Zach Caldwell Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 The article below shows that there are always exceptions when it comes to religion. Any religion, has both good and bad elements within it. Which should caution us to not lump an entire group with a radical few. It seems to me that Christianity, under the right conditions, could just as easily become as radical as the radical elements in Islam. http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/barbwire-runs-column-theonomist-who-backs-execution-gays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Artagnon Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 One could make the case it already is, in specific locations. That little wacko church that keeps protesting soldier's funerals comes quite prominently to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Caldwell Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Are you referring to Westboro? They are whacky for sure. But I do not recall them actually advocating for putting gays to death. But then again, maybe they don't have to, when it seems they would be just as happy to see the world just blow up in a million pieces.

Rilbur Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think they pretty much figure that that argument is assumed, given the rest of their... opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabird Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 The whacko few thrive on public outrage and, despite their rants and screams, they have little power over the rest of us. Yes, they can disrupt a funeral and cause personal trauma to the families for whom the funeral means so much, but their only means of survival is public notoriety. The American Legion Riders do much to protect the families of service men and women who have died serving their country. The creeps, like Westboro Baptist Church, thrive on creating a disturbance that gets them in the newspapers and television. It is like free advertising. It is my opinion that these people are NOT committed to a cause, they are committed to their own aggrandizement and notoriety. We should just consider then a bunch of trogdolites in a sea of enlightenment. Charles Bird SeaBird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
