Oh, Louie, we understand the "Christian heart" of which you speak all too well, fucker.

There are other words for it: racist, homphobic, hateful, sinful, disgusting, Texan, Southern....do you get it yet? Asshole.

This idiot is a congressman???hes a moron....

[mcstereo]

@ctwriter Man, don't lump all Texans in with this dumb son of a bitch. We may be the minority, but there are Texans who aren't ignorant, homophobic assholes. And trust me, we hate people like Gohmert even more than you do.

Many frickin hearts does religion have?

You can debate whether he actually practices what he preaches, but as far as the Biblical teaching on disagreement, he is correct. It is horrible to ever have hate crimes, and no person who does such things is doing what God actually wants, but, it is not hateful in and of itself to say that something is wrong. The motivation behind the words may or may not be hateful, but that is something that should remain outside the realm of law, because legislating intent in speech leads to tyranny.

This must be the level below Lehmans terms.

@virtualzhbl read the constitution some day. it specifically guards against such a scenario as you propose. you're entirely un-American when you propose it.

&, the word of God my ass. men wrote the book, which is the most self-contradictory incoherent thing in the world. If a 'God' wrote it, what a miserable sod he must have been.

This mother fucker right here is bat shit fucking crazy.

part of me really wishes that all the leaders chose buddhism as their religion. it wouldn't change anything at all, but at least christianity wouldn't have such a bad rap.

"...It is fuckfaces like this cow patty that give "Christianity" a bad name."

You said it.

Even worse, they translate their own need to 1) appeal to ignoramuses, and 2) protect rich people and corporate interests, into the terminology of Christianity.

I just keep thinking about those words of Christ, loosely paraphrased as: "Many will say to me on that [judgment] day, 'Lord, did we not do many good works in your name?' And I will say, get out of my freakin' face, because I never knew you."

@ctwriter

Don't blame it on Christianity. Blame it on the odd combination of abysmal, prideful ignorance and old-line protection of rich people and corporate interests that is the modern Republican Party, masquerading as some kind of "Christianity." Factually, Christ himself would've made the best progressive and the worst Republican ever.
