Christian Idiocy

The idiocy runs so thick here, there was nothing I couldn't quote from the story! But, the EXTRA idiocy is bolded.

JONESVILLE, S.C. -- The sign in front of a small church in a small town is causing a big controversy in Jonesville, S.C.

Pastor Roger Byrd said that he just wanted to get people thinking. So last Thursday, he put a new message on the sign at the Jonesville Church of God.

It reads: "Obama, Osama, hmm, are they brothers?"

Byrd said that the message wasn't meant to be racial or political.

"It's simply to cause people to realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in there that does not believe in Jesus Christ," he said.

When asked if he believes that Barack Obama is Muslim, Byrd said, "I don't know. See it asks a question: Are they brothers? In other words, is he Muslim ? I don't know. He says he's not. I hope he's not. But I don't know. And it's just something to try to stir people's minds. It was never intended to hurt feelings or to offend anybody."

Obama has said repeatedly during his campaign that he is a Christian and attends Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

Despite some criticism, Byrd says that the message will stay on the sign. He took the issue before his congregation Sunday night, and they decided unanimously to keep it.

Byrd also said he doesn't want it to look like controversy forced him to take the sign down.

Where to begin with this batch of morons? Firstly, you are getting people "thinking" because the names rhyme? Actually, if this bigot paid any bit of attention, he'd know that of the three candidates remaining, it's actually John McCain who's Christian credentials are in the most question! (OMG HE ISNT BAPTIZED OMG HE FLIP-FLOPPED ON HIS RELIGION AND WONT TALKZ ABOUT IT11!!1!!1!) But, well, McCain and Osama don't rhyme -- so no cute sign. (And he's a Republican.)

Secondly, the man is equating Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden. This is the same pastor supporting the party of President Bush who has said "Frankly, I don't spend that much time thinking about him (Osama)" DON'T SPEND MUCH TIME?!?!?!?!?!

He's been marginalized???? He's a FUCKING mass murderer! Shouldn't we be worrying about BUSH being a Muslim?? Wouldn't a Muslim not want to spend much time capturing this mass murderer???? Oh, wait, Bush doesn't rhyme with Osama. (And he's a Republican.)

This church needs to be closed down and the pastor excommunicated. Seriously.

Oh, and I expect some crazy religious nut will find this blog and feel the need to post some similar mumbo jumbo of how I am anti-Christian and blah blah blah...well, don't both writing and shut up, this is about THIS church. But go ahead and call me whatever you want...I need something good to laugh at.
