Koran-burning pastor throws his support to George Zimmerman

edit: George, not Robert lol

I was wondering where he would come down on this...

Moronic publicity-hungry Quran-burning pastor Terry Jones is coming out in support of George Zimmerman.

The Gainesville pastor who set off riots in the Middle East by burning the Quran is turning out to support George Zimmerman today at a University of Florida protest of Trayvon Martin’s shooting death, according to Rev. Terry Jones’ Dove World Outreach Center.

Jones and 20 members of his church plan to attend a march scheduled to begin about 5 p.m. at the UF campus and continue along University Avenue to Gainesville City Hall, said Fran Ingram, a church spokeswoman.

He will likely face oppostion because the march is in support of Trayvon and will include people who want Zimmerman arrested. “He will be there to advocate for George Zimmerman’s Constitutional rights,” Ingram said.


Here’s a video this creep posted to YouTube in March 2010, just for some context and a possible clue about his motivations. Warning: this is NOT SAFE FOR WORK. (Or any other time, for that matter.)

Some killlings are perfectly legal.

Even it is not considered murder it can still be wrong

Morality is a human invention, and the rules differ from society to society.

And the Judge will be the One deciding.

What Judge would that be?

After all, if Christianity is wrong and Islam (just for example) is correct, then Allah will be his Judge. If there is no God, then no one will be his Judge.

So which one is it?

of places. Given that, they're hardly the same God.

If it makes it any easier, let's assume that the Norse were correct, and Odin Highfather is one of the (many) gods from that pantheon that exist to the exclusion of all other gods. Given that, who will his Judge be?

And again, if there are no gods of any kind, who will his Judge be?
