Ugh... I think I'm going to puke...

[toddwv]

This whole KY clerk thing makes me physically ill. I get along perfectly fine with most Christian, but I have known more than a few of these self-righteous, judgmental, and intolerant "born-again" Christians... they are the most annoying sort of people as they almost seem to be trying desperately to make up for lost time...

Then there's this whole CPC (Christian Persecution Complex) which basically amounts to anything and everything that disagrees with them is persecution.

What an embarrassment this whole thing has been...

1. my favorite right wing Christian story

A acquaintance of mine was approached by his friend. The friend wanted to get something off his chest.... he needed to repent, and admit his sins because he had become a Christian.

His admission was that he had slept with my acquaintance's wife and he apologized for that , then he also said that he could no longer associate with my acquaintance since he was not a Christian.

2. That sounds about right for a supreme a$$hole award.

What a complete jerk. Was it news to your acquaintance--or had he known or suspected
there was an affair? Because if he hadn't, your acquaintance--because of the confession--undoubtedly was
thrown into a giant shit storm with his wife.

4. it was news, not suspected, but my acquaintance had divorced (not over infidelity, to his knowledge)

this was an admission of something from 2-3 years in the past.

I just realized that I misstated the story.....the reason that the "Christian" disassociated himself was that my acquaintance was living with his girlfriend "in sin".

5. Oh, that's precious. Another Windex Christian.

6. What is a Windex...

...Christian?

[Tom_Foolery]

9. A Windex Christian is someone who accepts Christ...

And all his/her past sins are wiped clean the way a bottle of Windex wipes everything clean. That's my interpretation.

[3catwoman3]

10. I suspected it would be...

...along those lines. Interesting that is doesn't seem to matter how many times the glass gets dirty.

16. Josh Duggar can attest to how hard it is to keep that glass clean

14. Reminds me of a H.S. friend

hadn't seen her in years and ran into her while out shopping. She was quite the run around in high school, drugs, multiple sex partners, running away, etc. Well her life took a dramatic turn and she was happily married and I told her I was very happy in a relationship with my boyfriend (later husband) and we just moved in together. She proceeded to lecture me that she did not approve of people living in "sin" and she was a "born again" Christian. I politely said I was in a hurry and cut her off.

It's funny how people who commit the most "sin" sit in judgment of others and actually feel it's their right to tell others how to live.

3. And the Christian Persecution Crowd has a leader and voice: Mike Huckabee.

He's just as scary and dangerous as Donald Trump, even more so. Only difference is that Huckabee has gawd on his side, or so he claims.

[Bluenorthwest]

13. Huckabee called for relocation camps for gay people in 1992. 23 years later he's trying to stop

the issuing of marriage licenses to people he thinks should be in detention. Clearly God has not favored Huck. He's had to negotiate way, way down from concentration camps to 'don't make Kimmeh touch gay papers'. I'm not scared.

[vankuria]

15. They should have relocation camps for

those that commit cruelty to animals like his dumb ass son. Every time Huckabee speaks out against other peoples rights that should be thrown in his face, never let him live it down.

[hamsterjill]

7. I keep an alka seltzer handy.

I'm a Christian. I don't push my views off on anyone else.

These idiots (i.e., the ones like Huckabee and Kim Davis) have JUMPED the SHARK.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. For all of their "claims" about how LGBTs want "special rights"

THEY are the ones actually demanding them-for themselves and their ilk (and sometimes even getting them). I note that some in the KY legislature are/were primed to give Davis "special dispensation" (see: "special&quot to refuse to issue same-sex marriage licenses (despite the obvious illegality in doing so).

[Lil Missy]

11. Amen! I had to change the channel. Anything but THAT! n/t

[WiffenPoof]

12. I am so angry....

It's hard to find the words. This crap that's going on in KY is so frightening. I thought that the republican party was the law and order party. I'm at a loss for words. I absolutely HATE these people...these self righteous idiots. I'm sorry to my fellow DU Christians but if this is even remotely associated with your beliefs, you have no defense. YOU are the ones that need to speak up and combat this insanity. If we expect moderate members of the Islamic faith to stand up against the radical elements of their religion... Than you should do the same.

17. I have no room at all in my life for "Born Agains"

When my father, who attended the Methodist Church every Sunday for decades and was one of the kindest individuals you'd ever want to meet, was on his deathbed, one of those self-righteous assholes (a so called "friend" who should have known better) had the nerve ask if he had accepted Jesus Christ as his savior and suggesting that he needed to be "born again" or he might go to hell. My mother, a good Christian woman herself, was livid. I don't think I've ever seen her so angry. Now I won't have anything at all to do with those people. I have no problem with the things Jesus allegedly taught, but so many of his fundy followers have completely perverted the message. If there are " false prophets," I think they qualify.
