There are probably more fundamentalist religious wackos in this country than in the entire middle east. As sick as this comment might seem, the truth is that the world would be MUCH a better place if all of them were dead. It doesn't matter if they're christian or muslim, they're really fucked up in the head and they are the biggest threat to humanity. |

Ugh, what an overstatement. Fundamentalists are not the biggest threat to humanity, nor are all fundamentalists like Fred Phelps. "Since when does God hate?" The Old Testament |
| deleted user 23.07.2004 20:05 |
Dear Zeni- I don't want to argue or anything so I'll just say this. If God hated in the OT, that really has no bearing on today's Christians. We believe that since the death and resurection of Christ, there is a New Covenant. So the OT is not what to live by. The NT is since Jesus was resurected. That is the New Covenant. All the teachings in the NT show His love for humanity as a group. No colors or sexual preferences. I think those people who think otherwise are terribly wrong. Love one another He said. And He wasn't specific to any. |
| dragonzflame 23.07.2004 20:11 |
I always struggle with people who go on about how being gay is unnatural and God hates it etc. Surely if God made and loves us all then if he/she found homosexuality that abhorrent in his/her being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth he/she could make it so that nobody was gay? |

The Old TestamentNo, but we made fun of him anyway. And actually, fundamentalists ARE, as I see it, one of the biggest threats to humanity. All of the world's problems stem down at the roots to either money or religion. Both the 9/11 hijackers and Exodus International are fundie groups. |

Matt I'm not arguing. Just pointing out that God has a tendency to smite his enemies, as the OT shows. Personally, I agree with most of what you said; I just enjoy being cheeky when I can. "All of the world's problems stem down at the roots to either money or religion." Of course, Fundamentalists represent only a small part of the world's religions, and certainly do not have a monopoly over the world's financial markets. They just become an easy target for those who think religion is bad. "Both the 9/11 hijackers and Exodus International are fundie groups." As is the American Baptist Churches USA. I somehow think the majority of them will be voting Kerry in the upcoming election, and I doubt they are a big threat to humanity. Remember children, overgeneralizations are bad. |

I think the "story" teeters on the verge of hate speech but clearly crosses the line of intolerance. Also, I'm not quite certain "effervescing" is a word. Religious fundamentalism is a problem but saying the world would be a better place if they were all dead is a bit harsh, IMO. And if you really think there are more religious fanatics in the US than the entire middle east, you have a serious problem with understanding of numbers... Yes, there are fanatics everywhere however, fanatics are, of course, going to be more numerous in impoverished areas of the world. |

Of course effervescing is a word. It was a reference to a Syd Barrett solo song. effervescing Effervesce \Ef'fer*vesce"\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Effervesced; p. pr. & vb. n. Effervescing.] [L. effervescere; ex + fervescere to begin boiling, incho., fr. fervere to boil. See Fervent.] 1. To be in a state of natural ebullition; to bubble and hiss, as fermenting liquors, or any fluid, when some part escapes in a gaseous form. 2. To exhibit, in lively natural expression, feelings that can not be repressed or concealed; as, to effervesce with joy or merriment. |

I love this: "Laura Schlesinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned in any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr.Laura penned by a US resident and also posted on the Internet- Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to follow them. a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? c) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians? d) I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? e) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? f) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here? g) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die? h) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? i) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16). Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. Your devoted disciple and adoring fan." |

I'm not saying we should kill them, I'm just saying that if they were dead or they just dissapeared the world would indeed be a better place. Can you deny that? And you know that most of them are already way too screwed up in the head to change their mind. Also aside from fundamentalist, we can't leave behind extreme right wing, and extreme left wing nuts. Whether your political ideas are more towards one side to the other you can't deny that those who take things to the extreme are indeed a threat. But that's another story. Now back to the topic of religious fundamentalists, Mandy and Sara were just making fun of fundamentalists. I don't think they would take any religious person as a fundamentalist. I'm sure that Mandy has friends (at least me) who have some kind of religious faith or religion and she still respects their beliefs. What I can see that pisses her off is to see all these fundamentalists taking things to the extreme and putting Jesus or God as an excuse to hate gays, blacks, jews, or any kind of group based on race, social status, political beliefs, nationality, ethnicity, or sexual preference. |
| FreddiesGhettoTrench 25.07.2004 11:14 |
Thank you Mr. Jingles. And FYI Brandon, I don't get what you're on about. You're making far too big a deal about something that was SATIRE. |
| Maz 25.07.2004 13:00 |
The problem is that there is this assumption that all fundamentalists are nuts, which is far from the case. How can a Black Fundamentalist, for example, be against blacks? But by lumping all fundamentalists into one catagory, that's essentially what you've just said. Besides, who gets to determine who poses a threat? The intelligent people? The one's in charge of the government? The one's that vote? Once again, fighting intolerance with intolerance seems counter-productive. |
| Mr.Jingles 25.07.2004 13:55 |
Maybe we should be tolerant of fundmentalists and allow them to abuse, injure, and kill people who are against their beliefs without having them fear persecution. Besides, we all know that fundamentalists are not exactly basing their beliefs on whatever faith or religion they follow. They distort the truth of those beliefs, so they can have an excuse to spread hatred and violence. Ej: The "fact" that God hates homosexuals. |
| Maz 25.07.2004 14:14 |
"Maybe we should be tolerant of fundmentalists and allow them to abuse, injure, and kill people who are against their beliefs without having them fear persecution." I happen to know a few fundamentalists and they've never abused, injured, or killed people who are against their beliefs. Should they, too, be vanquished from the land because you think they are extremist? So, to sum up, some fundamentalists are wacky and possibly evil, and the world would be better if they were dead or happen to disappear. Don't some people say the same things about immigrants? Homosexuals? Women? Liberals? |

I've gotten very positive feedback on this particular story from people who are very religious Baptists, who are highly embarassed that certain members of their religion use it as an excuse to lord it over everyone else that they consider inferior - especially the members of this Jim Bakkeresque cult. I have run across some VERY funny jokes picking on Democrats, liberals, Bill Clinton, atheists, women, assorted other groups of which I am a member, and humanity in general. I might not agree with the sentiments they express, but I'm not about to call something hate speech which was obviously intended as a joke - I might say it's not funny, and if you don't think our story is funny I'm sure we can both handle that.

Oh, how silly of me! You were making fun of us, why didn't I realize it!

The point that Sara was trying to make is, there's no POINT in blasting someone for picking on a group which they belong to, because that person obviously does not take it seriously. It's not like we were actually implying that Southern Baptists look at gay porn magazines or that (in up-and-coming story) Bill O'Reilly actually IS the leader of some nutty assassins clan that kills people by sticking their hands through the victims' hearts. Also, another innocent question...when he wrote the extremely humorous "Gospel According to Fatty", why did I not see a single complaint about his ugly, generalizing, misinformed blanket statement implying that all Queenzoners are sexually unnatractive? Is it not the same basic principle? *sarcasm off, no disrespect meant to fatty, you can put the semi-automatics away* |

Speaking of pertinent subjects, I hear the Gospel According to Spinal Tap is great. And by the way, to all the sexually attractive QueenZoners, my name is Brian. To all else, it's Ernest Hemingway. |

Let me get this straight ... Trench is conservative and Geeks is southern ... Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable to generalize, gut, and dehumanize ALL southern baptists. Fine logic. ... and I never realized that every suburban Georgian (thousands of people) is a moron (with the exception of the 6 people mentioned by Geeks). I've never felt so enlightened in all my life. |

FYI, we were making fun of a CERTAIN group of Southern Baptists - the crazies. |

Well, I HOPE you girls are happy. Now you've got Mike sticking up for religious people. And by the way, the stereotpye of southern men being tough and not crying? It's actually true. |

LOL, that God Hates Fags site is so funny. It's the morbid side of me, yeah, but I laugh. Everytime I go there, I die laughing. As a dyke, I'm sure they're happy I've died laughing a few times there. Should send them a video of myself screwing my girlfriend while she's dressed as Elton John. Gotta say, that's a huge turn on. I even have a video of that, too. She's dressed as 70's Elton. Not today Elton for all the guys who may be picturing this. Yeah. That's my two cents and, oh yeah. Monkeys. -Amethyst |

How is Brandon an Asshole? Or is that more satire I'm just not picking up? |
