More appropriate language would be “conservative, fundamentalist Christian stance.”

As you may know, recent surveys show that roughly the same percentage of the U.S. GLBT population identify as Christian as the general population. I am sure you also know that many Christians in the United States support full equality for GLBT people, such as the United Church of Christ, Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and even many individual Baptist congregations.

Chris Sullivan: thanks for the voice of reason.

Drewski: I’m from the South too. They love to hate everyone and that is why they run to christianity..it feels comfortable. However, the whole compassion and humility line is ridiculous. Jesus Christ never lived, there is no historical record, except faked inscriptions on a few sarcophogi (however you spell that!). Christianity was founded with very sinister purposes. We know that by looking at its history of being formed for the sole reason of consolidating the power vacuum left by the Roman Emporer’s ridiculous behavior.

This idea of Christ’s humility and compassion were written into the rulebook of the cult to attract people to the message so they could be brainwashed into the “christian army” that conquered the world and expanded the holy see’s real estate holdings.

Basically it is a business, not unlike the mob, that uses people’s fear of dying and rotting in the ground (which we will all do).

Regurgitating the loooove and fuzziness of christ’s teachings is just doing their bidding. Look under the hood and you’ll see the reality, a disgusting cult that grows by preying on the fear in innocent minds.

Education and rational analysis are the tools we have to fight it. Furthering the lies about humility only shows you’ve been duped.

it is the most evil cult ever seen on this planet. Most were rather campy, with the priestesses really just prostitutes and the priests getting to dress up like jaguars. When this cult took over the biggest power center in the world, we saw the combination of whacky beliefs and incredible power, and to this day we have seemingly educated people falling for it.

For those who take offense at use of the term “Christian” in this context: in case you haven’t had the joy of experience, Southern conservatives (ESPECIALLY the GOP) are almost always describing THEMSELVES as “Christian.” No, they don’t have a damn thing to do with the teachings of Christ. As a native Southerner (who still has such an aversion to this crap that no way in hell do I wanna live south of I 80), I can tell you this is their self-identification. It is the self-designated “conservative Christian” faction which has hijacked the word “Christian.” It has nothing to do with any gays promoting hatred of religion; it’s responding to the self-identity so relentlessly pushed by these wingnuts. Stop worrying about what you might perceive as a gay misstep and start taking your faith back from these petty, greedy people. Be “Christian warriors” by acting as the Christian Right does not–act with compassion and humility. Clearly there’s not much of that in the South Carolina GOP. Take your religion back to its truth, and please don’t blame gays for damage gays didn’t cause.
