Good grief....you really
are that clueless. The point of that post cleared the top of your head by a mile.
Yes, Curling could accurately be called a "clown prince" of Christianity. But, if you think he was an example of all Christians, then you are delusional.
EVERY "religion" (how I detest that word) has it's share of buffoons, as does any other sect of society. Was what Curling said acceptable? Obviously not. But, on the other hand, this
IS???
You, sir, are as big a buffoon, if not moreso, than he was.
Add another one to the list.
Curling was obviously out of line making the comments he made, but no moreso than 90% of the other garbage that gets spewed forth here on a regular basis...yet it continues on un-checked. Again, I am
NOT defending Curlings statements in any way...but the double-standard is blatantly obvious.
Curling was
not an accurate representation of what a Christian "should" be. Here's a newsflash...
no one is! Why do I say that? Because we're humans, not God...we make mistakes, we say and do stupid shit at times, and we at times hurt other people that we didn't intend to hurt. And yes, I've known more than my fair share of "Saturday night sinners, Sunday morning saints." On the other hand, I've also known some Christians who walked the walk better than they talked the talk. Some people take their faith more seriously than others do. That shows in their lives, when they're faced with tough decisions and temptations. NO ONE is perfect, Christian, muslim, buddhist or otherwise. We do the best we can with what we have, and when we screw up, we try to make amends. Unfortunately, the bad apples cast a very unfavorable image on the rest of us, and everyone assumes we're all just another Curling...or Jerry Falwell...whatever. Nothing could be further from the truth.
You will
not see me bash anyone else for their beliefs...to do so is below childish. You believe what you will, as will I. However, when someone tries to pigeon-hole me into some imaginary stereotype that they've gleaned from the internet, TBN, a bad experience they had as a kid at sunday school, or some liberal college professor, then yes, you're gonna get called out.
As far as the anti-Bush rhetoric...
I am not a Bush supporter either...I was "cautiously optimistic" when he entered office, but I'm not satisfied with everything he's done. That is all I have to say about that subject, I do not discuss my personal political beliefs with
anyone, much less people on the internet. The reason why should be obvious by this point. To those who take such delight in bashing the man, I ask you this; do
you seriously think
you could do a
better job than he has? If so, then shut your pie hole and run for office. If not, then shut your pie hole. You're succeeding at little more than embarrasing yourselves.
As far as the anti-American sentiment...
There's no question the US has it's fair share of problems and political issues...always has, always will. However, I think it's more than fair to say that we, as a nation, have done more than our fair share to make the world a better place to live in. Yes, the US has screwed the pooch on several occasions...no one ever said we're perfect. On the other hand, how many times have we been there to bail out other nations when they got into something that went over their head? Who does everyone come to when they need $$$?...or food???...or medical aid???
As far as the pedophilia "banter"...
If
ANYONE thinks that making light of molesting children is in
any way amusing, then you are the lowest form of life on the planet. Please do the gene pool a favor and go play on a busy highway before you contaminate the population any further.
I could go on, but it's not worth it. The evidence speaks for itself.
`Nuff said.
