For those unfamiliar: Metropolitan Community Church is the denomination started by Rev. Troy Perry for gays, lesbians, transgenders, and questioning individuals.


[Disclaimer: in the last 30 years I have attended more MCC services than any other, probably a total of 3 or 4 times]

Yeah. Then there's the stories of murders committed by people after watching violent movies and hardcore sadistic porn movies or those who committed murder after watching a few chick flicks.

Too bad none of those things claim moral authority. Eh, Lek? Then you might have a valid point.

That is the same bad doge I get from gun nutters, "Other bad shit happens so lets not do anything about this shit".

Holy books are weapons and religion is poison. If that family had gotten professional help instead of listening to a preacher, shit like that wouldn't happen. Just like if the Koran had not been written 19 hijackers would not have felt it was their duty to defend Allah.

"Guns don't kill people, people kill people", right, but guns make it much easier.

So why didn't your god stop her then?

It's almost like he doesn't exist or something.

I don't know why he didn't stop her. Are you saying that if he didn't stop her he shouldn't exist. For God to exist does he have to control our every move? Why can't he let us make decisions for ourselves?
