Reason for PPR...
Interesting observation to ponder...
Both were shown the door for homophobic comments, the second only started commenting after the first one was gone AFAIK...
Coincidence?

(19,288 posts)Fail. This crap is really what makes baby Jesus cry. Intolerance and harsh judgement are not a Christian or community standard.
trotsky
(49,533 posts)Right-wing theocratic douchebag. Funny how we atheists had him pegged and called him out on his nonsense constantly.
skepticscott
(13,029 posts)ever spoke a word against him until they were shamed into it.

(1,837 posts)i haven't been able to go into some threads and am thinking about using the 'ignore' feature on someone except i like the way a couple people cut off every avenue in public. i learn things. it bothers me that this one thinks they are the voice of reason but really just elaborate defense of the indefensible. does that make me a 'bigot' against realigion?

(6,452 posts)Took us about 3 minutes to figure out that he was a RW douchebag. It's unfortunate how much crap can be hidden behind the curtain of religion, even among liberals.
Goblinmonger
(22,340 posts)in the Host forum a couple minutes ago. I can't believe the amount of hand wringing over there by the Religion hosts. The guy was a RW theocratic turd. That fact was pointed out a good deal of times. Oh, and
for the lurkers in here. I would imagine there is one person who has me on ignore that logs out so that she can read this.
to you, too.

(19,705 posts)What defense could possibly be given for his actions and words? How could anyone who defended him be allowed to stay on as a host? or on DU?

(13,029 posts)"Building coalitions" is more important than just coming out and saying that some people are wrong, and who thinks that there are two equal sides to every issue.

Curmudgeoness
(18,219 posts)Does that tell you anything? This sort of talk has been tolerated too long here, as long as it is posted as a pro-religion thread.
People like this do not give the Christians at DU a good reputation when they put up with it.

Phillip McCleod
(1,837 posts)but i am proud. instead i get mad. then i'm 'militant' and 'angry' and 'strident'.

(111,339 posts)"Rosaria," she said, "I was a Presbyterian minister for 15 years. I prayed that God would heal me, but he didn't. If you want, I will pray for you."

That's when a perfectly sensible person would have said "no thanks, pal, seems your prayers are the kiss of death."
It should be pointed out to people in that thread that slavery was also based on principles, as was the genocide practiced by the Third Reich.
Some principles are simply hateful and destructive to humanity. Antigay bigotry is one of them.

He tried to send me a DU mail after he got blocked from that thread...I had to fumigate my inbox...

(19,705 posts)Both LARED and HB got PPR'd for homophobic comments on the same day. Coincidence?
skepticscott
(13,029 posts)Or that may have just been the perfect thread to root out the real bigots in the room, and we got lucky. I noticed a few others who very carefully avoided taking part...
uriel1972
(4,261 posts)I noticed that too. AWOL when it is time for Liberal Christians to turn up and face the RW bigots.
