BEAR, SCHMEAR!

I should explain this shot. It was taken in 1996 at the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade. The wacko Christians were there in force with THEIR banners, so I went to Woolworth’s and constructed my own banner out of posterboard, sharpie markers and a mop handle. I then barged in and joined them. You should have seen the look on the tourist’s faces as they read my sign. It was right at the Powell St. Cable car turnaround.

    Rich: Thanks for the explanation of that picture above. Personally, I wouldn’t call those Christians “wacko”! I have talked to people out on the streets as those in SF did. If they didn’t care, they wouldn’t be out there! CB
    CB- You’re absolutely 100 % right! Wacko is the wrong descriptive for these demented fuckwads.
    I should have said hypocritical, sypilitic, delusional shit-for brains jesus fuckers.My bad. -Rich

    I wouldn’t call them christians at all. Its sad that conservatives have chosen to Pervert christianity with their political vomit.
    Its becoming more and more apparent that republicans hate jesus.

    You’re group of friends certainly seems to do a lot of fun stuff. Big hugs to all of you!!

    Completely true, as usual, Paco. If there really was a Jesus as depicted by scripture, he would have to be revolted by these fuckwad wacko fascists who use his name to push their agenda of pure hatred and ignorance.-Rich

    Paco and Rich: The video on youtube is confusing personal ethics and governmental policy. Fact is, St. Paul wrote in Romans 13 that government “bears not the sword in vain.”
    Hence, governmant properly uses its authority to punish wrongdoers and fight wars when necessary to protect the nation. In saying this, I am not saying whether Iraq is a proper war or not. What I am saying is, there are times when war is a necessary evil.

    Given that this is a world gone wrong because of what happed in Gan Eden, Jesus Christ came here incarnate in human flesh to live a perfect life, die a sacrificial death, and rise from the dead. The point? To cover those who believe with His perfect righteousness. I would refer both of you to Luther’s Small Catechism, instead of the people witnessing on the streets. I suspect I might have disagreed with them at points.

    Rich: Email me on this! I need to get more for you on the Resusrrection! CB

    Hmm This is the typical conservative move when it comes to the Bible. Quote everyone but Jesus. Its more proof that conservatives hate jesus

    Paco: Some words of Jesus Christ for you: “Except you believe that I am He, you will perish in your sins.” “I and the Father are One.” “No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, He hath made Him known.” “No man can come to Me, unless the Father draw him.” But then, “All Scripture is breathed out by God…” St. Paul

    A very interesting debate , problem is that the view of religion was to often hi-jacked for those whom it suited at the time . To many “religious” groups have tainted there hands in blood in the name of religion ..
    the true union of two souls is preordained no law no country no man can change that. To focus on arguments based on a book published , edited and rewritten by man over centuries is ludicrous to say the least.
    Man has lost the true meaning of the book , how to love and live from love.. how to prevail when life deals you that down card.
    I thank you

    to quote that great philosopher stewie griffin

    “stay away from the church, in the battle over science and religion, science offers credible evidence for all the serious claims it makes, the church says ‘ oh its right here in this book, see the one written by the people that thought the sun was magic’ i for one would like to see some proof that there is a God, and if you say ‘a babys smile’ i’ll kick you in the stomach”
