I first posted this "testimony" to the web on July 27, 2001. If you too have found Christianity specifically, or religion generally, to be less than satisfying for any reason, please consider posting your own "testimony" to this site by clicking here , or message me by clicking here. I t is invariably a shock to Evangelical Christians to come across someone who has turned his or her back on the “faith was once delivered unto the saints.” Most believers will quickly dismiss an ex-Christian by piously pointing out that anyone who turns away from Christ was never a real believer. Or, as an insider might say it, “They were never born again.” There is Biblical support for the assertion. 1 John 2:19, which addressed the problem of First Century apostates, states that: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us....
With those psychos, I'm surprised that he didn't get shot.
ReplyDeleteAs an australian, I loved that show. They manage to take the piss out of most things. They oughta be congratulated ;)
ReplyDeleteAw man I hope we get to see more from the westbro's, they are fuggin Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteOne of these days, someone is going to take a gun to these people. And once that has started...
ReplyDeleteThere´s only about a hundred of them as is. Since they only seem to love God -
That is actually an interesting point. As often as I have heard these miserable coproverms talk about hate and hating, I don´t think I have ever heard any of them talk about the things God loves.
Anyway, if they only love God, would it not actually be doing them a favour to send them to Him?
Freeking hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYou know, one of the telling things about that clip, is when the reporter is talking to the guy with the poster, the guy actually seems almost normal, sort of "regular sort of guy" - doesnt look like a total nutjob and the reporter's comments make him laugh. (His wife, on the other hand is something else - what is it about fundy women...?)
ReplyDeleteThats the scariest thing - ordinary, regular 9 to 5 type people being turned into nutjobs.... by religion. Goes back to that Weinberg quote:
"Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
LEONARD,
ReplyDeleteTHERE HAS GOT TO BE A LEAGAL WAY TO DEAL WITH THESE IDIOTS. THE PICTURES IN THE (NOW PULLED) VIDEO WHERE THEY WERE HOLDING UP SIGNS. INSULTING DEAD MINERS, THE GAY AND LESBIAN COMMUNITY, THE VICTIMS OF 911 AND SO ON HAS ME SO TOTALLY OUTRAGED LATELY.
I WILL BE AT THE DEMONSTATIONS COUNTERING WITH SIGNS OF MY OWN. CLEANING THE STREETS AFTER THEY LEFT.
THEY ARE NOT THE WESTBORO BAPTISTS. THEY ARE THE WESTBORO MOTHERFUCKERS AS I CALL THEM
