Jesus & Republicans, LGBT, & Whitney Houston Death In Context (The Point)

Gary Kamiya (Salon.com) shares a point about Jesus and the Republican Presidential candiates, and Dave Holmes (comedian) makes a point on if President Obama's record on gay rights is enough to make the LGBT community single issue voters. Finally, what are the more substantive takeaways from the death of Whitney Houston relating to celebrity in America, consumerism and (legal) prescription drugs versus illegal drugs? Guest host John Fugelsang (Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour) leads the discussion with panelists Diane Winston (USC Professor of Media and Religion), Rabbi Lisa Edwards (Beth Chayim Chadashim Synagogue), and comedian Paul Gilmartin (Mental Illness Happy Hour).

The GOP is clearly not Christian! They are soulless zombie Rethuglican sheeple! lying, hypocritical, arrogant, ignorant, irrational, selfish, self-centered, self righteous, cowardly, hateful, delusional and demeaning!

(Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

Christians who are slaves should give their masters

full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)

Jesus wanted your ancestors in chains.

36 minute mark: utter bull shit.

[RicoZedLand]

how can anyone watch this and just ignore the points they make because they cant keep an open mind, the second they hear a fact they dont like they stop listening and start hating.

[RicoZedLand]

you are a judgmental ass from the very beginning of your comment. shut up you hypocrite pls

[Joseph L. Green]

I can see why you are not a true follower of Christ. You don't know anything about Him. You have butchered the Bible and misquoted the words of Jesus severely! I don't have enough space to address all the issues here but you have to read the Whole Bible. When Jesus tells us to love God with all your heart He was quoting Deuteronomy 6. It bothers me when people like you horribly take Jesus' Words and the Bible out of context to support a non-biblical philosophy.

And please, obviously I'm not saying everyone who votes right is any of those things, that is just who they cater to.

[SPTips]

Yes everyone is a slave to their party and the left is horrible as well. It isnt even the left anymore. The left is the middle right and the right is extreme right. Both grubbing for votes, but I'll still vote for the "left" considering they aren't grubbing votes from anti-abortion anti-gay racist voters.
