If the picture on the left shocks you more than the one on the right
you need to revise your views on immorality.

11. After all, they could lift themselves up by their own bootstraps.
But, for me, it would be immoral to post my usual snarky comments without also sharing a worthy organization that helps to end poverty --

Oxfam International
http://www.oxfamamerica.org/

If you have another that you like, I hope you'll share it, and contribute.

2. One has nothing to do with the other
I've seen this in at least three threads.

3. Ah yes they do have to do with each other
According to the President and other Defenders of the Holy Sacrament, God is focused on the left photo, and thus they put energies into McClurkin events, Prop 8, visits with Rick Warren....What do they do for the least among us? Is 'defending marriage' really helpful to the starving? Obama and the rest of them claim they oppose gay people because of a religion that commands them to see the hungry as God in flesh, the needy as Christ Homself, yet they allow him to starve while they clutch pearls about gay people.
The religious who condemn gay people are in breach of their own stated faith. I think they have no faith, just bigotry wrapped in dogma, for they are willing to see kids die whie they steam about 'those people'.
Those who take up such positions should Be reminded of the choices they claim their God demands.

7. You're assuming people who hate gays do nothing for the world's starving
And you're assumptions are based on stereotyping and bigotry because you're judging an entire class of people because some of them are stupid. I know a lot of So-called Christians who hate gays but who give generously to starving people, and I know a lot of Christians who have and love their gay friends.

13. What point? That you're a bigot against all Christians?
How can anyone miss that point? You're blatant.

14. The point is
If you are more troubled by seeing two men kiss than seeing starving children your moral compass is off. It has NOTHING to do with being anti Chrisitan.

8. My head isn't the one with the problem
You're assumptions are based on stereotyping and bigotry because you're judging an entire class of people because some of them are stupid. I know a lot of So-called Christians who hate gays but who give generously to starving people, and I know a lot of Christians who have and love their gay friends and relatives.

4. None of the four is a fetus


So we know Rightwingers don't care about any of them.

Except if the ones on the right dare grow up ........and then become gay in Uganda, maybe the Rightwing can execute them by proxy...

Great poster, though, if you ignore my cynicism.
