Lawrence O'Donnell ripped into Harris last night in his Rewrite segment. Link

"When it shall be said in any country in the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am a friend of its happiness: When these things can be said, then may the country boast its constitution and its government." -- Thomas Paine: The Rights Of Man (1791)

GAY 1. a : happily excited : merry b : keenly alive and exuberant : having or inducing high spirits

2. a : bright, lively b : brilliant in color

3. : given to social pleasures; also : licentious

4. a : homosexual b : of, relating to, or used by homosexuals

One can have the “gayness” beat out of them but not definition 4

Yeah, I'd like to see a christian defend what this preacher said.

It's most likely that none of the Christians that post here have defended this because none of them agree with it...

I would say that's correct. I was Christian for about the first 19 years of my life, and have been around many Christians of all sorts of sects and denomiations since.

I've never heard any of them talking about the virtues of punching people.

Then maybe you should listen to the tape of what this "Christian" "pastor" said. It is chilling. And it was said from the pulpit, with more than a few "Amens" shouted from the congregation.

I don't care what one nutcase and a few toadies have to say. This does not reflect the teachings and example of Christ, and nor would most Christians think it does.

Jon Stewart had Zach Wahls on on Monday night. Apparently Jews get it.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize what you heard was not what I meant...

I don't believe that's true. Many christians here do agree but know better than to even try to defend it.

I am a Humanist. I believe in a rational philosophy of life, informed by science, inspired by art, and motivated by a desire to do good for its own sake and not by an expectation of a reward or fear of punishment in an afterlife.

This is exactly the case I believe. And I fear for all the Children this bast*rd preacher has put in jeopardy. Because there are those, (far too many I suspect) that will take this preachers advice.

Although to be honest I am surprised more have not defended this preacher, since so many defended the rape by proxy laws (Intra-vaginal probes), and other various atrocities. in the name of their Christianity

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle

I don't think you'll find a single person here, Christian or otherwise, who would agree that it's anything but vile to suggest that children be punched, for any reason.
