MORE changes were made yesterday over at Tom Estes’ hysterical Christian blog, Hardtruths. In addition to declaring it an “almost atheist-free zone”, the potty pastor has changed its description from “Renaissance of Rational Thinking”, to “Exposing the Adverse Affects of Atheism on Our World”.

He explains the changes thus:

When I started this blog, I wanted to show non-Christians that truly rational thought is one that understands that we have an all-powerful, loving God who created us in His image, and sustains the world we live in. And while this obviously is the truth, a large segment of atheists that spend time on line are either unwilling or unable to see the rationale and logic behind such thinking.

The more I worked on this blog, the more I learned about logic. Logic can be used as a tool if you’re dealing with people who think the same as you, or share your world view, but it’s completely useless with those who don’t. There have been many times when I felt that I was able to construct a concrete logical argument that couldn’t be argued, only to have the very first atheist commenter attempt to rip it to shreds â€¦

There follows large swathes of twisted logic and mindless banality which I shall spare Estes the embarrassment of reproducing, but, if you have a high pain threshhold, you can read it all here.

It will come as no surprise that the first person to respond positively to the changes on Estes’ blog was our very own imbecile of a troll, the evangelist Bob Hutton from Broadstairs in Kent, who had this to say:

I know exactly what you mean by the abuse of militant atheists (sic). I have tried to reason with these people on the Freethinker web site but all I received was vitriolic abuse. Then they barred me from entering comments while they were going on about free speech. Even now are they entering up disdainful comments about you on that blog.

However, this is part of the afflictions of the Gospel (sic); enemies of the Gospel will lie and be abusive in order to try and de-stabilise us, but it won’t work because Jesus already has the victory!

To which Estes replied: “Amen Bob!”

Normally, a warm, fuzzy feeling overcomesÂ me when I successfully facilitate meetings of intelligent, like-minded people, but in this case my immediate reaction was:

Straitjackets for two, please garÃ§on!
