The fact that they are bigots, or the fact that they lie about what the bible says.<BR/><BR/>I am convinced that Fundamentalists are the most biblically illiterate category of Christian there is.<BR/><BR/>It's not that to be a student of Christ you absolutely need to be biblically literate. But if you are are not, you should at least admit to it, and not try to justify your prejudices by misrepresenting the Bible and th Gospel of Jesus Christ.<BR/><BR/>No matter how hard I try to ignore it, it still pisses me off.Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15447125159108080797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-5251794524811170702008-04-16T15:20:00.000-07:002008-04-16T15:20:00.000-07:00Dear John an Snad:In reading the full JC editorial...Dear John an Snad:<BR/><BR/>In reading the full JC editorial from JG, he also comments the following:<BR/><BR/><I> “Children” are involved in brutal activity. Girls ganging up on and brutally beating another girl and a teacher attacked by a female student. This is just another example of the erosion of biblical principles that started when Christ was removed from the schools. We never had anything remotely like this when I was going to school. </I><BR/><BR/>How can we disagree? C'mon, there was never any violence in schools when our free government included Christianity in public school education. AND there was never any hatred being spread in schools when "Christ" was there...after all, with segregation, there was no one to start trouble, right? I know for sure that the homosexuals didn't start coming out in schools when "Christ" was there (they would usually either live a secret life or committ suicide). <BR/><BR/>I know that the fact that societal and economic changes, technological advances, and mass communication abilities couldn't possibly have any contribution to these events.<BR/><BR/>Wait, even my mom agrees. She swears that when she was in school and when they had to have prayer every day, she NEVER ONCE received any news via RSS feed on her iPhone about violence in schools.<BR/><BR/>In conclusion, JG, I guess I'll phrase it exactly as you did:<BR/>Let me reiterate: I do not hate you. I hate the fact that you are being an ignorant closed-minded ass - but not you as a person. That said, this is not biblical, yet again there is no debate on that!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463299633659512877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-58915446652419118862008-04-16T08:39:00.000-07:002008-04-16T08:39:00.000-07:00Good letters in response to the Rev.

By the way, the best of the bunch (imho) was from Bradley Foster Smith, who was the creator of our wonderful puppet at the September rally.<BR/><BR/>As for the PFLAG letter, it is in perfect keeping with the rest of the letters JG has written. From them, I get the strong impression he feels the clergy are here to teach people NOT to think, so one that encourages people to use the old noodle is going to set off sparks for him.Snadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055786911610974637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-77746252875897637922008-04-16T08:09:00.000-07:002008-04-16T08:09:00.000-07:00I love it: "I don't hate you personally; I just ha...I love it: "I don't hate you personally; I just hate who you are."<BR/><BR/>Makes me feel better already.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good fight, John.
