A BRAND new layer of paranoia has been added to the maelstrom of madness raging in the mind of Britain’s daftest Christian fundie, Stephen “Birdshit” Green.
Just days before Lynne Featherstone, the Equalities Minister, revealed this weekend that the new ConDem coalition was considering allowing same-sex unions to take place in churches – replete with all the bells and whistles and priestly hogwash – Green, writing from the confines of his padded cell, argued that homosexuals had no real interest in marriage and monogamy but were intent instead on sabotaging the institution to further their hedonistic agenda.

Comparing gay marriage to counterfeit £50 notes, Green wrote:
There is a certain number of £50 notes in circulation. Every counterfeit note depresses the value of the real ones. In the same way, the counterfeit of marriage which is civil partnership reduces the value of real marriage, and if homosexuals were allowed to marry, it would be devalued further.
But he then argues that most homosexuals reject the idea of marriage or civil unions. Quoting figures from that bastion of objectivity, The Family Reseach Council in the US, Green points out that:
A mere 21 percent of homosexual men and women registered themselves as civil partners in the state of Vermont, compared to 52 percent of the population in married couple households. Despite a clamour for its introduction and fanfares accompanying civil partnership legislation in Sweden and same-sex ‘marriage’ in the Netherlands, only 2 percent of Swedish homosexuals and just under 3 percent of their Dutch counterparts registered after a year.
So, if so few of the The Gays are getting spliced, what precisely is the problem?
Green seizes on a quote from US gay activist Michelangelo Signorile who said that homosexuals should:
Demand the right to marry not as a way of adhering to society’s moral codes but rather to debunk a myth and radically alter an archaic institution.
Green, who quotes the FRC as saying that “the extremely low rate of sexual fidelity among homosexual men dramatically contrasts with the high rate of fidelity among married heterosexuals”, concludes:
The radical idea to transform marriage into a less-than faithful institution is doomed to failure. But that does not alter the fact that every homosexual civil union, let alone gay marriage, cheapens every real marriage. Laughing at ‘the gays’ and their futile attempts to ape heterosexuality – even at their efforts to redefine marriage – is not enough. Decent people must oppose their whole agenda.

Stephen green isn’t alone in his paranoid twattishness, According to American conspiracy nut alex jones children are being snatched from “normal” families and being placed with gay couples in order to undermine the family and thus bring about the new world order, doesn’t it make you feel safer knowing that you share oxygen with such complete and utter bampots like alex jones and stephen green.

What’s the continued fascination with Stephen Green? Does he get this much attention anywhere else these days?
July 5th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Well, I just Googled christian voice and on the first page got half a dozen hits where this idiots views were reported in national and local papers in the past two weeks or so, so I’d say he is getting a fair bit of attention and when he has one of his witnessing bashes that pretty much makes all the papers so in my view whatever he has to say is relevant and worth reporting if only for the entertainment value.
And the thing is, while he may not have many direct followers, there are still too many who agree with some of his views, so the more this twat is held up to ridicule and exposed for the lunatic that he is, the better.
July 5th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Most people recognise anything Green says as birdshit.
Don’t get mad at him, get creative.
Ridicule is the best weapon:

July 5th, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Why would any self-publicist want to appear to be a total conceited bigoted small minded nasty little fuckwit every time they open their mouths.
He also appears to be comepletely obsessed with gay sex. Does he ever think about anything else all day?
He comes across as a very sick individual indeed.
July 5th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Fair enough Angie. I just tried “stephen green” “christian voice” in Google News and got 3 results within the last month. Bing gave one.
Looks like his media attention is largely limited to spicing up flagging news items. “I know, let’s ask that potty guy, whatsisname… Stephen Green, what he thinks. Bound to be entertaining.” Easier than asking the Archbishop of Canterbury, I suppose.
July 5th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
Like all self-publicising prigs, old Birdshit can count on being heard simply by being extreme. In fact the amount of publicity he attracts is probably directly proportional to how inane the twaddle is that spews out of his idiotic mouth.
July 5th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
That rings a bell – isn’t that the institute that had George Alan Rekers on the founding board?
You remember.. him of “I can’t carry my luggage so I’ll just hire a
rent-boyyoung man 40 years my junior for the weekend to ‘help me.’” And the massages.I’m still getting bile in my in-box off the FRC, having made a suggestion on their website that they should perhaps hire older porters, and they ignored my request that they shouldn’t email me.
July 5th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
I heard an interview this morning by some demented C of E Bishop who compared a gay priest who wants to be a bishop and is now celibate to a thief who has given up stealing so that he can be a policeman. Nice eh! He was opposed by another C of E bishop who seemed quite sane.
They seem to be obsessed with sex – gay or otherwise. While the world is going to hell – figuratively – all they can do is worry about sex. What’s wrong with them?
July 5th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
Why is it always the nut nuts get all of the valuable publicity and inbound links…such is life eh!
July 5th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Isn’t ‘holy matrimony’ cheapened by those heterosexuals getting divorces like there’s no tomorrow, causing a lot of trouble for the kids that are very often involved? Steven doesn’t seem to have given those divorces a thought. And if I were as obsessed with sex as the likes of Steven are, I wouldn’t get any work done or have any kind of life, but maybe that’s just his problem.
July 5th, 2010 at 5:09 pm
“contrasts with the high rate of fidelity among married heterosexuals” How does he explain the married guys that proposition me for a bit of man on man? He’s so obsessed by gay sex I’m just waiting for the scandal to break.

@ Broga Here’s some more on that story you mentioned:

And here’s another about Nazi Ratzi’s UK visit that will probably make you go apoplectic!

July 5th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
The main problem with this type of nutjob is not that he exists or in what he says.
It is the fact that there are 50 bazillion religious arse-holes out there that agree with his pure BS.
If it was just him who cares?!?!
We as a group and scientists and others have debunked all his crap many time and those 50 bazillion DON’T CARE!!! They HATE (fill in the blank) period.
We must be patient and keep up the ridicule in the hopes of turning around the young set and wait for the old haters to die!! cuz they will not change.
July 5th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
I worry that religion and other superstitions will always be with us because certain people are actually incapable of rational thought. Look at Green’s forged banknote analogy, it fails on several levels. Firstly, a forged note is dependant on the deception that it is a real one to serve its purpose, if Green is claiming that a gay marriage is like a forgery trying to pass itself off as the real thing that would mean that gay couples must be really difficult to spot. Secondly, the value of money depends upon the supply and demand of both the currency and of the goods that people want to buy with it. I can’t quite see how there is a supply and demand principle that applies to married couples.
Of course all arguments against gay marriage fail because there really are no rational arguments against it. I can also state that I have no interest to declare here, I am a happily married heterosexual.

@Marcus
That second link you posted regarding the cost of Ratty’s visit.
There’s often the “Have Your Say” option where you can post a comment, but not for that article. Any dissenting voices will go unheard and I’m sure Broga will tell you why.

Cracking holiday. Back to the dungeon tomorrow unfortunately.

Taking bets now, that thus antigay ass will be caught lifting luggage soon, just like the rest of them.
July 5th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
The number and validity of $50 in circulation has no effect on the value of one you hold. Either a $50 note in your hand is valid and valuable, or it is not – there is no averaging of all notes in circulation to determine its value.
So please explain again Mr birdshit how other marriages devalue your own?
July 5th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
Hey, at least Green compares our partnerships to fake £50. notes instead of fake $5. bills like Mike Judge. An inflation of sorts I suppose.

Amusingly, Judge Dread gets almost no support out of over 200 comments for pretty much the same reasons as discussed above.
July 5th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
That Mike Judge is such an arrogant prick. I hope the Yanks aren’t misled by his claim that the Unchristian Institute won the Lillian Ladele case! This video, which is featured alongside his, was posted on another blog recently, and is an absolute classic. Just take note of who has produced it!!

They have a lot of nerve preaching about authenticity. They wouldn’t know the truth if it hit them upside the head.
July 6th, 2010 at 12:32 am
But Jesus gave them the truth in a big book, Buffy! And talking of big books – just look at the size of that Bible that Green is holding. When I was a Christian, people who carted about great tomes like that were ridiculed even by other Christians. The general consensus was that the bigger the Bible the smaller the intellectual ability!!

@ Broadsword – damn – I wish I still worked in a dungeon, the sound of leather on butt. The creak of the restraints. The jingle of chains. The comfy chair… Ah. Happy days.

It is often suggested, BarrieJohn, that men who drive large, overpowered vehicles are somehow compensating for their under-endowment in the pants department. Surely you not implying that the same rule extends to Bibles …?

July 6th, 2010 at 10:20 am
@Marcus. Many thanks. I got the demented bishop slightly wrong. It was the government, not the cops, he used as an example.
The Ratzo piece. They are such hypocrites. Nichols actually says they meeting would be painful for the victims. As for the cost of the State visit and the comments about the UK continuing to offer a welcome etc ……………… What? For a dopey ceremony, strictly for a small minority of RCs, so ex Hitler Youth Ratzo can spew superstitious twaddle to make someone a saint.
Following the Aussie example the costs to the UK tax payer will go through the roof so Papa and his entourage can luxuriate for four days enjoying a police protected ego trip. By then, when the bills come in, they will all have legged it.
July 6th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
The BBC report on the Rattenfanger says
“but Pope Benedict XVI’s trip will combine both pastoral events and formal state business.”
What poosible state business can there be between HM Government and RCC PLC? A mutual defence treaty perhaps? renegotiation of cod-fishing rights? a pact on global warming (don’t laugh – between parliament and the vatican there’s enough superheated air to be a climate problem)…….?
As for Green – it’s obvious he’s a closeted gay and sooner or later he’ll get his luggage lifted by some blabbermouth.
July 6th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
@sailor1031. I liked that “formal state business.” I think that refers to the usual hordes of freeloaders, with nothing else to do, piling in to state funded dinners while the rest of us stay on the sidelines. And these types feed well. No pork pie and peas for them. They love to trough. I don’t suppose they would invite a couple of hundred victims of the paedo priest atrocities instead of the usual fat cats? Ratzo is already more than a little porky.
July 6th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
I notice that these guys always refer to male homosexuals. This one is obssessed! More importantly, where are the stats on fidelity in marriage? I live in the U.S. and I remember years ago the statistics showed 7o% of husbands were not monogamous, and 60% of wives were not monogamous. He conveniently leaves out the surveys that have been taken for years. He’s a sick individual.
July 7th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
years ago you brits would have called this guy the village idiot. unfortunately in the US, even here in Seattle, he looks and sounds very familiar.

So the poops visit is to be: “but Pope Benedict XVI’s trip will combine both pastoral events and formal state business.†Does that mean they’ll be putting the poop out to pasture in a paddock?
