Woman Posts Epic Anti-Gay Video on Facebook

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ed-coffin/woman-posts-epic-antigay-_b_7707838.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592


A woman by the name of Becky Wegner Rommel recently posted an epic anti-gay video to Facebook as a result of the SCOTUS decision on marriage equality. During the course of several minutes she goes on a hilarious rant against gay marriage, President Obama, Islam, and several other things she believes are against God. Take a look for yourself, you won't be disappointed!






I have to step out for a little while. If this has already been posted feel free to delete it. I just thought it was too good not to share.

If there's one thing DU tells us it's that no matter how much people who hate and oppress and kill say they are doing so because of religion, and act as if that were their genuine motivation, it's never ever actually religion's fault or blame. ISIS is nothing to do with Islam, homophobia is nothing to do with Christianity, bombing abortion clinics and shooting doctors isn't due to it either. Never.

I can guarantee you that this woman is a functioning member of society who is perfectly rational and no doubt quite pleasant among her co-religionists. She is driven to frothing lunacy solely because she believes, as doubtless she was indoctrinated from birth along with the vast majority of the nation, that she is in possession of universal eternal truths about what the divine creator of the universe wants. Take that away and the "insanity" will, pun intended, miraculously disappear. She is not ranting about being controlled by dogs from Sirius B or that the British royal family are lizard people or other random insanities. She's ranting about what millions of Americans are fed and accept as truth every Sunday in churches.

Scary what millions of Americans are fed and accept every Sunday in churches.

Dogs from Sirius B or Reptilians or brown acid may be more obvious whackadoo crazy but the mainstreaming of functional crazy and functional hate is more dangerous.

What the heavy beings on Sirius C are telling the dogs on Sirius B may be functionally less crazy and hateful.

We may be agreeing.

Our whole evidence is one obviously religiously motivated rant. There is no psychiatric case file, no known history of wandering the streets gibbering about the walls talking Greek to her. Her only example of being unstable is being religious and having that make her bigoted in a FB video.

If you assume that is prima facie proof of insanity, then you are saying about 40%+ of the nation is functionally insane.

I'm not willing to extend the religious bigots that cover. They are almost all perfectly rational in every other area of their lives. It's not neurochemistry or frazzled synapses that make them act so wildly in religiously motivated ways. It's not a disease that can be treeated or controlled like schizophrenia or depression. Sure there are a few theocratic folks who have genuine mental illness, but no more than the general population I'd warrant and certainly not close to half of the country which is generally the right number for those who hold extremely irrational religious views such as young earth creationism, biblical inerrancy etc.

So no they are not, like mentally ill folks, victims of disordered biology or chemistry. They are otherwise normal functional mentally well people who are wilfully choosing to partition off one section of their life and decision making from the use of reason, science and logic, and deciding that that irrational part of them is the override switch for social opinions. When fundamentalists start driving 100mph in crowded streets or thinking they can fly on tall roofs, things that could cause themselves pain and risk, then I'll believe they may be insane. When they live perfectly rationally other than deciding who to hate based on a smarmy grifter in a pulpit's ramblings, it's just religion. Only religion.

just because said nonsense is called "religion."

No matter what crazy-ass myth you pull out of your own behind or a collection of stories like the Bible, you expect complete respect from everybody because It Is Your Faith!!! You don't need proof or evidence -- you've got FAITH. And we all know that faith is oh-so-special in 'murika. So people get carried away with their sense of power in having all the answers because they think they are speaking for the omnipotent ruler of a 14 billion-year-old universe, taking inspiration from the twisted tales in a storybook from 2,000 years ago.

In church, on TV and the radio. What you call ranting she would say is a sign of her conviction. We may laugh at her and mock her for her performance but she has been conditioned and brainwashed over years and years of being told "the truth". Sadly, she truly believes that her savior has been disrespected by the latest ruling on marriage equality and will carry out vengeance against all of us. So much for the All loving God she worships. But she is simply not capable of seeing the contradiction....it has been trained out of her from childhood. Things don't add up? It is God's will. Or ...there are some things you take on FAITH. Therefore, no questions. Just accept it.

As crazy and misguided as we think she is...it is important to remember she is just one of the people living in the U.S. Who think and truly believe this way. Not all will act on their emotions the way she did but they are out there and would agree with every single thing she said. And that is chilling.

"Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works." 1 Timothy 2 : 9 -10

Honey, that cleavage and makeup are what HUSSIES WHO HATE GOD wear Check yourself.

But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 1 Corinthians 11:15

And Jesus weeps that you cut your hair.


This woman is a manipulative bully who uses religion to feel superior to others. Listen to how she "relates" as she speaks. She badgers and demeans and feels a grandiose sense of knowing what god wants when she doesn't even follow the strictest rules herself.

She's probably divorced, or good friends with those who are, but their blatant sin doesn't phase her. The truth is, her life will be no different than it was before. She'll never know a difference. But her preacher and the TV evangelists she supports are going to make a fuckton of $$$$$$ from her imagined trauma.

Do you know how many rightwing politicians are going to rake in the dough by saying they're going to put a stop to gay marriage? This woman will fill their coffers as they laugh their asses off behind her back.

The great news? One of mine was at Electric Forest and when the ruling hit the festival, there were massive engagements and lots of the vendors sold out or nearly sold out of high end merchandise.

The economy is about to get a nice boost, just as some of us really smart people, who really know what god wants, have been saying for years.

Peace
