because of the constant doomsday prophecies that compel their narrative. No one ever bothered to explain to them the difference between 'prophecy' and 'self-fulfilling prophecy'.

As in? Hanging oneself upside down on a cross? Oh, I got it! Wondering in the desert without food and water, right?

suicide bombings? Tell us more Sandy...

us to forgive others as we wished to be forgiven and to judge not, least we be judged.

I must have read it wrong.

The rest of the rules in there are completely optional. The only sin left is being gay, according to them. Everything else is A-ok.

After sending their members in a panic then they ask for collections in order to stop the threat of homersexuality from invading their lives. Rinse and repeat.

all at one time so I can binge watch!

They can go visit and be martyred.

and goes to Meaven.

I'm not sure if she's stepped over the line legally but she's awful close.

"Incitement to violence to overthrow the government"?

This is the same as saying prepare to die quietly? No, it is a message to arm yourselves against the killing government....seems more than close to the legal line.

Hope there is an opening on the FBI home visit calendar.

The 1st amendment does not protect everything and anything.

Even openly advocating violence is OK as long as you aren't in a situation where you're attempting to, and also have a reasonable chance of, inciting criminal acts:

and much more informative.

these quasi GOP Christians skipped over all that Jesus said about not judging others or they have decided He didnt really mean what He Said, heh?

Oh, the ones that the little voices in her head told her.

Got it.

to her.

'tolerance,' 'civil rights,' 'fairness'...

That makes my hair stand up a little more

so it ain't all bad.

He really pissed off the right wingers (what few there are of the them) in his own party.

They were allowed to marry, they thought they'd found The One that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with, but after a while it didn't work out and they split up. Many of them experienced a lot of heartache over the whole process.

You know, sort of the way some straight people do.

There has been no effect from marriage equality here except for an increased sense of security and happiness for our LGBT citizens....

Adam and Steve got "gay married", settled down in the ex-urbs, adopted some kids, rescued some pets, got a netflix subscription, joined the Freemasons, joined a church, got old...

I wouldn't put something like that past a lot of them. They are downright dangerous in my area.

And should be treated as one.

Where do they find these idiots?

No matter how awful the rhetoric, the straights gather to defend them.

I can't imagine why people toss money at junk like this, but they do...

in others because she can't handle the idea of gay people being treated fairly and equally?

Sounds like it.

I wonder if the hypocritical right wing will harass her for suggesting violence the way they do when they try to frame Al Sharpton for the violence done by and inspired by the Ferguson Police Dept's actions?

and martyr the RW Pseudo Christians of the world simply by legally marrying my girlfriend!!!

He has already issued his first fatwa

Doom and gloom without specifics - that lets every nutjob make up their own 'disaster' scenario.

Unless we can find a way to round them up and feed them directly to the last few lions that are left, I doubt we'll get the chance. I wish I was rich and a DNA expect. I would try to save at least a good sample of lion DNA in case the human species ever wakes up and realizes that these crackpots NEED to be fed to lions. It is long past due.

If so, well done, Massachusetts!!!!! Excellent work.

Here in The Netherlands, gay marriage has been legal since 2001. Amazingly, we've survived rather well.

The only thing that's really going to give you trouble is the blade, but any machine shop worthy of the name can knock out a guillotine blade in a couple of hours.

I think a 2' x 4' plate would be just dandy...you could cut it diagonally and have two blades. And I think you're going to need two; once you get a guillotine and start using it you'll really like it and want another one.

Given that, PLEASE sharpen it with a belt sander instead of a grinding wheel; non sparking metal can't be ground on an abrasive wheel because it'll clog and eventually explode.

Heh.

and martyr themselves.

It's one of the characteristics.

Had Joan of Arc been killed on the battlefield, she'd have been just one more dead would-be rebel.

Taken by the English and executed at Rouen, she became a martyr.

she'd still be the hero who got Charles the Wuss to Rheims to be crowned.

She wouldn't be a canonized saint, though.

mind you those calling for it don't seem to go out and get it themselves - only other people

... a "DIY Persecution Kit" to send to this idiot?

Contains two pre-cut wooden beams, a bag of over-sized nails, and a hammer. (Crown of thorns available with deluxe kit only.)

I wouldn't want her to be found wanting when the crucifixions begin.

Checked out Home Depot and Lowe's earlier this week, but apparently they sold out during Lent, along with the "Sackcloth & Ashes X-treme" kits and the "Christians v Lions" video games.

simply because taking two landscape timbers and fashioning them into a "cross" configuration without a kit with detailed instructions or a YouTube video would be a daunting task for these folks.

Also, the idea of building something so big and bulky while one's hands are clasped in a perpetual state of prayer could be a problem.

DIY isn't for everyone. Folks like Ms. Rios should leave it to their paid staffers.

I mean yeah two gay men or women getting married equals instant death to my fellow christians!

Teh STOOPID IT HURTS!

when it starts raining or when the leaves start turning color in autumn, "Don't just stand there; DO something!"? Help me here, folks.... ? The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland?

martyrdom usually referenced events occurring after some miraculous end times prophesies that I know will never occur. I figure that's the one reason our Christian crazies aren't part of any massive organized "jihad" like what you see among middle east extremists yet. Unfortunately, there's still more than enough vague fear mongering like this to inspire plenty of lone wolf lunatics.

I'm down with it

Since according to the DU faithapologists, religion is completely disconnected from any negative actions or opinions, even when those responsible say they are motivated by religion and act accordingly.

...why else would one want to wave their +2 Spear of Stupid around for all to see?

so I can.....you know, make an informed decision

I'm fucking sick of their bullshit. I hope they off themselves and leave the rest of us alone.

This woman has no clue about what it means to be a Christian martyr.
