Christian quote on Town of Walker, Louisiana water bill

You think your water bill or other utility bills are outrageous? Wait until you see the ones they are sending out from the Town of Walker, Louisiana!

At first glance they look pretty much like any other water bill, until you get to the bottom, where it prominently says, and I quote, “NOTE: It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible!”

Impossible? WTF? I mean, why specifically God and the Bible? Why not Allah and the Koran, or The Flying Spaghetti Monster and the hilarious Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster for that matter? Are those any worse than the Bible when it comes to rightly governing the world?

Tell me, Town of Walker! I want to know.

I could get started discussing who actually wrote the so-called ‘word of God’, and I’d never end if I had to tackle the merits of the Bible as an ideal book to govern the world by.

I could pull up a thousand quotes to show that the Bible is far from being an ideal book. I could be asking the good folks over at the Town of Walker, Louisiana if they think we should govern the world on the basis that women are inferior. I could ask the Town of Walker, Louisiana if they are suggesting we should stone our children to death when they disobey. I could ask them if they think that those who govern the world should go on a genocidal rampage against their enemies, as God has ordered time and again. I could ask them a thousand such questions, and have to listen to a thousand apologetic, evasive or circular arguments.

But I won’t, because there is a greater issue here. A much greater issue. What has a quote about God and the Bible ever got to do with a sodden water bill?

I’ll tell you what. It’s that all that some religious people think of is pushing their brainwashed beliefs down our throats at all costs, whenever they can, and in whatever way they can. They don’t care what you or I think. They don’t give a fuck. They know the ultimate truth, and that’s that.

Just that if you ask them why God and why the Bible, the answer you’ll get will most probably boil down to, ‘because God says so in the Bible’.

Way to go Town of Walker, Louisiana. Now all the world will know just what a backwater you are!

BTW. There’s a phone number and address on the water bill, in case you want to let them know what you think.   ; )
