"AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharoah's chariotters." --Jerry Falwell

You know, I can't help but think that's exactly what Jesus meant he said love your enemies.

And this one says it all:

"We need a legal strategy which protects the rights of those of us who hold Christian convictions which will afford us the opportunity to contend once again for the mind of this culture." --Keith A. Fournier (Catholic Way)

This is the idea we need to be fighting against. This is what they want, the power to dictate what you or anyone else should believe. They believe it is their right. They need to be shown otherwise.

Pat Robertson should be a fucking comedian, I swear:
"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different...More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history."

Fundie Christians are an oppressed minorty? Where are the concentration camps, the gas chambers? Flip it around and you get the real story. "We just can't seem to twist arms and force the world to think like we do."

on the bright side....

You can't invoke Godwin on purpose.

I didn't! The Hitler analogy came to me last night as I was going to bed. I've been hearing lots of christians invoking nazi-ism lately, but none of them are willing to pinpoint the hitler who is leading all of this third-reich fun. Or maybe we're all Hitler!


The Godwin was the icing on the cake.

Tempting. Very tempting. But once of that was more than enough.

I just wish Mel Brooks hadn't dropped and broken that third tablet with the other five commandments on it, which included "Thou shalt not prostelytize."

Erm, except for the part where Jesus says go forth and spread the word. Or something.

And how come they have words italicised at random? "He went into the city and there he did spake, saying "Wotcha, how they hangin', dude?"

You know that's gonna be your one question when you meet God, don't you?

Yeah, they've had it soooo much harder than the Jews. Sure, the only people who wanted to kill Christians were the hardcore Muslims and the Romans as opposed to the Russian, Spanish, British, German, and Canadian governments, *and* the hardcore Muslims *and* the Romans, but the persecution is so much worse. Really.
