....the homophobic, conservative "Christian" Republican echo chamber
couldn't get any more absurd or laughable, think again. This is not from the Onion: CONSERVATIVE WEBSITE BLASTS CBS'S SUPER BOWL PROMO CBS and Neil Patrick Harris have come under attack from the executive editor of the popular conservative news site WND (formerly World Net Daily) (aka World Nutcase Daily) for "mocking Christianity" and "pushing the gay agenda" in a Super Bowl ad currently airing on the network. The ad shows Harris wearing black paint under his eyes, similar to the kind worn by many football players, with "Feb 3" written in white ink under one eye and "2013" under the other -- the date for Super Bowl XLVII. The ad appears to be a spoof of New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow's practice of writing the numbers of bible verses on his eye paint. In his WND editorial, Joe Kovacs wrote that CBS "is now using an outspoken homosexual actor to mimic Tim Tebow's style of trumpeting messages." Kovacs quoted one unnamed "football fan who watched the CBS promo" as saying, "They're pushing a gay agenda by using him, and they're mocking Christians at the same time." Neither CBS nor Harris has responded. - - - Harris is a funny guy, and even if he is spoofing Tebow's religiousity (which is not proven), who gives a ****? Suddenly you can't spoof religion? Why is that? |

We mostly talked about sailing, politics, and fishing. I'm still wondering how the Christians 'force' their beliefs on you folks. I have had Jehovas Witness a couple times knocking, and once I had the Mormons... Told them I wasn't interested and they were on their way. I do see Salvation Army at the holiday, and other groups here and there if I pay to go to their events...:) |

I have a vivid memory as a young child of a Sunday school teacher describing Noah's Arc and the flood and how in heaven the lion will lie with the lamb, etc. I remember looking around at the other kids and thinking wow, they believe these stories, I better just be quiet. They do routinely come to my front door ignoring the no soliciting sign and try to convince me that I need to dedicate my life to Jesus to avoid an eternity of suffering, join their church, and donate to their cause. Perhaps they mean well but I think they're full of **** and annoying. I've never had a Muslim, Jew, or atheist solicit like that. Maybe if I stop being polite to them they'd leave me alone. |

Christians force their beliefs on others in many ways other than attempts at door to door salesmanship. These include but are not limited to: Attempting to reinstate official school prayer in public schools Enacting laws that restrict the availability of abortion and access to birth control Restricting the rights of gays to marry Restricting medical research and development in the area of stem cells |

I'm sure one of y'all said something about Christians 'forcing' their beliefs on you. I've had many interactions with Christians, but have never been 'forced' to believe any certain way. Not sure which of you got 'forced', 'cause y'all sound so much alike anyway. I've also had various folk come to my door with religious intent of one sort or the other. I don't listen as long as you apparently do, so I don't know about their trying to convince me of all those things you mention. I've found a polite, "Not interested, thanks," along with shutting the door solves the problem. Maybe, thumper, you're right. Open the door with a .45 in your hand, say, "Get the **** off my porch," and slam the door in their face. After all, you do have the sign, right? It's nice, also, that you were so much smarter than all the kids in your Sunday school class. You should simply have told your parents that you didn't believe all the **** they believed. Then you could have grown up and been even more like ESAD! -- **Those who think they can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of them better take a closer look at the American Indian.** |

You weren't unhappy to see the law banning school prayer. Laws is laws. Nobody expects you to like em all. So let's stop the crybaby whining. Shall we. Man up Krause. |
