wall.
Conservatives don't know the difference between legalized prostitution and sex slavery.
What a fascinating example of the use of conflation by religious fundamentalists. It's like a fucked-up associative property as applied to morality in a black and white universe:
Sex slavery = bad
Prostitution = bad
Therefore,
Prostitution = Sex Slavery
Add abortion, marijuana, assisted suicide, liberalism, secularism, humanism, atheism, materialism, evolution, homosexuality, and wearing clothing made of more than one fabric (*) to the list of things that get the fundies' collective panties in a bunch, and you've got a pretty simple picture of what's "bringing the world straight to hell".
(*) I keep forgetting, the fundies don't tend to harp on that one so much. Funny that, since they pretend to be following the Bible and all.
These cretins actually believe that without their narrow-minded superstition the world would be in chaos. Funny, then, that their actions cause so much of the chaos in the world (classic cycle of denial and projection, I suppose). They believe that atheists have no morals, and that without belief in an invisible man in the sky (and the notion of some kind of system to hold you accountable for your actions in life after you die), civilization as we know it would just up and collapse, lawlesness would be rampant, etc, etc.
Funny, then, that atheists are *way* underrepresented in prison populations.
Never heard an explanation for that one from the "Religion = morality" crowd.
