DU'er adamuu created this video.

Description:
Clips from five hate rallies, set to the tune of "Beloved (I John 4 : 7-8 )" which tells us
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

And, just in case that message is not clear, there is a clear example provided a little further down the page.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Some of my friends say it is best to ignore these clowns, but I disagree.

1. And what does The Bible say about bearing false witness?
It's a sin.

Just like all the things the believers condemn others for doing, by their very acts they are committing a sin. So, really they are no better than those they are condemning.

They just can't seem to get their tiny little minds wrapped around that fact. :eyes:

2. wow. Good point.
Small minded, indeed, but they are a powerful force in our society. I don't think they've suffered enough public embarrassment, yet.

3. I've run into these clowns. They hate being laughed at but
seem to like being angrily confronted.

4. Just as with Islam, it is time to stop taking any individual group of Christians
and portray them as being representative of all Christians. I am sure that all of us could think of Democrats that we would not like to be seen a being portrayed as representative of all Democrats or even each of us individually.

Just as I am sure that we have DUers who are Muslims and are not terrorist or support terrorism I am sure that we have many practicing Christians here who do not believe in hate even as they endure ridicule from other DUers for their beliefs.

6. You mean "you" didn't say it but on many, many occasions here at DU
I have read of the Evangelical right Christians as if they are representative of all Christianity.

7. So, you're just complaining about something some other people wrote on a different post?
Did you even watch this video??

8. Nope, I didn't and I won't. My comment is just a general comment
on something that typically occurs here (I didn't accuse anyone specifically, but it is certainly more than just "some other people").

Also, when I complain it is valuable and informative, when others do it I consider it to be "just" complaining, although I am sure that whatever I have written or how it was written has gone right over the heads of those for whom it was intended.

9. You should watch the video before commenting in its general direction.

Who knows? You might actually ::gasp:: agree with it. It took adamuu 6 hours to make it.

13. Did you miss a sarcasm or smiley tag when you said that your complaints are valuable
and informative and others are just complaining?

If you wouldn't have started people thinking about it, the obligatory "and this is why we must get rid of all religion" post would have shown up.

17. Yep, it's 4:20.
I've also seen "4;20" for chapter four verse 20. And it's sorta funny.
I can count on my fingers and toes the number of times I've been to Church, btw.

12. Not that bible crap again!
When are we going to learn there is no magical wisdom in a book written by our ignorant ancestry. Anyone can twist that book to mean anything they want fit any agenda they want. Let the right have all the religion they want and justify their hate with it. I'll stick to reason, and I don't need a book to justify my actions.

14. I believe in Love
God is Love, per the Bible, as you said. It makes for some wonderful 'pictures' in my mind as I ponder what it means in the New Testament's first commandment to Love God with all your heart, soul, mind when I translate/exchange the word "God" for "Love" so I end up with:
You shall Love Love with all your heart, soul, mind.


1 John 4:8 (New International Version)

8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

15. It's so obvious and yet it's lost on them...
one thing I don't get is the sign that said "Thank God for dead soldiers". What the heck is that supposed to mean?

16. They show their love by "rebuking" the sinner. In order to save him. It's all out of love.
:sarcasm:

22. It's a good message even for Christians who
aren't totally F'd up lunatics. The WBC lot are not real Christians. They're imposters who are using Christianity to promote their bigotries and hatred. They would denounce God himself if He confronted them.
