Religious Right Opposes Attempts To Prevent Anti-Gay Bullying

There is a growing expression of concern across the nation in the wake of the recent reports of gay teen suicides that happened in connection with bullying and harassment. Some educational administrators and law makers are actually talking about taking action that goes beyond appropriate expressions of regret. Well guess who is upset over the prospect that something might change.

1. May these hate groups rot in hell from where they came and will return. They are

the devil in disguise.

2. So, basically, those right wing groups are saying

that bullies are their constituency. Of course, we've already known they are bullies for a while, but now they have openly admitted they are bullies and they know it.

Telling, isn't it?

3. That is shameful. Rec'd. Don't these bigots know their scripture?

4. Corintians1 13 13

"Three things will last forever�faith, hope, and love�and the greatest of these is love."

And I know I've said this hundreds of times but here it is again. If Jesus thought homosexuality was such a horrible sin, don't ya think he would have mentioned sometime in the three years he was preaching?

I swear to the GODDESS these guys don't even read their own holy literature.

5. We are dealing with Christian Dominionists

not just the religious right. The Dominionists believe that laws do not apply to them, unless the law is from the Bible, so why not bully gays. We have to wake up and realize who we are fighting now, and what their goals are. A Christian Theocracy in place of a democratic government.
