Bible Thumper Bashing
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 01:37 PM by BOSSHOG
Excellent Article by Donald Kaul in the paper today which begins:

"I'm getting tired of being lectured on morals by my moral inferiors. I'm talking about BIBLE THUMPING EVANGELISTS, THE BRAYING HYPOCRITES who populate our nations airwaves and the smarmy virtue police who are more interested in raising our moral level than their own." And it gets better from there.

www.minutemanmedia.org (click on his column on the first page up)


(FOR CLARITY'S SAKE, THE FOLLOWING IS MY WORDS AND NOT MR KAUL'S)
Conservatives choose not to mind their own business which includes divorce, incest, teen pregnancy and spousal abuse which would take courage and honesty and instead hate homosexuals in the name of Jesus Christ which takes cowardice, ignorance and arrogance. Yes, it really does suck being a christian conservative in America today.

4. I'm with you..
I've had all I can take of these bible-thumping christo-nazi's. I am a devout Christian myself and these people do not represent my God,my Christ, my Saviour. They can take their phony scripture spewing morals and shove 'em where the "Son" don't shine.

7. One of the best, most succinct I have read on the topic.
Props to Don Kaul and BOSSHOG.

Mr. Burress says that he’s only protecting the sanctity of marriage. Who asked him to? He happens to be a recovering pornography addict who has been married three times. I don’t so much as own a pornograph and I have been married to the same woman for 47 years, most of them happy.

Who is this clown to lecture me on the sanctity of marriage? I do not feel threatened by gay marriage and I don’t see how it threatens the sanctity of heterosexual marriage.

You would think that the divorce rate would be a pretty good indicator of the sanctity of marriage, wouldn’t you? Well, the lowest divorce rate in the country is that of Massachusetts, home of legalized, gay marriage. Such bastions of religiosity as Kentucky, Arkansas and Mississippi have a divorce rate twice as high.

15. And
"Radical Christian Cleric" Jerry Falwell (or fill in the blank). What is funny (or sad depending on perspective), based on the book these people base their beliefs on, Jesus Christ is gonna whip their ass and send them straight to hell when the time comes.
