American Chistrian Persecution Turns Deadly

[Lion IRC]

I don't think Bryant was saying Christians want to be persecuted - just that they are willing to
...if push comes to shove.

I don't think he was saying Christians want to be persecuted - just that they are willing to
...if push comes to shove.

Some of the more vocal Christians these days want to pretend they are martyrs.

 

[Lion IRC]

Well nobody ever persecuted me so... *shrug*

Look ma. Look at that bunch of hom....hom....hom... Homer Simpsons.....forcing themselves on to mar... mar.... marge Simpson boy's breast.

Eyup. They she she couldn't do it but that Kim Davis is moving to Culdesac Idaho to sell spikes to Christians so they can resist those people in those white vans there.

I'm ready to volunteer my services. I'll bring my own nails and hammer.

Seriously though, there are toads in my back yard with higher IQs.

Well Mississippi seems like they could really use your toads then, as they seem to be pretty short of a qualified governor.

I think you are confusing the Common Toad, Bufo Bufo, with the similar but not identical Politician, Bufo Falsus Fornicantes.

A little Latin in the hands of some is dangerous.

I thought them there Christians was all gonna move to South Carolina and make it a Christian state?
Google Christian Exodus for Details.

SC would be a good spot, Charlie. Millions of guns and lots of Jesus. Only 5.5% chance of being murdered and/or forcibly raped in the South, so that is a good thing I guess. The difference between forcible and common rape, I do not know. That was just what the statistics said. I think there are 7 murders per day in the entire South. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Do you notice the trapezoid of Christ in the South? Look at a map and it will appear. That is where they
set up shop and do Religious crimes, like housing poor people. Lot of shady stuff going down in the south. I'm thinking the entire trapezoid will be packed with Christians within a few decades, and the main denomination will be Baptist. I hope that happens. It probably will. Do you think that would be a terrible thing?

Maybe not, but they sure like to pretend that they already are being persecuted. What he is suggesting, once one removes the BS and bravado, is that Christians* will fight back to retain the ability to dictate government policy based upon their theological interpretation of the Bible. People like him and Tony Perkins (and his Family Research Counsel) are already trying to imply that their version of Christians are already being prosecuted. They use examples like Kim Davis, who was temporarily jailed for explicitly ignoring a court directive to perform her county clerk job; and other's who have been sued for civil rights violations while operating a for profit business. Christians are still quite free in this country to say and do what ever bat shit insane stuff they want within their church groups. We still have preachers that rally against inter-racial marriage. They don't get fined or go to jail. Preachers are free to not marry gay couples, mixed race couples, Protestant-Catholic couples et.al. They are free to hate, and we are free to call them bigots.

So back to the comments made by this governor...so why the crucifixion BS? They aren't even having to spend a weekend in jail for being bigoted assholes, let alone being forced to join a gay orgy. I don't see them going in mass to block public squares, court houses, or magistrate offices to simply get arrested for civil disobedience for their cause. Peace activists have done this regularly and accept the legal cost of breaking the law. But this blowhard talks about willingness to be crucified, really? What horse shit! They can't even work up the gumption to go, say by the dozens, to get themselves arrested for being a simple public nuisance. But he thinks people shouldn't laugh at him for suggesting that Christians* would be willing to line up (aka lots of them) to be brutally executed?

Let these Christians* first line up for a hang nail, and then maybe this wouldn't then look so insanely absurd.


* Christians of the right wing, evangelical/fundamentalist variety

I don't know where you are right now. God bad because Christian make cross? God bad because homosexual want free stuff and special treatments? Oh, and equal rights, which (if fair) mean being treated as poorly as everyone else. If you think that was a bigoted thing to say, please stop discriminating.
In 2016 you can't express yourself and your faith without becoming exactly what you're accused of making someone else, apparently. You can't crucify yourself in public without degenerates making it all about them, and that is un-American. People have been crucifying themselves forever, but when they start doing it in NC, it is somehow everyone's business - especially people who don't believe in God, and that says it all.

For Chrissakes, they need to read the bible and take some lesson from it, instead of using it as a showmanship prop and beating the crap out of it in public so that others might think them righteous. Bibles and bathrooms in the same breath... makes both of them dirty and useless.

Reading takes time away from flapping your jaw about being persecuted.
