This is unacceptable behavior by that church. The Bible clearly states to love your neighbor, no matter his actions. Just because a person does not follow the same moral beliefs does not constitute the claim that God “hates” him, rather over and over there are examples of God’s love for the individual while at the same time He corrects those He loves. Unfortunately these people pictured do not follow the Bible they claim to believe.

Look at these people. Pitiful. “Americans for Truth” demanding discrimination. Joe Kovacs, talking about the “homosexual agenda” which is equality in marriage. Awful. Focus on the Family saying that people in our society who have reasoned there way to same-sex marriage recognition when “following the pack” would be buying the same discriminatory junk peddled about in the 1950s and onto which they cling ling drowning rats. These people are beneath contempt. They got out, raise money, condemn other people as immoral, get national reputations and jobs that pay them big bucks as professional homohaters. As for the Phelps clan, claiming the Americans are coming back dead from Iraq because America tolerates homosexuality, potesting at funerals, at parades as set forth in the picture above suggests some serious mental illness running through that family. Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose from the dead so these people could hate this much? It’s hard to pity them, but I try.

Well put! I’ve been saying similar things for years. Bits of evidence from here and there are encouraging to me in this regard, but progress is still disconcertingly slow.

Claiming to know the thoughts of God; claiming to know who rests in Hell; claiming to have identified the “AntiChrist”; isn’t this all blasphemy anyway? These people who call themselves Christians are sinning against their own God and their own faith when they claim to know the will of God and who is “saved”.

As I recall, Christ had a lot to say about hypocrisy and the judging of others but not much at all to say about homosexuality.

These people can’t claim to speak for God and be faithful to their own religion. They appear to me instead, to speak for those who crucified their own namesake.

In times of accelerated social and scientific understanding throughout history, the natural, self-preservationist instincts of religious fundamentalists have always impelled them into shouting more loudly as they begin to feel their backward beliefs threatened by the onslaught of progress – we’re in such a period right now.

They’ve had it their own way, unchallenged, for too long. Organised religion has been responsible for an outrageous and unforgivable collective stunting of human evolution which the rest of us should find not only deeply saddening, but unacceptable. We cannot continue to let the small and irrational amongst us hold back the advancement of our species.

It’s typical that the Peter, as he is known around here, can slam a movie he hasn’t seen. Furthermore, it’s interesting that the tenor of anti-gay criticism has become even more shrill in recent months.The prevalence of this foaming at the mouth continues to enable and legitimize anti-gay violence.

I think these protesters are missing the point. Do they possibly READ their Bibles? Regardless of how you feel about another human being and their way of life, God is the only true judge. How can they believe that what they are doing is acceptable behavior in God’s eyes? This is NOT what God is about. This is NOT what being a Christian is about. And to make it worse, stand in front of a camera…and smile about it….because it makes them feel like they have big girl panties on. This is not the way.

The nutters of the religious right – screeching in frustrated agony at anyone who’ll bear witness to their pitiful death throes in these increasingly enlightened times – how funny. The sooner good human beings rid the world of their hatred, the better.

Dustin Lance Black’s acceptance speech was even better than Penn’s:

“But most of all, if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he would want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told that they are less than, by their churches, or by the government, or by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value, and that no matter what anyone tells you, God does love you and that very soon I promise you, you will have equal rights federally across this great nation of ours.”
