Are you asking for your loving god to murder an entire Massachusetts town?

Sorry to interrupt you're little moral superiority rant there but:

Hyperbole (pron.: /haɪˈpÉœrbÉ™liː/ hy-PUR-bÉ™-lee;[1] Greek: ὑπερβολή hyperbolÄ“, "exaggeration") is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.[2

Yes, the “pattern” is

Christ and His people
vs
Everyone else.

I have no problem with fire and brimstone. We deserve it.

I am sitting pretty close to 'ground zero' (New England), and I wholeheartedly agree. Some begin to understand what it was like for Lot to have lived in Sodom and Gomorrah.

That would be a perfectly acceptable rebuttal except that most of the christians here take the bible literally and certainly take the Sodom and Gomorrah thing literally and actually DO believe in magical terrible places with lakes of fire and whatnot.

I’m am absolutely confident that the person wishing destruction upon South Hadley really does thing a magical vengeful sky king reigns death upon towns.

And by the way, this is a charter school with kids from many, many different towns. I hope god knows this when he begins his destruction.

By definition, God cannot “murder”.

If you can accept the population bottlenecks and incest necessary with the literal bible stories, you can accept gay people having kids somehow.

I just read more about this. The main complainants are Catholic. How many gay priests molested little boys in Massachusetts in the last 40 years?

These people know no shame.

If you aren’t a Christian, you probably wouldn’t care that God is mocked, but a lot of us do and it is our duty to express our outrage at this. And because homosexual priests are in the church that makes it okay to promote homosexuality to children and to blasphemy? Not to me, it doesn’t.

Just to be clear here, you are begging this entire town to be mass-murdered?


Get a life. You don’t know anything about the Bible, so shut your pie hole.

It’s a big deal for homo perverts to use Christian children and the Bible to mock God. Not to you, becuase you mistake yourself for being above God or the Bible.

Not that you are owed an explaination about a God and faith you reject, but no one “calls God’s fire down” on anyone else. The poster is correct that there is a history of things turning out badly for evil people who act aggressively in their perversions like this and for the people who allow and cooperate with them. If you don’t like that, too bad. There is probably a butt god for you to worship somewhere.

Could you imagine the reaction in Saudi Arabia or Iran if a school produced a play with Mohammad as gay?

I doubt the governments of Saudi Arabia or Iran would permit much a school play.

I’m not equipped with enough biblical knowledge to discuss your response. However, I can see that you are pushing some meme.

My point was that it is an impossibility for their liberal logic to be valid, which is true in every case that I get to see liberal logic.

Thank you for your concern. I have a wonderful life - and I've spent many of my 40 years learning abou the Bible. I see no reason to "shut my pie hole," though. This post is in News/Activism, not Religion.

you mistake yourself for being above God or the Bible.

I guess this is some sort of insult. I'm pretty humble, actually. I'm not the one who thinks a magic sky king created the heavens and the earth for a tiny slice of certain humans to live in everlasting glory while everyone else perishes in eternal hellfire. To me, that's the height of hubris.

there is a history of things turning out badly for evil people who act aggressively in their perversions like this and for the people who allow and cooperate with them.

Riiiight. You do realize this sound no different than any other delusional religionist who worships their One Trve God, right? This is a stupid high school student play. It doesn't offend me in the least because I couldn't care less about it. Is your god so weak that he can't handle a stupid high school play that subverts the stuff nomadic bronze age goat herders verbally passed down for a few thousand years? Sheesh.

There is probably a butt god for you to worship somewhere.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd there it is! Freepr moral crusaders can NEVER go half an hour without exposing their own gay fantasies. Cheers!

nah, no meme. Just every now and then (maybe once every 2 years), I can’t stay away from the more extreme christians FR attracts. Granted, JimRob is one himself, so it makes sense.

I usually stay far away. This type of stuff has no bearing on my life. As you can tell, I’m not part of the christian wing of the conservative movement. I find it has damaged the efforts more than it has helped. I’ts fine to morally object to a stupid play in a far off state that you feel denigrates your religions. I get that.

But to take it to the next level and pretend that god is going to judge the town (even if it’s a charter school with kids from all over) and possibly destroy it - is, I’m afraid, asinine.

It’s only one step below the psychopaths who kill cartoonists for daring to draw their god.

“Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever man sows, that he will reap.”
(Galatians 6:7)

“Vengeance is mine. I will repay, says the Lord.” (Deuteronomy 32:35)

The fact that you don’t believe it doesn’t change God’s mind.

“It’s only one step below the psychopaths who kill cartoonists for daring to draw their god.”

That is one mighty big step then. It is a long way from anonymous posting on an internet discussion board to actively hunting down and actively murdering “heretics” in the name of their god. In fact, I’d say that there is at least one step in between, which are those that hand out candies in celebration of the killing of a Jewish family in their own home.

But that’s just me being objectve....

Feel free to flame away at folks for their religion, I won’t stand in your way, however you should really go back and read your posts with a special eye towards moral relativism.

You’re such a pooooor victim of someone with Christian knowledge, standards and morals. How dare they “judge” aggressive queers debasing the Bible in public schools and warn about what happened to Sodom!

You have studied something for forty years. But I think you missed the Bible. Yeah, you are a joke.

My comment was more for his fans who are cheering on the impending doom - to make sure they pray the right way.
