This has been festering in my Google Reader for a few days, and I’ve decided I really don’t want to write about it. Mike Adams blogs for the American Family Association and TownHall, and teaches, as Tintin at Sadly, No! notes, at a cow college in North Carolina. His career is pretty much stagnant, and all he really does is bitch and moan about how fundamentalist Christian men like him are the real victims, of feminists, gays, blacks, and basically whoever else doesn’t worship whatever he’s using for a penis substitute that day. He’s like the sideshow version of Bryan Fischer. In short, he’s a loser.
Anyway, he wrote a blog post about how the lib’rul media is reporting on all the gay teen suicides, but paying no attention to the spate of Christian suicides caused by gay bullies. The Christian suicides, of course, do not exist, having been entirely made up in Mike’s head. Like most of his work, it’s too puerile to be offensive to any thinking person, but if you’re interested, the aforementioned Tintin has destroyed Adams’ latest piece thoroughly, which always makes for highly entertaining reading. Here’s Tintin’s set-up, and then click the clicky for the rest:
Mike Adams has made a career, more or less, over at Clown Hall chronicling efforts by women and gays to harass him, allegedly by writing sharply-worded letters to him as well as by mentally broadcasting hateful taunts in his direction which are then picked up by his fillings and intrude into his thoughts. The latest assault on Adams’s delicate sensibilities was a series of co-ordinated suicides by gay teenagers who killed themselves expressly to embarrass Adams and to affect his standing at the cow college where he teaches.
Maybe we should write about Mike Adams more. Is he relevant enough to address?
Meh.










I thought going to Activist Judges was a bad thing.
Mike Adams makes skin crawl; he’s a bottomless pit of assholery.
I know these guys live in a Kafkaesque universe, but do they REALLY believe all this rubbish; or is it just out right lying and propaganda to promote their Homophobic Agenda?!
He’s kidding, right? I mean, its a spoof, yea? It’s The Onion? It’s MAD magazine?
Come ON… which one is it? Don’t be teasing me.
To make a joke of gay suicides by ‘imagining’ Christian harassment and death is the act of someone whose sense of right and wrong is entirely without compass. The greatest evils start with small banal acts of dehumanisation and to Adams it might look like a little blogging trick to make his piece more interesting but actually it betrays a deep malaise and lack of discernment of good and evil. Yes, evil. If evil has any meaning (and goodness knows it is overused) then what he did was evil. A deliberate act of callous indifference to real suffering – it’s just evil.
This must be a new low even with all the already low blows and the casual way they have of sweeping aside the misery of others we’ve seen from Linda Harvey, Tony Perkins et al.
I think his post demands a response because of the really insidious final paragraph. In that, he asserts that these Christians were bullied but because they have Christ in their lives, they didn’t kill themselves – it’s clear that he’s asserting that if gay teens had christ in their lives, they wouldn’t kill themselves (and of course, probably wouldn’t be gay).
The christianist ego has obliterated Jesus.
Today’s evangelicalism has no need for the life of Christ, his teachings or his purpose. It has, in fact crucified Jesus, again.
