So someone preaching hatred need not be mocked, or stopped? While I'm glad that at least now he'll shut the fuck up, it does bother me that Christians in general don't make a point of saying "This man doesn't represent MY beliefs" and a pig like this still made FAT cash- someone was supporting his hatred with their money, and LOTS of them.
Jana, many Christians did. The press just didn't cover that. The Southern Baptist Convention was split down the middle over Jerry Falwell and the fundie agenda. IN general,Jerry Falwell wasn't welcome in any of the following churches United Methodist, Presbyterian, United Church of Christ, the Unitarian Church, the Episcopal Church, and others. Sad but we did get the press that he did. Only our own members heard what we had to say about his agenda.
Sure, why renounce that good Christian organisation the KKK just because they hate niggers, isn't it their right to hate niggers?
That one takes the cake. I don't know of any real Christian who doesn't believe that the KKK is evil and is diametrically opposed to anything remotely Christian. And there they are with their burning white crosses. I have never known even the fundies say openly that the KKK was Christian. I know of some KKK membes right here in my town. Let's see one was a convicted child molester, one the town drunk and the list goes on. A bunch of assholes who can't find their butt with both hands.
And their they go putting forth the cross and claiming Christianity. It makes me sick to my stomach when I hear of them doing that. The KKK is as bad as the Nazis. They would kill every black person in this country if they could get away with it. Bastards they are.
Yes, they have the right to hate "niggers." They don't have a right to ram their beliefs down my throat or anyone else's. They should be silenced at every legal turn there is.
The Bible flat out SAYS homosexuality is a sin, should anyone need to look any further for Truth than that? Why ISN'T it okay to preach against the fucking kweers? I don't see a problem with it, why can you just keep your hateful words to yourself while Bubba Jo's speaking?
We've had this conversation before. Jana is being facetious about the Bible. Those who know the truth about the Bible's translation know that the Bible condemning gay relationships is very questionable and I for one don't believe that is what the writers of the ancient texts said. Male prostitutes and fertility religions was the topic in the Bible. Gay relationsihps as we know it aren't what the writers were talking about at all.
Of course the fundies have their own translations to say otherwise. That is their problem
Some people really ARE too goddamned stupid to see even extremely obvious patterns, really can't understand that this "fight" against kweers is EXACTLY the same as the fights against equality for women and blacks. The arguments are the same, and frankly the attitude is getting a little boring. You backwoods assholes could save the rest of the planet a lot of grief by accepting NOW what you'll be forced to accpet in 30 to 50 years- that we really ARE all deserving of equal treatment under the law, or the law means nothing. Of course, if you'd stop fighting the inevitable, you'd stop dragging the whole Human race to such a slow turtle's pace that we might just blow ourselves up in an unsupervised third-grade science experiment. Gawd, is there's anyone alive who really doesn't see that a race that is even as evolved as we are should have developed some better methods of dispute resolution by now than beating the shit out of each other in the parking lot?
Jesus Christ, people are so fucking stupid. Save us.
