I wonder if I had started a thread for the purpose of insulting June as a month of devotion to the sacred heart. . . . How many Christians here would have called it out as classless, hateful, or otherwise uncalled for? I would be interested in comparing that number to the number of Christians that called out this thread.

I would say that about already based on most of your posts lately, you clearly have an issue with Christians and our values.
How did we decide that? People can choose to picture Christ however they wish. I mean, there were some clear iconography disputes going back a ways, but people don't really argue about what Christ looked like nowadays.Aggrad08 said:

Probably that super white Jesus would go more often than I.

I do also prefer to envision satan as a weathered Obama like in that movie. It just makes a lot of sense to me, but some disagree, which is fine.
Seeking to give christ an unbiblical sexual orientation is just more projection for some, but whatever. The GLBTQ-furry-plus community loves to attack Christians, institutionally and otherwise (see: every major denomination). Denying God's creation/reality leads them to behave this way, I believe.

Ah, so you're an expert on critiquing them and LGBT people based on your extensive experience and knowledge.
The Saps on the Left tend to spew a lot...kinda like the Christian I discussed earlier that always wanted to to convert me...so yeah, I do have more extensive knowledge than I really want, and without having to actually attend events in person.

No you don't.
Missed the opportunity to note that the 'bow' in ancient Near Eastern civilizations was a much, much more *ahem* masculine metaphor than "making peace."Zobel said:Duncan Idaho said:
I never understood how the story of the rainbow was supposed to be a good thing. The rainbow, The symbol of god's promise to never AGAIN conduct xenocide by that ONE specific method while knowing full well that he would command and activy conduct numerous acts of genocide.
I always took it as a promise of violence (I killed all y'all once before and I'll do it again, just not by drowning) vs a promise of hope.
The specific call out for water is suspiciously specific. It reminds me of a parent saying "oh you think this is unfair. Just do it again and see what happens."
The rainbow is actually the symbol of a bow. Setting down the bow means making peace. The implication is that mankind was at war with God, and God unilaterally made peace. This is like a fractal representation of the story of the scriptures.

If my best friend was a real estate agent with whom I listed a house for sale next to my house, and the Agent told me that two equally qualified buyers were available... but one claimed to be a good Christian and the other claimed to be a proud Gay...would I flip a coin? I'm neither Christian nor Gay.
No, Sorry Gay supporters, as bad as some Christian's reputation might be, Gay would not be my choice.
A year later, after the Christian turns out to be one of those rare constantly trying to convert me types who often play loud music, I might be sorry. But God only knows what a politically active Gay neighbor might do to Raise Hell...an apprehension that comes largely from what I have seen at Gay Pride Parades rather than the mostly rather mild behavior I have actually observed from Gays and Christians in my real life.
