What's that Bible quote I found earlier today...

Leviticus 19:33-34

33 " 'When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. 34 The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

And Bammy isn't even that alien! Yup, them's some GOOD Christians, all right!!!

They're still trying to figure out if this is a crime? It's a hate crime, for sure!

I am sickened by that.

I am the LORD your God

So offtrack, but I love how he's always reminding the reader that he is the lord your god, as though we're going to confuse him with some OTHER vengeful, humorless genie in the sky.

That just makes me so angry....

That whole book is brilliant. If I ever need a good giggle, I just read Leviticus. 19:19 is my favourite bit; it orders you NOT to wear polycotton blends! God doesn't go into details of how much of a filthy filthy sin it is, so it MUST be terrible! Leviticus is also the bit the homophobes cite as saying the Bible forbids homosexuality. Which is funny, 'cos I always read that paragraph as "I am the LORD your God, and I demand girl-on-girl action!".

Disclaimer: do not be fooled by my sense of humour; I too am a Christian. Just one of these really confusing open-minded liberal sorts who fade into the background in comparison with the sickening fools of the OP.

More than a fear of Obama losing, I fear for the man's life if he wins.

Oh Weez, you silly little nit, you know Leviticus is only to be adhered to when it refers to man on man action!

I'm sorry; I guess I let my sanity stand in the way of hatred. I've got so much to learn... ;_;

And this was a Christian college?

It doesn't read like the action was representative, but rather that of a fringe.

"Students and school leaders at a small Christian university expressed outrage..."

I picture Republicans defending this "Hey, it's only an effigy! Not like they actually hung him! Besides, people get hung in effigy all the time! If he can't take Christian College students hanging him in effigy how is he going to stand up to Al Queda?"

Weez, never mind God. *I* am ordering you not to wear polycotton blends.

[Weez]

Posted: 9/25/08 at 10:18am

You do realise that if I don't, then I can't wear any of my underwear? Nuts to that! :P

OOh, you DO NOT want to wear synthetic underpants. Ever. Really. Cotton only.

[Weez]

Posted: 9/25/08 at 10:25am

Yes, and what about bras? Trust me, I need serious structural engineering to render me comfortable and supported, and plain ol' cotton just doesn't cut it. :P

You are cleared to wear any bras you wish. But panties need to be all natural-cotton every day and silk for those really special occasions.

"Hey, it's only an effigy! Not like they actually hung him! Besides, people get hung in effigy all the time! If he can't take Christian College students hanging him in effigy how is he going to stand up to Al Queda?"

Joe - that sadly and frighteningly sounds plausible as their response.

I too worry about Obama if he is elected.

I hope he makes it through his term(s). And that's a very grim thing to say.

I would hope he has triple the usual security. He's going to need it.

What the hell is this country coming to???

If Obama wins, some white trash from the south or embittered lunatic will take him out and the country will collapse; if McCain is elected, he will drop dead, Palin will become President, and the country will collapse.

This just really gave me chills.

I'm really starting to be more frightened for this country by the day.
