Howdy Ghostfans…
***WARNING: Political, Religious, and just down right Venomous and Fireball spitting time from the Ghost. Read on at your own peril. I’ve been working on this one for awhile…apparently since April. It hasn’t been easy, but I feel like it needs to be said.***
Read it all the way through. If not, you’ll miss the ENTIRE point.
*******************************************************************
I’ve f*cking heard enough. The damned television, Facespace, Twitzone….ENOUGH!!!
Boycott Chick-Fil-A because their owner is anti-gay-marriage.
Boycott JC Penney because a lesbian is a spokesperson for them.
People who are religious are intolerant bigots.
Gays are going to burn in hell.
Every single one of you needs to shut the f*ck up…like yesterday.
(Ghost, you swear too much. If you really wanted to make a point, you’d be more articulate and respectful of your audience.)
F*ck you. Two times. Right in your egotistical, self-important, biased, prejudiced, know-it-all mouth.
I hope you just clicked off my page and never return. Wanna know why? Because you’re beyond help. The second that you stop listening to others and begin to believe that you are better than someone else, you have closed off your mind and are utterly useless in any meaningful discussion.
Want to know why I’m dropping F-bombs like a Jersey Shore cast member? Because it’s the only way to get through to the idiots on both sides of this war of ideology. So, sit down, open your mind, shut the hell up, and F*CKING THINK!
Gay, gay, gayer, gayest, gay-a-mundo! Chick-Fil-A, Civil Union, Election year, Homophobia!
(Slightly off-put by the modification of a Star Wars icon…but I’ll allow it.)
I’m not even sure where to kickstart this vomitous blog of rage, but I guess I better start making points.
****************************************************************************************************
Both sides of this whole entire debate…are utterly f*cking wrong.
(But Ghost, CLEARLY the Gay and Lesbian community have RIGHTS that are being ignored!)
Bullshit.
The process is slow and flawed beyond comprehension, but in the end, “rights” are defined and established through the courts and through the legislature. Nowhere in the Constitution did it guarantee the right to marriage…FOR ANYONE.
In fact, the government only got into the “Marriage” business, to protect widows…plain and simple. Daddy dies suddenly, and Momma is left with the seven kids, and the bank is taking the farm and auctioning everything off….(Bankers were even douchebags 100-150 years ago.)
So, to protect these widows and these children, the government started recognizing RELIGIOUS UNIONS…aka MARRIAGES, and started granting survivorship/inheritance rights, tax breaks, etc…
Blacks and Women fought long and hard to get the “rights” that they had coming. If it’s truly meant to be, enough citizens will get behind the cause, elect the officials who will make it happen. Democratic process.
You want to be pissed at someone? Be pissed at these wishy-washy elected officials who dance around subjects that might interfere with their chances of re-election. (B*tching about politicians is a very steep cliff for another time…)
However, there will be those who do not agree with you. The Great American Melting Pot is a collection of different cultures, values, thoughts, traditions and ideas. Some minds will change soon, others will take time. But ANY citizen of this great country is free to donate his money to whatever causes they choose. If the owner of Chick-Fil-A donates money to groups who work to prevent the government from recognizing “gay marriage”, that’s his RIGHT. It’s his money, he’s free to manage it according to whatever moral/religious/personal code that he sees fit, provided he isn’t breaking any laws. Now if he were funding groups that were burning crosses, torturing citizens or intimidating persons…then you might have an argument.
The reason why the “Church folk” are resisting so hard, is that the government TOOK marriages FROM them. It was their ceremony and tradition in the first place.
(Rest assured, I’ll get to their asses in just a bit. My bone to pick with Christians is much larger than with the Pro-Gay-Marriage contigent.)
This article from an atheist is pretty appropriate here:
http://www.vice.com/read/hey-atheists-just-shut-up-please
When you sit up on a perch and look down at these “religious loons” these “uneducated hate mongers”, do you really think you’re going to cut any ice with them? The point the atheist blogger makes is: How arrogant do you have to be to believe that you can reason a person away from their faith?
Same applies here. Only taking the time to understand the other side, and showing them that you are listening will ever begin the dialogue that leads to change.
Shame on y’all for taking shots at religion. Digging up Old Testament Bible Verses about Rape Victims, Widows and Polygamy is NOT going to help attract support for your cause. In fact, it’s doing the opposite. Knock that sh*t off.
Many “Christian” denominations are moving toward an open acceptance of Gay marriage. All this hate and animosity just impedes that progress, if your goal is to achieve acceptance.
Just for the record, it’s not just the Christians you need to worry about here. Ever hear of Sikhs? Islam still considers homosexuality a crime, and in many Islamic states…the penalty is still death. Anyone read that book awhile back…oh, you know that one…that got all the press that everyone just HAD to read…about Afghanistan…you don’t remember THE KITE RUNNER? Yeah, well, basically for a man to have sex with other men…(even if raped) is such a horrible sin that it must never be spoken of.
Churches do a LOT of good. Many collect items to donate to women’s shelters. Many operate soup kitchens and run food drives to help stock up local food pantries. A great many churches run daycare programs that subsidize their tuition to help single parents.
Forget throwing out the baby with the bath water….this is an onslaught that is dragging that baby out of the tub to ceremonially torture and sacrifice him on the altar of self-importance.
Bottom line: “Attacking” religion to secure liberty, is wrong. It will NOT achieve the intended goal, and only sets back your cause.
Here’s an Old Testament Bible verse for y’all, which I’m pretty sure the Jews are still kicking around as well:
Proverbs 10:12- – -Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.
Think about it.
*****************************************************************
(Sweet Lord, please get the media to start interviewing Christians with all their DNA strands in tact.)
*****************************************************************
And now…to deal with you Christians…
You should be ashamed…because I am. To be tossed into the same pot with the rest of you…I am thorougly…embarrassed.
Here’s a verse you all should consider:
John 13:34 —–
”A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.”
Did I miss something? Nope, that verse ends…period. There isn’t an “unless you’re gay” tacked on the end of that verse. Straight from the MAN’S mouth himself…Jesus himself told you to love…EVERYONE!
*****************************************************************
(This picture makes me want to hurt you.)
Matthew 18
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,
3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 “Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 “Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.
6 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 “Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
Teaching hate to children…yeah, I’d say that’s contrary to the King of Love’s instruction.
*****************************************************************
God does not hate “fags”. Want to know what he hates?
Read his book. It’s right there:
Proverbs 6:16–19
16 There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
19 a false witness who breathes out lies,and one who sows discord among brothers.
Nope…”Fags” weren’t in there. But liars, cheats, and schemers sure as hell are!
Boy, if a Christian were really serious about saving our country from “DOOM”, they’d be focusing on reforming all those liars, cheats and schemers….where are there a bunch of those???
(Here?)
(Or maybe here?)
(How about here?)
(Oooooh, I know….How about HERE?)
*****************************************************************
Reading this article should really make you think twice about yourself as a “Christian” and how you’re conducting yourself.
http://www.danoah.com/2011/11/im-christian-unless-youre-gay.html
How you treat others, is your biggest responsibility as a Christian. You are called to serve. You are called to suffer. What you do the the least of mankind, you do to HIM.
So rather than make plans this week for this:
Maybe you should be thinking about what the meaning of the season truly is:
The promise of redemption and love, regardless of what you do. Forgiveness and Love…for everyone, not just the select few…the elite.
*****************************************************************
Bottom line: Attacking people to insure compliance with your moral code, is wrong. It will NOT achieve the intended goal, and only sets back your cause.
Here’s an Old Testament Bible verse for y’all, which I’m pretty sure that Jesus would be holding up as relevant:
Proverbs 10:12- – -Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.
Think about it.
