Re: Sad
Don't tell me scamming people out of millions of dollars in the name of christ is not a big deal. We should be seeing christians get together to protest the hell out of guys like Peter Popoff and Benny Hinn instead of worrying if them faggots could marry each other or not.
Don't you find it a bit odd that the only people exposing these frauds for who they are are skeptics like James Randi and Danny Korem? Christians should be up in arms against these crooks who are using jesus's name to make money, amen. But instead we only hear crickets chirping from the christian churches.

You and those like you are completely missing the point.
If this is an isolated incident, then fine this guy is a nutjob and most fundies don't pay attention to him. But the fact is this is not an isolated incident and the chrisitian communities have a long history of turning a blind eye to nutjobs and crooks who hide behind religion. This particular case just serves as another example in a pattern that many of us observe.
Again, we should be seeing christian campaigns against people like Fred Phelps, Jerry Falwell, Benny Hinn, Peter Popoff, Kent Hovind, and a kazillion other crooks and liars who scam society's most gullibles out of millions of dollars each year. Instead, we see christian communities focusing their energy and money on taking away most basic rights of gay people.
Do I really need to remind you people that President Bush openly supported the criminalization of homosexuality in Texas when he was governor of that state? You people put him in office for 8 years, so I can only assume that you people are as hateful as he is. All the while, you completely ignore the crooks and liars who scam you people out of millions of dollars each year in jesus's name.
So, no, the main point of this thread isn't about just this particular case of a christian nutjob praying for the president's death. The main point is to give another example that fits perfectly in the pattern of misplaced efforts by christian communities.
Moral high ground my ass.
