Stupid fundamentalist quote about the Blacksburg shootings

Post Reply New Topic

I could not believe my ears when I heard this ridiculous and callous quote made by Linda Mcguire from the Tommie Zito Ministry

That was a very inconsiderate thing to say considering the pain of the families of the deceased ones...

They should have be told to shut up, they are asses. I'd agrue that they are permenantly done in, and that is a terrible thing to attempt to take advantage of a human never seeing, loving, or living again.

I am glad there are VERY few people like that here in Canada, and of those few, they dont have such access to national media.

thats too bad, organized religion is a joke. it always has been

I heard that too - I was horrified.
It disgusts and disturbs me that this sort of ignorant, fundamentalist evangelical believe that they have the right to speak for God and for Christendom. As though God were some kind of bored dictator, who tortures people for eternity, just for the hell of it (if you'll pardon the pun). And even if that were the case, surely they could at least feign a veneer of sensitivity, just long enough for the edge to wear off the grief of the people in that community.

Religious or not, that's just a damn crude thing to say.

How can they assume some of them went to Hell? I mean even by their own requirement to be saved from Hell these people could have done in the remaining moments of their lives.

They do have a right to speak on behalf of their religion, as religion is an invention of man. They do not, however, have the right to be hypocrits. Sadly, fundementalists have politicized their religion, identifying their beliefs with that of the Republican party. This leads to them getting their own press conferences. This is a sad, lonely, crying shame to those of us with a modicum of independant thought.

Hey, most of the founding fathers were deists and not christians. And they want to "reclaim" the nation for Jesus. When it never was his in the first place. And it never was specified which god the nation was under: the imaginary god?, cthulu?, deius?, jehova?, Zeus?, thor?. Really they are just trying to force their beliefs on others. In my opinion they are treasonous, and should be dealth with accordingly.

Their 'religion' is logically inconsistent - it is a perversion of religion.

These are not mainstream religious people and to attempt to associate them with organized religion in general in the United States is unwarranted. I will have to look it up but I seem to remember rather more leading clerics in the Islamic world saying the destruction of the Space Shuttle Challenger was not only the will of God but had also had to do God demonstrating the US would ultimately emerge defeated. There are bigger evils, and more influential religious evils in the world to make comments against.

ADDENDUM: I would also add that that Fred Phelps and his little "church" are largely despised in this country, by both religious and non-religious people.

A group called the "American Family Association" has associated itself with a, in my view, insulting advertisement that attempts to politicize the massacre at the Virgina Tech university. I have never heard of this group before, and it's Wikipedia entry is full of people I also do not know about. Admittedly, I do not know, for absolute certainly whether there are some connections to say, Jerry Falwell, or Pat Robertson or someone like that (neither of which I am a particular fan of, to be honest).
