Are we expecting something big today?
I only ask because the athiests, LBGT and PETA folks are suddenly posting the kind of threads that always get a laugh from Freepers and make us look like the 'loony left'.

Are we expecting an influx of Freepers so we have to show our collective ass?

3. I don't know about Jesus' personal preferences, but god can't be dead cuz.
he never lived. That's like saying Peter Pan is dead...

6. How about Jesus is dead and God is gay?
That will get them thinking. Since the prevailing beleif is that Jesus and God are really the same, the two are interchangable. Sort of like a jacket from a pantsuit that goes nicely with a skirt, too.

And if Rush wants to quote something, he can quote this: maybe a plaster made of OxyContin and booze on his ass boil back in the day would have made him combat eligible?!

20. How about "Jesus is dead" and "God is gay"?
The first one is pretty hard to dispute. They wrote about him getting executed!

And if God made Man in his own image, and Man created Pier 1... that does that say about God?

7. LOL! Go Granny, GO!!!
I was a tad offended too. It is as if posts from LGBT and animal lovers is somehow a bad thing and should be "kept under the carpet."

11. Well, to the right, it is looney. Sort of like Intelligent design to us
So if there is a spate of posts by athiests, we are going to look looney to the right. Hell, we will look looney to the right if we do not worship divine George.

14. The thing I find funniest
is the idea that we atheists are secretly plotting with the LGBT community on DU and the PETA supporters to coordinate posting threads. That simple idea takes this post from merely prejudiced to the realms of hilarity.

26. I am gay, and an athiest...I do not plot with PETA
I also do not plot with the other athiests and gay people on here to take over the board for wacky time. There is no AthioLesboHomoBiTransPETAspiricy. Please go home now and hug your mothers everyone!

That's a picture taken during one of the secret mind-control ceremonies.

12. This really begs exploration, define "Loony Left"
I'm an atheist. Am I loony because I do not believe in the ideas expressed in 2000 year old fairy tales?

15. and by being gay/lesbian or atheist...
"is showing our collective ass" ??

I think your hateful thread is doing that quite nicely on its own.

Somebody needs to pull his britches back up. :mad:

16. Shucks. We don't need to show our collective ass. Yours seems
more than big enough to put on display for anyone interested in looking.

25. May I second that????
And coming from a poster that has (what I take be) "lftist" in their screenname -- that is fucking RICH!

I guess Texas "leftists" are somewhat left of Tom Delay. :eyes:

31. Locking.
This is flame bait. Athiests, LBGT and PETA folks are all welcome members of this website. This is divisive and offensive.
