And another reason people think NC Is backwards

[DeacHoops]

The perception of the non-church going public that this guy and his flock are in anyway representive of the type of church I go to is laughable.

this.

also, apparently now the members at the church are coming out in defense of him:

Ugh, Maiden sucks.

It's sad for the country to look at NC church going people in this light. All the country is seeing is this backwards bigoted message from North Carolina:
First Amendment 1 passes 61%
Second you have Berean Baptist church saying to beat the gay ou of your child
Now you have this "baptist minister" saying to put gays in concentration camps...(I guess this is progress since 34 years ago he was for lynching gays).

Many, many followers of Islam have been saying this very same thing for the last 11 years.

What are you trying to say? I agree with those Muslims who say that they shouldn't be lumped in with the 0.01% of Muslims who are terrorists.

And Christians who don't agree with Amendment One shouldn't be lumped in with those who do. These aren't even very nuanced points imo.

And they would also be accurate.

Also, you know that preacher man has been surprising some man-love for years. He's got to know, deep down, he loves dudes.

OK, so maybe this is a better place to put this: http://www.politicususa.com/hateful-kkk-invites-cross-burning.html

Come out for a good ole fashioned cross burning with the KKK in Reidsville!

What are you trying to say?

Not sure if there's a point to answering since you kind of knee-jerked there and just ran with things. Anyway, my point was more to point out that when the shoe's on the other foot, people who threw stones now know what it's like to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. If I may mix my metaphors...

Were you trying to say that Christians think all Muslims are terrorists? Because that would be quite wrong, too.

Uh, no I was not. I'm saying that it's an epiphany when people who condemn others for something they themselves either engage in or become victims of. Think Twilight Zone The Movie; the vignette with Vic Morrow.

As Wake fans we're all aware of what it's like to be an oppressed minority.

Here's another article about it that also points out a few other radical pastors in NC, including one in Winston-Salem. Although these guys make up a very small portion of pastors in NC they, combined with Amendment 1, are giving NC a bad rep right now.

:laugh: So I actually just watched this video today for the first time (I'd just read the transcript up to this point).

Anyway, I love how at the 1:50 mark how he says "can you imagine kissing some man" and then gets this really far off, almost happy, look on his face while he pauses and imagines himself doing just that.

I must be really dense, because if you aren't saying that Christians view Muslims as terrorists, then what exactly are you saying?

That dude totally loves men. He's got to.

I guess you're wanting to read that as a blanket statement.

Your post is probably tongue in cheek, but people like this (especially religious types) that are so aggressively homophobic are usually the ones who get caught with their pants around their ankles.

So much for live and let live.
