Here's the thing you need to remember: All those people who tell you that homosexuality is a sin, but they love you? They don't. They think you are a lesser form of life.Gene then linked to this story about the three American evangelical preachers who were instrumental in persuading the Ugandan government to make being gay a capital crime (and who are now trying to cover up their involvement). One of the three asswipes involved, a turd named Don Schmierer, made the classic statement of bigots:
Act accordingly.
“Some of the nicest people I have ever met are gay people.”Sure he does, and I bet he has gay people over for Sunday brunch all the fucking time.
I cannot begin to express the level of disgust and contempt I have for those guys in the Christian Taliban and their ilk. They are below contempt and I would be happy never to have to have ever mentioned their existence. I have not the slightest bit of doubt that they would all fully support similar legislation being enacted in this country. It is only the amount of blowback over their involvement in Uganda which has caused them to try and walk it back. Otherwise, they'd be happy as clams to see gay people strung up.
Gene Weingarten is right.
What is it about christians (or is it any religion - I know SATSQ)that most of them can't stand to see anyone who is not as miserable as them? In their tiny little pigeonholes they look out at the big shinny world and it just scares them shitless, that everyone isn't just like them. What ever happened to individuality? Or individual responsibility? Hell what happened to the teaching their religion is based upon? Then I remember, the Puritans came here not to escape intolerance but to practice it.
ReplyDeleteBadTux has mentioned before that the Christian Taliban is motivated by the fact that people are having fun and it is up to the fundies to stop that.
ReplyDeleteI see what you've done there -
