This story came across my path and I have to say it really infuriated me. A Pastor in N.C. had a sermon that was video taped and it went viral because his entire sermon was basically a gay bashing tirade. Pastor Harris told his congregation that if their daughters started acting too "Butch" to force them to dress like a girl, walk like a girl, smell like a girl etc. He told fathers that if they saw their sons' wrists getting limp to smack that wrist, man up and give the boy a good punch.
Let's begin MY tirade with this: Last time I checked Christianity preached that God was a loving God. There was no love being preached in Harris' sermon. How can you call yourself a Christian and be so damn hateful? Last time I checked God does the judging of his flock. I sure as hell don't remember a passage in the bible about giving clergy that right. In fact doesn't Commandment 9 state that you shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor? Pastor Harris is with out a doubt bearing false witness based not upon his religion but based instead by his own prejudices.
I can not fucking abide some ignorant jackass using religion to preach hate and prejudice.
Pastor Harris instead of trying to "fix gay" I think we should concentrate on fixing the epidemic of ignorance that people like you propagate. I want to see Christians like you, Pastor Harris, "fix" stupid because to me that would be the answer to allot of the world's problems. By fixing stupid of this magnitude we will eliminate religious groups that preach hatred and wipe prejudice right off the map! The World would be a shiny, judgement free, acceptance heavy, war free, happy little place!
Seriously. In this age of technology and scientific study why are there still people that deny the science and try to "Fix" genetics?? Doesn't anyone see how dangerous this is? Doesn't anyone remember the Nazi's?? They were hell bent on "fixing" the human race too, look at the scary shit they did!
And why, exactly should it be necessary to "fix" someone just because they aren't like you? Because let's be honest, that's what it's really all about. These nutty ass people can hide behind religion, call themselves fundamentalists or conservatives but it isn't family values that they want to fix, they just want everyone to conform and fit into neat little descriptions. No differences, no individuality, everybody the same.
I personally find that offensive. I don't want to live in a world without diversity, what a boring place that would be!
Besides, if you "fix" gay who in the world will compliment my gigantic, flashy, sparkly rings!?!?
Till next time,
