CADC's hatred and persecution of homosexuals

:bang:

I feel so sorry for these people who wear blinders all of their lives. Mostly for the kids that are forced to believe whatever their parents believe and hold up signs of hatred.

And if they can't accept a minority that is basically:
a) are generally accepting of all others (except haters) because they know what it's like to be discriminated against
b) provides goods and services just like they do and pay taxes
and c) ...(I will think of something)

then they can go - :***::***: themselves. :dry:

In my opinion they need to stop reading the Bible or their religious texts so literally and actually live life and get to know some more people outside their usual "circles". The world can be a beautiful place outside those circles...

 

Those people are just pathetic and sad. It's funny how they can be so hateful and say such mean things about gays, then claim they're the oppressed ones! How pathetic. I don't feel one bit sorry for them.

 

This is sick and wrong.

P.S. Please please please remember that not all Christians are like this!!

 

^ Definitely agree

But I just get such a bad feeling when faith backs up statements like these. Like the Inquisition or the Crusades. That's probably a little extreme but...it's just sad to me. We need to stick together.(*hug*) We have the power to turn their words into lies with our actions. :soapbox: And how DARE they attack music too! .

 

what is scary about the inquisition is that the governing body of the catholic church which was incharge of the inquisition still exists, and never ceased being a active body.

Scarier thing is, the current pope was the head of it. it now is just refered to by the church as a body upholding doctrine and dogma of the church.

Religion has a place... and not in politics.

when religion invades the political progress, hypocracy is taken to whole new levels.

in a democratic society based on englightenment ideals *I.E. a seperation from the violent rules of the theocracy*, we should be, and or founding fathers fought that we would be protected from religious interference.

the fundie christians fight to take away the rights of everyone but themselves. but the moment a law is put in place to protect the civil rights of people on the basis of violence against their persons for the color of their skin, their gender, or their orientation, the fundies start crying that people are taking away their rights.

READ YOUR FUCKIN BIBLE YOU BASTERDS! thou shell not murder you peices of shit!

It is a sin to cause harm to another person... it is not your right to do so either.

They hate the hate-crimes bills... well sorry, but your own bible says your wrong and going to hell simply for hate.

But you can always tell a fundementalist from a real christian... a fundementalist is someone who only holds everyone else up to the bible while they go on stealing, killing, beating their wives, and molesting their children.

 

:bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang:

That's really all I can say.....

 

How about replacing the above with something to really whine about (for fun, not for reals):

i. Voters in several state referenda have invalidated all marriages not performed by a judge, such as those performed and sanctioned by churches. Exit poll results show most people voting for the invalidations did so because they didn't want religious marriage taught in school or the (neo)-christian lifestyle being promoted.

"You can pray, worship, and live together all you want, but keep it in the bedroom. And stop trying to indoctrinate my kids!" - Angry Protester

ii. Over six hundred military personnel were dishonorably discharged this year for being discovered as christian.

"In this great country dedicated individuals can serve in our armed forces regardless of faith, or lack thereof. However, if it comes to the attention to your commanding officer that you worship zombie sometimes three, sometimes one, all knowing and powerful, so-called alpha and omega god, unit cohesion may be put at risk. You will therefore not be allowed to serve any further. It is okay if you openly worship some other deity like a normal person though." - Admiral

iii. Churches raided for no apparent reason, disrupting Christmas service. Seven were arrested on charges of causing public disturbance, unlawful distribution of alcohol, and/or assaulting an officer. At least one worshipper is in the intensive care ward, reportedly suffering from bleeding of the brain.

"They were just singing their hymns like they do all the time, praying, praising, and passing communion," said one neighbour and witness to the raid. "Then all of a sudden the police show up and cuff 'em and shoved one on the ground really hard."



"But wait!" you exclaim. "There were marriage referenda in California and Maine. There is a prohibition against open or discovered gays and lesbians from serving in the forces. And there was that Fort Worth gay bar raid for no apparent reason on the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall rebellion."

 

It seems like this sort of thing just facilitates the whole 'us-against-them' attitude among gay people and Christians. I mean that last statement is just a lie in the same way that them saying that 'all gays transmit AIDS' or 'gay marriage will destroy society' are lies.

I'm a huge fan of Martin Luther King Jr and his philosophy of taking the high ground in the civil rights movement. His idea being that by taking the high ground of non-violence and love during the civil rights campaign, you could win your oppressors in the process.

I think these guys in the OP are douchebags, but as a Christian and a gay person I see huge misunderstanding on both sides.

 

Please, I'm eating.

 

This is so stupid and. . .it's ultimately power and bigotry feeding on ignorance. . .

 

That is absolutely horrifying and makes all Christians look bad.

 

I consider it making fundies and extremist christians look bad more than it makes the majority of christians look bad.
