Say What Now of the Day: Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, North Carolina, went on an anti-President Obama rant earlier this month during a sermon. Then he got off topic:
I figured a way to get rid of all the lesbians and queers. Build a great, big, large fence — 150- or 100-mile-long — put all the lesbians in there… Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can’t get out… And you know what, in a few years, they’ll die.
He ended his sermon with this thought:
God have mercy. It makes me pukin’ sick to think about — I don’t even whether or not to say this in the pulpit — can you imagine kissing some man?
Notice the “Amens” from the congregation throughout.
That is just scary and very, very wrong and very, very not Christ-like.

What? This is wrong. At least in Holmes County, Ohio, the Amish drink Mountain Dew and Pepsi and will eat anything they can get their hands on, especially Snickers.

“Since the publication of my first book “The End of Faith,” thousands of people have written to tell me I am wrong not to believe in God. The most hostile of these communications have come from Christians. This is ironic as Christians generally imagine that no faith imparts the virtues of love and forgiveness more effectively than their own. The truth is that many who claim to be transformed by Christ’s love are deeply, even murderously intolerant of criticism. While we may want to ascribe this to human nature, it is clear that such hatred draws considerable support from the bible. How do I know this? The most disturbed of my correspondents always cite chapter and verse.”— Sam Harris (via thatbeardedatheist)
“He that screameth the loudest has the least confidence and the least knowledge of the matter.” — Gospel of Snyderly 2:26
As many of you know, I am a Christian. Therefore, I do think Sam Harris (and you) should believe in God. The thing is, there is no way I can convince him (or you) of that with my words and hostility. If Christians are supposed to be living like Christ, they need to be loving like Christ.
“… and the greatest of these is Love.” — Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:13
