? Conservative Christians Plan 40 Day Hunger Strike ? A Temper Tantrum To Demonstrate Hatred Of Gay People

“Our Constitution declares that ‘all men’ are created equal. Surely this means all of us.”

Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen of United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, in Norfolk wrote these words in February in a decision that overturned Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage. Ever since, conservative Christians have been throwing a fit over it. This week, a group of desperate Christians announced their intention to fast for 40 days and 40 nights in the name of hate. It’s basically the same idea that a religious bigot in Utah attempted back in January.

Members of a religious organization called the Family Foundation are so hungry for hatred that they want to throw a temper tantrum for 40 days to protest same-sex marriage. In a statement, the group claims that the federal government, the media, corporations, the public education system, and the entertainment industry are all ganging up against churches in the fight for equality.

“Our state and nation are mired in a morass of confusion and post-modern thinking that does not believe in absolutes nor that any truth can even be known,” the statement says. “Nowhere is this more evident than in the current debate raging about what constitutes marriage. Pagan philosophies, a secular humanist education establishment and an entertainment industry that is absolutely determined in pushing the envelope on decency and morality have all combined to turn this great land into a country that our forefathers could not even begin to recognize.[/QUOTE]


Incomprehensible.

What would their god have to say about this?

I'd love to throw some wild BBQ's across the street from their Church.

You bear false witness with this libel and have the nerve to invoke God?

"This week, a group of desperate Christians announced their intention to fast for 40 days and 40 nights in the name of hate. It’s basically the same idea that a religious bigot in Utah attempted back in January."

Prostitutes and tax collectors will see the Kingdom of heaven before you do.

I'm pretty sure that's not up for you to decide

 

[Mr. H.]

There is no room in Obama's America for dissent, difference of opinion, or the Christian religion.

Freedom of speech and expression that runs counter to any culture will earn you the label of Bigot and Racist.

You think it's up to Nutty Luddite? Read the group's statement. Any resemblance between his/her screed and that is, well, accidental.

Actually, its the group that used the "g" word first. Take it up with them.

Have some BBQ.

A great human is great no matter what their race, sex, religion, or sexual preference.

A weak human is weak no matter what their race, sex, religion, or sexual preference.

Can we organize a counter-fast? What if everyone ate a piece of chocolate a day for the 40 days in support of marriage equality?

WHO'S WITH ME?

EAT CHOCOLATE!

What would their god have to say about this?

Why don't you get on your knees and ask Him?

Only the truly insane would throw such a hissy fit and starve themselves.

I hope they die of starvation.

Pagan philosophies and secular humanists, oh my.

These and other Americans are at liberty to exhibit their ignorance and hate; they are not at liberty, however, to seek to codify that ignorance and hate, with regard to such measures designed to deny same-sex couples their right to equal protection of the law.

And this would be an example of an American freely exhibiting his ignorance and hate.

 

[September]

What's wrong with "pagan philosophies?" What "pagan philosophies" are even being referred to?

What's wrong with "pushing the envelope" on decency and morality?

Quit being an asshole. I was pointing out the author's lies, which could be clearly seen if one had read the group's statement. Don't you people ever tell the truth?

Talking about things they know nothing about is not a problem for them.

It might be useful for you to point out the lie in the OP rather than just state it.
What did he lie about?
He provided a direct quote from the group.
Is there more information that you could cite for us that will support your accusation, or are you simply striking out in embarrassment?

Let them. I'm sure it will bring them closer to their god. I don't see that as a bad thing.
