The man who killed Dr. George Tiller yesterday at his church, as Tiller handed out bulletins to those entering... The man who killed Dr. George Tiller yesterday is the deed to the thought of O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Tony Perkins, Donald Wildmon, James Dobson and all their impotent little wannabes.
This happened in Tiller's church - a Reformation Lutheran church, a "welcoming" church, code for accepting LGBT.
Dr. George Tiller was one of a few doctors offering late-term abortions in the United States. He was known to wear a button that read "Trust Women."
This reminds me of the gunman who entered the Unitarian church last July killing two and wounding seven.
There's no freedom of religion in the U.S., according to the Bible bangers. Either you believe like they do or you're fair game. That's not religion. That's a cult. No, it's not a cult, it's terrorism, and the suspect should be treated as an enemy combatant.
Scott Roeder, named as the suspect in the shooting, typed on the Operation Rescue blog on May 19, 2007,
Bleass everyone for attending and praying in May to bring justice to Tiller and the closing of his death camp. Sometime soon, would it be feasible to organize as many people as possible to attend Tillers church (inside, not just outside) to have much more of a presence and possibly ask questions of the Pastor, Deacons, Elders and members while there? Doesn’t seem like it would hurt anything but bring more attention to Tiller.
See the cached version as their site is not coming up right now. Operation Rescue was quick to denounce the killing yesterday, issuing a press release at ChristianNewsWire.com. Even in their denouncement they wrote,
Operation Rescue recently made headlines when it bought and closed an abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas and has become the voice of the pro-life activist movement in America. Its activities are on the cutting edge of the abortion issue, taking direct action to restore legal personhood to the pre-born and stop abortion in obedience to biblical mandates.
I hope this attack drives each and every lemming last one of them over the cliff of relevance.
Ed Hindson, a self-styled expert in end times theology, met with the likeminded last weekend to discuss the antichrist. Though he does not know who it is, he knows who it is not - definitely no liberals, like Nero, Charlemagne, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Kennedy, or Khrushchev. Then he added one more:
I've heard people say it's Al Gore - trust me, nobody from Tennessee is going to conquer the world.
Hindson was emphatic that Obama is NOT the antichrist. He added that Obama was a kind of valet to the antichrist.
Remember when our foot-in-mouth president, George Bush, called the war in Iraq a "crusade"? It seems that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld played on Bush's delusions by juxtaposing Bible verses with images of war.
Donald Rumsfeld's top-secret briefings for President Bush, known as the Worldwide Intelligence Update,
was a daily digest of critical military intelligence so classified that it circulated among only a handful of Pentagon leaders and the president; Rumsfeld himself often delivered it, by hand, to the White House. The briefing's cover sheet generally featured triumphant, color images from the previous days' war efforts... (a)nd above these images, and just below the headline secretary of defense, was a quote that may have raised some eyebrows. It came from the Bible, from the book of Psalms: Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him... To deliver their soul from death.
This is part and parcel dominionist theory, that "society should be governed exclusively by the law of God as codified in the Bible."
One of the worst things about the anti-gay movement is the sexualizing of human beings, and especially of children. Heterosexuality is accepted as the norm, homosexuality as a sexual perversion. The "sexual" in "homosexual" is emphasized, understood as activity, whereas in "heterosexual" it's the "hetero" that is emphasized and the "sexual" is waived. Heterosexual children are not viewed by default as sexual beings.
When a person, or a child, comes out as homosexual they are automatically categorized, by those infected with anti-gay thought, as a person characterized by sexual activity. They are viewed in a lascivious light, as might someone working as a pole dancer or Catholic priest.
This is especially harmful with children. Viewing an LGBT child as someone who has crossed over into imagined sexual activity allows some adults to withdraw their respect and protection from that child. This is something I have become acutely aware of as my own 13-year-old son has come out at his middle school.
Many well meaning adults charged with my child's protection look at me through a fog of incomprehension, not understanding why they cannot allow children to be called "faggot" in their classroom, or why they have to report each and every incidence of violence. It's as if they were saying to me, "But your child is gay!"
My son does not have a boyfriend, nor does he want one. He is not there yet. He is a child. He understands that his desire is for his own gender, just as some little girls understand that when they grow up they want to marry someone just like daddy. Coming out as gay, for my son, was not an invitation to be treated like someone "asking for it".
The religious right and social conservatives are making a grave error that may cause the marginalization of their organizations for decades to come. Stripped of their political power and moral authority, all that's left, all the world sees, is the perversion of their ideas - LGBT children as sexualized beings rather than human beings, and the smallness, meanness and cruelty that they preach.
Viewing LGBT children as sexualized beings instead of human beings requires the willing (though perhaps unconcious) act of recategorizing a human being, or human child, as a sexual object. This places the child at risk of being abused by other children and adults for whom the usual social boundaries no longer apply.
If we are talking about sin, recategorizing a human child as a sexual object is a SIN.
"...behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out."
Numbers 32:23 (King James Version)
Semi-nude photos of Carrie Prejean, aka Miss California, have surfaced. Miss Prejean who is a born again Christian and anti-gay marriage activist, claims the photos were taken when she was a teenager.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is appearing at the Las Palmas restaurant in Calexico. She's assumed the form of the Virgin of Guadalupe in a stain on the griddle. The miracle has been attracting many visitors including the two Lucha Libre stars - Renegado and Mr. Tempest - above. Mr. Tempest told reporters,
I follow Our Lady of Guadalupe. This is amazing. It's a true miracle.
The griddle has been replaced and is now on display.
The Florida legislature has voted for a new Jesus license plate. When asked if he would veto the bill ordering the new plates, Florida Governor Charlie Crist commented,
"I would not veto those... No, I would not," Crist said. Asked if he has a problem with Jesus on a license plate, Crist responded "I don't. No." On the question of Church and state, Crist argued that "If they don't want one they don't have to buy one" and defended the plates on the basis that "I think it... What's it say? 'In God We Trust' on every single piece of monetary, coins and paper we have? I think it's fine."
