Evangelicals Left Off National Cathedral 9/11 Program

Post Reply New Topic

Ten years ago the Religious Right were inciting war as revenge for the 911 attacks.

Actually it's some liberals like Chevand are starting to shape up on their behavior, and he's recently admitted to some of his failings. You on the other hand have doubled down on your immaturity.

To point out the obvious.

Inviting muslim leaders, while not inviting Catholic, Evangelical, etc. religious leaders (especially since there are more Christians in the US than Muslims) shows a double standard and is arguably religious discrimination in violation of the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution. It wouldn't surprise me if more Christians died on 9/11 than Muslims considering Christianity has a higher demographic percentage of the US population than Muslims.

78.4% of the adult population in the United States is Christian.

1.7% is Jewish

0.6% is Muslim

I think discriminating against 78.4% of the US population or 80.1% if we throw in Jewish people whom are the next highest religious in percentage (since atheists claim they are not a religion), in favor of 0.6% of the US population and the 16.1% that are nonidentifed (I'll lump them all into the atheist category), is blatent discrimination.

You're my role model. I am acting more and more like you every day. Except that I am much wittier and much more intelligent. Plus, I know how to spell.



You're way out of line!

(I'm just borrowing an Inuyasha stock phrase. Boy, was that fun! I feel so powerful now!)

So, now you want quotas, do you? Boy, you really are playing the Victim's Card.

So, how many Catholics, Evangelicals, and Atheists do you want to share the stage?

It is just a friggin' ceremony. That lasts maybe an hour. If you don't want to go, then don't go! You have plenty of other options for listening to your beloved Evango-Fascists. Heck, there are more evangelical radio stations than public radio stations these days.

The Evango-Fascist hymn concerning the Ecumenical Movement begins at about 3:00.

What point would there be, really, in inviting an evangelical to share the stage at the National Cathedral?

“A Call to Compassion” will include an interfaith prayer vigil on Sept. 11. It will feature the dean of the Cathedral, the Bishop of Washington, a rabbi, Buddhist nun and incarnate lama, a Hindu priest, the president of the Islamic Society of North America and a Muslim musician.

However, Southern Baptists, representing the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, were not invited to participate – and neither were leaders from any evangelical Christian organization.

“It’s not surprising,” said Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee. “There is a tragic intolerance toward Protestants and particularly toward evangelicals and I wish the president would refuse to speak unless it was more representative.”

This service was called "A Call to Compassion", and compassion is something that evango-fascists sorely lack in the first place.

When Prick Perry had his evango-fascist prayer meetings in Texas, there were no Episcopalians, Catholics, Buddhists, Moslems, Atheists (at least that would admit to Atheism), and certainly no Jews on the stage.

So, why didn't this traitorous scumbag set the example for quotas?
