Possibly it's because most of them claim to be Christians. And America has 200 million or so of those. Thus, the news media and our politicians may still have the mistaken impression that they are REPRESENTATIVE of Christians. That perhaps maybe even MOST Christians are like the squeaky-wheel types who walk around carrying signs with photos of aborted fetuses on them. Or who protest loudly that "Those &%$# faggots want 'SPECIAL' rights!" Or worse, beat them to death, or shoot the abortion doctors. They're giving Christians, and Christianity in general, a bad name. Ironically, and unfortunately, fully 94% of America's professing Christians are therefore getting a VERY bad rap. That's because 94% of all U.S. Christians either ignore the above- described cultists of the Religious Radical Right... or want NOTHING whatsoever to do with them. Most Christians are quiet, tolerant people who go about their daily jobs and bother no one. So what IS it about the RRR Cultists that set them apart? We could say that it's the disinformation they've soaked up like sponges from their False Teachers who daily spew the phony and unbiblical "we-must-impose-change-upon-the-world" dogma to all two million or so of them over Christian radio stations. Teachers like James Dobson, D. James Kennedy, Gary Bauer, Beverly LaHaye, Jerry Falwell, and Pat Robertson, who have mostly abandoned the Great Commission (spreading the gospel), in favor of pouring more energy into their hateful vendetta against many of our individual freedoms and rights. But... not ALL of them listen to Christian radio. No. There is ONE flaw that is common to EVERY cultist of the RRR. Without it, one cannot BE an RRR Cultist. Busybodyism. Consider the fact that whatever consenting adults may choose to do in their own, personal lives, as long as they don't break the law or overtly do harm to others and/or their property, that is their OWN business, and no one else's. So listen up, RRR Cultists (and in the case of abortion, Anti- Choicers, who almost always are the *same* people): (1) If a women CHOOSES -- from among the two available and legal choices -- to obtain an abortion... that is NONE of YOUR business. (2) Homosexuals have sex with people of the same gender and you don't? So what? No big deal. Why should you care? No one's dragging you into their bedrooms to watch, any more than you would do that to them. Again: NONE of your business. (3) Homosexuals seek EQUAL rights in the workplace. NOT "special" ones. I have YET to EVER hear of a gay person asking for "special" rights, or even for rights that anyone could CONSIDER "special." That is a lie, constantly promoted by the RRR's leaders. They have been, and are, discriminated against in the workplace. Often, the fact that they are known to be gay -- EVEN THOUGH they are just like the heterosexuals, except in bed -- is enough to keep them from being hired, or enough to get them fired. They want such discriminatory practices to be illegal, and there is nothing wrong with that. They simply want to be on an EQUAL playing field. (4) Unmarried HETEROSEXUAL couples often are unable to rent the apartments they want... because they're unmarried! Can you imagine what would happen to the landlord if he/she were to refuse to rent to ANYONE just because the would-be renters were BLACK? Good luck! They'd better have a very good lawyer. And the practice is LUDICROUS, because their renting to unmarried couples does NO one any harm. And... guess what? Whether or not a couple is married is NO one else's business. (5) Many (not all) homosexuals want the right to marry their partners, and thus share the SAME benefits (insurance, etc.) that heterosexuals who love each other have. Well -- why not? This would do no harm to anyone. but it would make our society much more FAIR. (6) The two biggest targets of the RRR Cultists are abortion rights and homosexual rights. But gay rights have three major aspects, an another of those is the same as described in (4), above. There is no way that being assured that discrimination is NOT imposed of them could be, by ANY stretch of the imagination, regarded a "special" right. It is a CIVIL right, plain and simple. Is there ANY biblical basis that the deceived Christians of the RRR Cult can draw upon for to support their bigotry and busybodyism? No. Neither Jesus, nor God, anywhere in the Bible, appointed Their believers to be Their Enforcers, or Their Gestapo vs. society. Does God disagree with any of the above-listed practices? Probably not, as regards abortion. Nowhere does the Bible defend developing human entities. It defends humanity only after a person has been born. God is AWARE of fetuses (as some verses indicate), just as He is aware of sperm and ova, and probably the position of every atom in the universe. But he does not DEFEND them. In fact, defense sometimes can be lacking, even for already-born, essentially innocent adults. To see this most clearly, use the NIV Bible, and see how slaves are regard- ed in Exodus 21:20-21. As for the other points... there is significant evidence that He does. However, it is the right of every individual to sort these issues out with Him, if they so desire. Or NOT to, if they don't. The issues are personal, all the way, and the business of NO other people. DOES God condone enforcement by people of His laws and pro- nouncements? Yes... but NOT the way the RRR Cult does it. There is clear-cut instruction in the New Testament for disciplinary action that can be taken against those who violate those. BUT... and this is a HUGE "but"... those instructions apply ONLY to the practice of CHURCH discipline by Christians, vis-a-vis disobedient FELLOW Christians. NOT vis-a-vis society in general. In fact, there is even a verse that PROHIBITS their doing that... BOTTOM LINE: The DEFINING characteristic of RRR Cultists is busybodyism. No sensible person would be an advocate of discrimination. Nor does even the Bible advocate it. In fact, the Bible PROHIBITS it, vs. society in general, in 1 Cor. 5:12-13. You cannot make immoral and inhuman acts right by making them popular. ROTFL!!!!! Any personal liberties that I **defend** against hateful, selfish, and mindless bigots like you PALE by comparison to your agenda from the standpoints of immorality and being inhumane. God will hold you accountable for your promotion of these evil practices. DEFENDING people and standing up for their rights is NO vice, Winn. Jesus **commanded** his followers to be compassionate and fair to their neighbors. I do my best to do that, and YOU do your best to slap Christ in the face. Solly, Cholly, but I want NOTHING to do with your mindless hate. SATAN is *your* God. So pack an asbestos suit when you kick off. If you were smart, you'd read the FACTS that I presented above, and take them to heart, BEFORE you suffer that fate. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ BOTTOM LINE: The DEFINING characteristic of RRR Cultists is busybodyism.
