They Are Turning On Each Other

So the psycho Christians are turning on the regular ones. Psycho pastor in Amarillo says Houston Christians have "failed" because we elected the first openly lesbian mayor in America, and Planned Parenthood is moving into a new, bigger building. I love this story.

Carpet-munching politicians should be encouraged, not boycotted.

Heh. The blog was written by Shellnut.

When will people understand that my interpretation of the Bible is right and everyone else's is wrong?

I won't get into religion with anyone here as I've been down that road and it's pointless. But what I will say is that I believe anyone boycotting an elected official because of sexual preference has to much fucking time on their hands. How about boycotting the straight ones that fucked the country up in the first place?

You guys know I have a belief/faith whatever you want to call it but nothing chaps my hide worse than these hypocrite know-it-all's who think it's their job to bust balls. Worry about self first and leave others to do as they wish.

Also this quote from the article says it all:

It seems to me that Christians are very quick to attempt to utilize boycotts for everything from trying to convince retail stores to use Christmas instead of holidays to companies who extend health coverage in ways we might not approve of.

These boycotts rarely change people's hearts. Instead, they usually are a high pressure approach to get people to conform to our views without really understanding why we believe as we do. If anything, I am concerned that boycotts like these do more to hinder the advancement of the gospel rather than promote it.

it's ok, B. I have a belief/faith as well, and I'm sickened by the crap that's done in its name.

It's just so short sighted. I guess they think they can guilt trip someone into belief or something. I wonder what they'll say if the "gay lady mayor"* leads Houston to prosperity it hasn't seen in years. I'm sure it'll be because she made a deal with the devil or some other dumb shit.


*what they probably call her.

Heh. I joined Boycott Boycott Houston on Facebook.

Ahhhh so you're boycotting the boycott. Yay.
