My feelings exactly. My sister used to be a fundy and sent my niece to a crazy fundy school. My sister is now an ultra liberal Xian apatheist and is working hard to deprogram my 17 year old niece from years of hateful and ignorant indoctrination.

I did my part when I was up visiting them. I made the niece watch the movie Saved. I think it was an eye opener for her. She saw many of the same hateful bigots in the movie that she had known from school.

Well, if gay adults are in any way associated with a school environment, it means they have more access to children whom they must recruit into their lifestyle, and the next thing you know, the school will be full of nymphomaniacal homosexual children.


What it will teach the child in this case (and hopefully even other children made aware of this scenario in her school by her absence) is that these Christians were quintessential hypocrites. They claim that all people are sinners, that they love the sinner but hate the sin, and that they are compassionate, loving, and own the moral high ground, but in the end, they act with hatred and bigotry.

I just hope that the other children at school learn that rather than see this as a lesson on how they should also treat homosexuals seeing as how this is how their authority figures behaved.

Well, other kids in the school may make friends with this girl and see that she is no different from them. They may meet her parents and realize that homosexuals are not evil and are just like everybody else. When that happens, if God tells these other kids that their friend’s parents are going to burn in his hell forever just because of who they are, then God could become irrelevant. It becomes very difficult to demonize homosexuals if children can see that they are not any different than everyone else.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

The biggest fear that fundies have with homosexuality is not that it will bring the world to an end (which ironically they hope for) but that it won't.

Hey, look at the bright side. That school just created yet another likely atheist with a chip on her shoulder.

That is crazy.
And people want to know why all atheists don't just lie down and shut up. We're here to attempt to expose and prevent this sort of religous crap. We're the ombudsmen.

Oh man, that's a great quote!

"Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man."

Luke 6:2-26, in there somewhere.

As good as

"but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire"

Matthew 5:22


a great response to the old "the fool has said in his heart...."
