This is truly hilarious, but at the same time completely depressing.

Its so sad that so many people give a shit about other people having sex.

I mean, I suppose a person would care if they thought that the ultimate being in the universe gave a shit, but please anyone stupid enough to think that there is more truth in old books and scrolls than in any contemporary fiction novel is probably devoid of the ability to use logic and reason anyways. Church leaders could start saying that invisible leprechauns formed the Illuminati that runs the world, and that gay people are bad because leprechauns are actually gay people on a magical device called “short-stilts” and the faithful would still believe it!

This sort of crap wont stop until people understand that faith is not something to be proud of, but more, ashamed of.

To be a person of faith just means you are arrogant about your ignorance.

A person with faith believes that they know all the complete and ultimate truths about the universe, but when asked how they know it to be true, they simply say “I don’t know” “there is no good reason to think this way, you just gotta have faith”

How sad that any person has the desire to be “the most feared man in America”. It’s not that he wants people to fear him, it would be just as sad of he wanted to be the most (insert desired emotional response of other people here) man in America. This sounds like the emotional baggage of a person who has no confidence in his own self-opinion. He needs the opinions of other people for validation. Sadder still are the people who would be the “flock” of this emotional cripple. How low must their self-opinions be?

Picking on fundies seems sort of unfair. Like picking a fist fight with an amputee.

Funny the gay hatred from an ex-footballer. When you think that in every group of male team there is always rampant undeclared homosexuality. (see the S.A., Spartians, …). A guy happy with his sexuality (straight, bi, homo) has no problem with other sexuality. This guy spend probably all his carrer dreaming about the genital and or the arse of his buddies.

What exactly is this doomsday ‘gay agenda’ anyway? A knee-jerk term to get Pavlovian bursts of anger from Bible-thumping bigots at the thought that Christians are having their power to repress stripped away, perhaps?

Good … religious people are just as good at running business. Or, is their some sort of bigotry and stereotyping going on here?

If there is, then it’s not be true freethinkers.

Redmond is in Washington. It’s separate from Seattle.

Damn it, Arcanum, you rumbled me. And to Marcus, I would like to point that a link to Scott Lively’s The Pink Swastika: Homosexuals and the Nazi Party (Keizer, Oregon: Founders Publishing Company, 1995) exists on Stephen Green’s Christian Voice website (see yesterday’s post below). This, clearly, puts British homophobe and nutjob Green in the same league as the vicious Watchmen. See http://www.christianvoice.org......ss045.html

Hutcherson may be a clown, but he an extremely dangerous one who is has close connections with an evangelical organisation called Watchmen on the Walls, which has its roots in Latvia. It is a virulently anti-gay group which has established a ferocious anti-gay movement in the Western US.
Watchmen leader Scott Lively co-authored a book saying gay people helped form the Nazi Party and orchestrate the Holocaust.
In Latvia, the Watchmen are popular among Christian fundamentalists and ethnic Russians, and are known for presiding over anti-gay rallies where gays and lesbians are pelted with bags of excrement. In the Western US, the Watchmen have a following among Russian-speaking evangelicals from the former Soviet Union. Members are increasingly active in several cities long known as gay-friendly enclaves, including Sacramento, Seattle and Portland, Ore.
You can learn more about the watchmen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmen_on_the_Walls
