[soccerchicxxoo]

welcome back!

Very well said. Thank you for posting this. It shocks me how pompous people refuse to listen to reason just so they may retain their faith.

This movie hopefully has a huge impact on parents of gays and gay children contemplating suicide. Those who feel such should note: THE BIBLE IS INDEED FICTIOIN and THERE IS NOT A SINGLE PIECE OF CREDIBLE EVIDENCE THAT JESUS EVER EXISTED! Also, We KNOW AS FACT that the miracles attributed were simply borrowed from other religions and did not happen.

[THEREIZNOGOD]

i'm sure he existed as i'm sure there were many men who ran around making the same claims. or perhaps there was a great teacher of ethics and morals? whatever he was, the church turned him into "the lord our god"

[THEREIZNOGOD]

that's what i meant. there were plenty of "nice" people. the church just took a character (an amalgam, perhaps) and made him into what we know today as "hey soos". (very funny by the way)

I encourage everyone to go watch John Armstrong's YouTube video "Skeptic Bible Study: Pedophilia in the Bible"

I loved the movie and I'm glad it didn't end up being as pro-Christian as I thought it might be, but still felt it should have offered a non-Christian perspective. I completely agree with your thoughts. I can't believe how much intellectual dissonance exists even in gay Christians. I was on another video and one said "You just haven't prayed hard enough and really wanted Jesus." I'm like "Uhh... Isn't that what fundamentalists say about curing homosexuality?" He did get my point at least.

Incredible movie. I was moved to compassion, and wish Bobby was still alive and able to see that (a.) he was a good person (b.) God did not hate him (c.) that not all Christians think badly of gays and lesbians. I ran into a guy with skewed logic that felt blacks were impure (according to his Christian church). Unlike most respondents in this forum, I did not blame Christianity in general (nor Christians). I blamed him for allowing himself to remain uninformed and controlled psychologically.

Hollywood keeps kissing the ass of xtians. The movie makers know the majority of the peeps in the U.S. are xtians and they don't want to lose money. It's getting old. Someday ppl will look back on the days of theists as being the brainwashed barbarians that they are.

[THEREIZNOGOD]

and by then, they'll have moved to a different absurd theology

[OakTreeFilms]

Prayers for Bobby was incredibly inspirational and emotional. After hearing this commentary thing, I feel like its meaning was ripped apart. Kind of sad.

[JerryRSun]

Finding this movie inspirational is like finding inspiration in the new moving coming out about a nazi who has a bond with a Jewish friend. You shouldn't be a nazi in the first place. You shouldn't take morality out of the Bible in the first place.

i realized it sounds that way after i listened to it a couple times. but i do give her credit for changing, and i simply state that if she wasn't credulous enough to believe in god to begin with, if she had questioned the absurdities in the bible to begin with, she wouldn't have been so harsh and tormenting to a wonderful person. i'm not gay, but i feel terrible and almost hopeless about the way gays are persecuted. christians have their faith to use as a good reaon for it

[9WORLDTRADECENTER11]

why? he doesn't attack his mom, he jsut says that she, like others, is still confused about religion. i'm sure he's still glad she's warmer towards gays

[rosal1n]

who can tell me anything that's wrong with gays without being a jerk?

[nopornallowed]

no one.  there's nothing wrong with them. the same christian assholes that don't like them come to my channel to look at lesbians

[THEREIZNOGOD]

they can't do it.  they have no argument so they get angry and they say stupid things. they're like stupid children

[ChrisandDG]

so gay

[THEREIZNOGOD]

so sad

[GATFOCT]

hey fuckhead, go kill yourself. one less lifeless person walking around

[Intellektual1]

Comments rendered by ChrisandDG is not worth responding to. A response only empowers him. Let him remain in the cesspool of bigotry where he belongs. You can't reach them all.

[THEREIZNOGOD]

absolutely. i don't know why i bother

[imaginethereisnogod]

Your pet religion video had me in stitches laughingWWJD - What would Jesus recommend as the best torture method to get people to confess their sins and accept Jesus as their loving savior?

Answer: What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others. - Confucius, The Confucian Analects about 500 years before Christ

[rosal1n]

are you really happy with yourself?

[nopornallowed]

grow up!

[imaginethereisnogod]

Its ok to be gay. But do not let anyone play with your private area. Except priests. If a priest plays with your private area, or has you play with his, it is for the glory of god and you will be blessed for it. But dont tell your mom. And if you want it to stop, praying to god wont make much more difference than praying to anything else. Except maybe the police.

Lifetime, television for idiots.

[THEREIZNOGOD]

glad the movie reached out to you

[rosal1n]

then you must like television for assholes. it's a higher level idiot

[Intellektual1]

Lifetime is a television program that shares real life events and adverse issues that help us cope with them through entertainment. According to your definition of an idiot (and as a person who watches Lifetime) I consider myself privileged to be labeled one.

That was exactly what I needed to post on MySpace!

[rednecktrucker1969]

I wish I had cable to view this movie. I say Segorny Weaver on GMA and wanted to watch it.
