In theory I shouldn’t talk about religion on this blog, but sometimes I feel the urge to post something I’ve found. And given that US Republican candidate Mike Huckabee recently said he wanted to change the US constitution to resemble the bible, I’m feeling inclined to say something.
Reading this list of scary, ignorant and occasionally amusing comments by fundamentalist Christians makes me concerned for the future. Individuals should be free to follow any religion (or lack thereof) that they want, but the people on this page want to make others follow their God and their rules, with force if necessary. And some of these beliefs and comments are horrific. A sample:

Women are naturally weak, they are more open to sin, then men are… The rapes happened in the bible yes they happened and were recorded, why to teach us a lesson… most female rape victims often bring it on themselves.
…
A woman wants to abort a rape child? She should have thought of that before she walked down that dark alley without a male prescence, not to mention she should have thought before putting on revealing attire.

The only solution we have to stop gays from recruiting other people is to cut off the source. They need to be taken to specialized containment centers where they will be forced to become straight and accept Jesus as thier savior and to repent from their disgusting, wicket, hatful, devilish ways. Those that refuse to go can either be forced, or banished from society in other specialized communities where they have no connetion to the outside world at all. Most would die of AIDS anyway.

In my opinion, if an animal in the wild like a swan is caught being gay it should be shot on sight, disinfected, and used to feed the poor.

[On why oral and anal sex are “unnatural”]
Oral with dudes can’t be natural because the legs will be poking out from different directions as will the ladies if they participate in oral sex. Oral with the opposite sex still isn’t natural because you still have the leg issue and often someone is further down if they are not on top of each other. Anal with opposites is still excluded from natural sex because once again your are sticking your think in a crap hole and a womans tits are usually projecting outward.

Now some people might object to killing atheists for there (and obviously it is there and not thier as they are not whos but whats ) organs but think of all the full human persons that would benifit from the organs and the medical research that could be done on these non-persons.

Satan loves homosexuals.. And will usually set them up with good careers in something Satan is in control of i.e.. Entertainment.. any form of the Media.

Looking on nakedness is a shameful and intolerable thing. And most employment for doctors and nurses requires looking on other people’s nakedness (bathing patients, giving shots, operating, examining, etc.)
And then there’s this funny-but-sad story:
I am a bit troubled. I believe my son has a girlfriend, because she left a dirty magazine with men in it under his bed. My son is only 16 and I really don’t think he’s ready to date yet. What’s worse is that he’s sneaking some girl to his room behind my back. I need help, God! I want my son to stop being so secretive!
I read a while ago that the internet doesn’t make people stupid, it just makes that stupidity more accessible to the rest of the world. No doubt the people making these comments aren’t the sharpest tools in the church shed, although that’s not the main problem. It’s the fact that their brand of bigotry and blind beliefs are informing politics and censorship both in the US and here in Australia.
And that’s pretty fucking scary.
