Bigots like Rick Santorum and NOM, the National Organization For Marriage, “are much more concerned about being perceived as bigots than whether they might actually be bigoted.”


Bigots More Concerned About Being Perceived As Bigots Than Whether They Are

Yep, you’re a bigot. by Zinnia Jones
¨...And no, your religion does not have the power to legitimize bigotry. Bigoted beliefs do not become excusable just because a church or a book endorses them. You don’t get a pass on bigotry by claiming that a god agrees with you. People came up with the very same justifications for all kinds of prejudice. It changes nothing. Like it or not, your religion will evolve. It might deny this, it might lag behind, but religions are dragged along with the moral climate of society at large. The Catholic Church doesn’t hold trials of alleged witches anymore. Mormon leaders decided that God changed his mind about allowing black people to be ordained. And some day, you will have to face the reality that your 2,000 years of moral theology are helpless next to a moment of moral reflection.¨ please read it all, HERE

PREJUDICE PREACHING & PRETENDING: This weeks sadly abusive and un-holy crimes at Church!

REALITY CHECK: Over the last seven days some of the ¨orthodox, traditional, mega-church¨ clergy hide/shout-outs have been busy tainting even the most basic of ¨Commandments¨ and beloved ¨Spiritual/Religious¨ laws and beliefs. Sometimes at Churches where fear and hate distractions, are promoted over and over again each Sunday, against ¨abominable LGBT Christians,¨ are focused upon instead of honoring God and attempting to love thy neighbor...all of thy neighbors and certainly not abusing them.

It´s often clear that imagined/pretended arrogantly portrayed purity and holiness, justice, forgiveness, personal virtue/accountability are NOT a quick fix solution for some of the self proclaimed/self-righteous selective Scriptural extremists who harm others. Bigots and other Criminals at Church often ¨fall¨ headfirst onto their hard, and vulnerable discrimination-spewing, heads that seem convulted with thoughts of demonizing others while they are living in a world of denial and lack of personal self-searching and amends and remorse.

This Week's Faith Healing manslaughter/sadness:

Pennsylvania: The parents of two year-old Kent Schaible have been charged with manslaughter for allowing their "faith healing" pastor to pray over the child, rather than seeking medical attention for his bacterial pneumonia, which could have been cured with simple antibiotics. The father is a teacher at First Century Gospel Church, whose members believe in healing by prayer rather than medicine. Before his death, little Kent suffered from "a sore throat, congestion, liquid bowel movements, sleeplessness and trouble swallowing," yet his parents continued to pray.
