I feel very sorry for you. You sing about being a christian which I assume means you believe in the bible but your words indicate clearly that you treat it like an all you can eat buffet and pick and choose which parts you wish to follow.
THAT kind of christian is NO christian at all.

I want to formally declare the word bigot to be positive. Such a word, when applied to right wingers especially, is an acclamation of intelligence. So bigots unite! I am a bigot and I am proud to be a bigot, because being a bigot is a good, positive thing. Not a bad or negative thing.

We'll have to great each other with this b-word in the same fashion as blacks do with the n-word. In fact from now on this slur may only be used by the people it is intended to offend. So let me be the first to say "What's up my bigot?" Can I get a whoop, whoop from all my bigots out there? Of course no one outside of our group may use the b-word in any context. It's our word and we're taking it back.

"Meathead" is still around. (No, I don't mean the President. .)
Unfortunately, some people have the same views as meathead.

Could you please provide an example of what you are talking about? Here's the link.

I would love to see what NT scripture the OP has found to support his declaration.

How about it, OP?

Good luck. It seems that we may all end up in the same place.

Now. Can you point me to the text I asked for?

Those who have perverted the truth about Christ, trying to make him tolerant of all peoples all beliefs are just plain ignorant. We do not judge others we judge the fruit of their lives. Do we condemn people, no they condemn themselves through denial of sin and Christ's sacrifice for our sin. In the end it matter little. We will all be judged by the only one worthy to, Christ!
Awesome post! Sorry I can't rep ya again.

But you do have a right to impose your values on us?

Couldn't find that. Maybe you could help me locate what you're talking about?
