Well, maybe they can go find a stable somewhere if there is no room for them in the inn. These jackasses would stone Jesus to death if he ever reappeared.

A Christian-run Kentucky homeless shelter, Emergency Christian Ministries, just wished homeless women and children a Merry Christmas by booting them back onto the streets, claiming that it decided to ban all women (and their children) in an attempt to stop the sex problem. The misguided effort has left dozens of women and children on the streets with nowhere to go, and the situation is bleak as the closest shelter that is accepting women is a forty minute drive from the town where Emergency Christian Ministries is located.
Billy Woodward, the cold-hearted Emergency Christian Ministries Director, defended the ban and justified it by saying it is based on teachings in the Bible. Furthermore, Woodward claims that his actions were not biased or prejudiced whatsoever. He reasoned that homeless women were utilizing the shelter as an impromptu dating or hookup service that he was not having any part of, They say, Were homeless, maybe we can find somebody, a mate or something. They want to meet or slip in a room occasionally and we cant have that.

(2,682 posts)sex everywhere? They are fixated on stopping it where they think they see it. As the downfall of previous ministers shows, the ones who protest the loudest are the ones who are secretly engaging in the very thing they are preaching against. Wonder what Woodward does in his spare time?

(9,895 posts)The loudest and most outwardly (* AUDIBLY outward NOT ACTION outward) "X-tian" people are hideous hypocrites.
I loathe anyone who feels the need to proselytize. You want to run around believing the story of 3 gods in 1, who birthed themselves to Earth via a virgin, in a desert town, amongst illiterate goat-herders, 2,000+ years ago with a suspiciously borrowed story from local solar deities of the preceding 2,000 years? FINE BY ME...just keep it to yourself.
Religion and Penises....great to have, and fine to be proud of yours,...but KEEP THEM AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND DO NOT TAKE THEM OUT IN PUBLIC!
