Christian Taliban harasses town

[Mr Danksworth]

"An evangelical Christian hate group called “Repent Amarillo” is reportedly terrorizing the town of Amarillo, Texas. Repent fashions itself as a sort of militia and targets a wide range of community members they deem offensive to their theology: gays, liberal Christians, Muslims, environmentalists, breast cancer events that do not highlight abortion, Halloween, “spring break events,” and pornography shops. On its website, Repent has posted a “Warfare Map” of its enemies in town..."

Here's the wingnut's site. It's absolutely terrifying.

loads of *bleep* reading. Their fearless leader works at a nuclear power plant and no one seems too concerned.

Ah the Witchhunts are resurrected.

When asked by the reporter[Faith Miller(?) of NBC Ch.4 television] if what they are doing is discrimination or judgement:

That's not a judgement ... on my part. That is God's judgement that He has already made in his Word, ... and so when Christians say something is right or wrong they are not making judgements, they are making discernments based on judgements god has already made

This is a very dangerous mode of thinking, and it has direct parallels to other brands of religion that most of us universally view as abhorrent.

I am repeatedly being called-out as having "fear" of religion by some of our more cog-dissed members of the forum--and I concede! I do have fear!

<Cog-Dissed member>"Yabut they don't represent the majority of christians out there.'

Why don't we see the more centrist christ worshippers speaking out against this kind of insult to their faith? They tend to just turn a blind eye.

Fear?

Wow. Wingnuts R Us is alive and well and operating in Amarillo. I didn't realize Earth Day was 'Earth worshipping". Who would have thunk it.

Wackos without a doubt, but

take out the pornography and Halloween and you have the same viewpoints of a lot of rednecks I've met.

[Mr Danksworth]

I didn't know that you could be a redneck without being a christian.

I didn't know that you could be a redneck without being a christian.

Sounds like a whole new thread.

Paddle faster Dankworth...!@#% I HEAR BANJOS!!

[normaM]

I'm not a redneck, and I am a Christian.

[Mr Danksworth]

It's not an inverse relaionship. You can be a christian without being a redneck. But chances are if your neck is red, then Jebus is one of your friends... He hate *bleep*, and loves guns too!

Ya Danky, he hated *bleep* and probably wanted to shoot them all with the guns he owned.... didn't he have a tazer too?

[averagejoe]

You should add this political party from the Netherlands to your hate group list.
