Yeah - this preaching fuckwad wants to reserve the right to pollute the minds of children with bible atrocities.

Quote:“Of course we’re all against bullying,” Mr. DeMato, one of numerous pastors who opposed the plan, said in an interview. “But the Bible says very clearly that homosexuality is wrong, and Christians don’t want the schools to teach subjects that are repulsive to their values.”

“We do not want the minds of our children to be polluted with the things of a carnal-minded society,” Mr. DeMato, 69, told his flock at Liberty Baptist Church.

So, according to this pastor's beliefs, it's not okay to bully people, just so long as they're Christian heterosexuals. This is quite unfortunate, in my opinion. He's really starting to sound like Fred Phelps.
"If your god has to make peace with me in my final hour when he has my whole lifetime to prove his existence to me...do you think I should bother?"

"But the happiness of an atheist is neither the vacuous enjoyment of a fool, nor the short-lived pleasure of a rogue. It is rather the expression of a disposition that has ceased to torture itself with foolish fancies, or perplex itself with useless beliefs." - Chapman Cohen

Phelps is just the loudest of them, sugar. This country is loaded with douchebags just like him who either haven't the balls or the right size megaphone.

Indeed. Give the devil his due (figure of speech), Fred Phelps knows his Bible. Underneath the soft, shiny veneer of Christian claims of love, peace and goodwill, it has a rotten, morally bankrupt core.

Another striking case of why theistic ethics is fundamentally flawed.

Besides being morally bankrupt, Fred Phelps might even be (or close to being) financially bankrupt due to the horrible economy. I know this is probably not the case, but it would be a great public service if he did go bankrupt.
