Romans 12:2 says, Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of the mind. In th Biblical days they stoned homosexuals. This generation is way more than conformed to this world and Christians are so accepting to what they know is wrong. Gays are running all the entertainment fields and no one wants to get on their bad side. It's ridiculous! In Iraq they kill gays, because they aren't as conformed as us. That's why so many countries can't stand us, because of our immoralities.

Wait. Waitwaitwait. Wait.
Don't conform. Just do what I say.
Is that about the gist of this?
Last sentence just triggered a cascade failure in my irony meter. It MUST get an award.
...if you'll excuse me, I want to get clear of the ship before the weapons and engines go critical.
in Iraq they kill American Christians. So by your logic thats good.
Entertainment by STR8 guys, please, its that sort of entertainment that leads to Christian rock and folk music, and other abominations.
What are Biblical times? explain.
Did the rest of you check out the poll question on the original thread? It asks if were in favor of the death penalty for gays. The choices are: No, No but still make it illegal (meaning gays sex I guess), and, Yes.
No, we can't stand you because you are ignorant assholes who believe to be above everyone else and act accordingly.
Did you see the movie "The Reaping"? If you did, I bet you didn't doubt for a moment the veracity of the town at the beginning. Well, there's the problem. You waste millions for specials effects but can't bother to google a simple name.
You consider the world outside to be all the same, and we hate it.
"Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of the mind. In th Biblical days they stoned homosexuals."
Doesn't this mean you ought to bloody well renew your mind, and stop stoning them?

Err, no. People like you are the reason so many people from other nations can't stand America. Although, I do find the bashing of the American people tiresome. There are crazies in the States, indeed (like this moron), but I'm sure many of them are decent people. It's just that the crazies have the louder voice. The crazies are *always* the loudest.
In the Biblical days they stoned homosexuals.
They also declare you unclean if you touched the bed in which a woman who was having her period had slept, and God killed you if you insulted a bald guy.
In Iraq they kill gays, because they aren't as conformed as us.
And they kill each other over whether Mohamed was succeeded back in the 7th century by Ali or the other caliphs. Why take them as a model of morality and ethics?
If by "immoralities," you count "attacking and completely effing up a country that never attacked us in the first place," you'd be right. But then, you're a fundamentalist Christian, so I doubt you consider Islamic Iraquis moral.
And the fact that we have so much that they don't also gives them emotional reason to hate us.
Yeah, it's not because we started an unjust war with a country over imaginary WMDs, let the culprits of 9-11 get away, abandoned our own citizens in the wake of a horrible natural disaster, and are currently pestering Iran over imaginary nukes, and now pestering N. Korea on top it over their nukes (although real).
Yeah, it's the gays. That's it.
"Gays are running all the entertainment fields and no one wants to get on their bad side. It's ridiculous! In Iraq they kill gays, because they aren't as conformed as us. That's why so many countries can't stand us, because of our immoralities."
Move to Iraq then. I'm sure they'd love to be taught about christianity. Do us a little favor though, whatever they decide to do to you, have it videotaped. I'd like to watch!
No, that would be because of your percieved Americentrism and arrogance.
Man, whatever happened to the old "Christians are nice people" and "hate the sin, love the sinner" deal?
"That's why so many countries can't stand us, because of our immoralities."
And here the right wing pundits have been saying that they hate us for our freedoms. Now then Rose, are you suggesting we should give up our freedoms and try to be like the other countries so we can be popular? Most of us got over that kind of thinking before we finished high school.
Sure, not that you're exploiting them or using them as scapegoat for your own inconveniences. It's just that we don't execute homosexuals(even though, Jesus was clear on the throwing of the first stone)
> Romans 12:2 says, Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of the mind.
To me that sounds like very good advice indeed. Don't do what people around you do just because they expect it of you, but stop and think about all the possible causes of any action and all the ramifications of what you might do in response: try to understand why other people do what they do.
Empathy is useful in social animals.
I agree with rw23; very well written!
Rose, we don't hate you because you are immoral, we think that some of you are a bit arrogant and megalomaniac sometimes, and we think you have way too many religious fundamentalists for your own good.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
