since the “charity” george donates to is probably his own church his donations are actually serving to reinforce his homophobic beliefs, and since playing mmo’s or whatever that is has absolutely nothing to do with the subject one can see how the christian poster of this image is quite judgmental of others when their religion tells them not to , hypocrisy at it’s best.
Assuming that’s going to the church, churches use that money to support food banks and soup kitchens, and send money overseas to help the needy. Still counts as a good deed.
Speaking as someone that has and been involved with “Christian” charities for many, many years… you’re “assuming” far too much.
The next time you happen to be near a church, parish, temple – note how many of these “Godly” men seem a bit emaciated, the attire of their clothing or that of wives and children, note the homes they live in or type of cars they drive, the schools or universities their children attend, the holiday destinations they take abroad – take note of their lifestyle – they sit at the best places at the table, rather than being a servant and humble they are revered and called “Father” or “Reverend”, the very opposite of what the Lord taught.
Let me assure you – it’s a great life and tax free.
Anyone that believes that charities fair well under churches (or wealthy church people) is only kidding themselves.
I could go on for hours about this subject but I’d only bore myself and I know most of it would only fall on deaf ears or those in denial of the truth.
No, then the other guy’s tie would be blue. I can’t even tell what country this is and what political person wears black ties? This doesn’t make any sense.
Dumbass, Jehovah’s Witnesses wear different colored ties. It’s the Mormons who only wear black ties. Also, if the guy with the red tie was role playing from Shaun of the Dead, there would be a red ink stain on the shirt also.
Does George Hate? Then he is a hater. Haven’t been to church in a while, but I really can’t recall the Bible telling me to hate anyone. “Love thy Neighbor” does spring to mind tho, but that one frequently gets ignored by the haters.
“This is Jerry. Jerry spends his free time delivering food to the needy and gives a large portion of his income to a local homeless shelter.
He is also a Christian who (like a growing number of Christians) has no problem with gay marriage because he understands that most of Leviticus makes no fucking sense, and because what two consenting adults choose do with their lives is no business of his. Therefore, Jerry is not a bigot.”
The fallacy, Fink, is the concept of modern liberalism. Liberals back in the day used to be what we now identify as Libertarians. As in, if you are a consenting adult in a free society, you should be able to do most things (with the exception of crimes like rape, arson, murder, etc) without the government’s, or any other mans interference or judgement.
The problem comes that modern liberals only want you to do things that they agree with, like being homosexual, and if you disagree with anyone who is, you are immediately branded as a bigot. That’s the problem. They immediately label you with some negative label if you disagree with them, whereas Libertarians, (like myself), generally don’t give a fuck what you do, or who you do it with, as long as I am not personally affected in the process, and what’s more, if you do something I don’t care for, or I disagree with, I won’t label you in the process.
Weak, fink. So very weak. Now you are going with the “No true Scotsman” fallacy.
The bible condones some pretty despicable things (slavery, for instance). It also demands death for things like practicing divination or blasphemy. I’m amused at how you imply that one can’t be a true christian if they are okay with homosexuality, when so many other of the bible’s more problematic pronouncements are ignored by all of Christianity.
I could leave it at that, but I bet you mentioned “Old and New testament” in your post as a way to weasel out of these problematic passages from the Old Testament. It’s a common tactic for those involved theological acrobatics: by mentioning that proscriptions against homosexuality are in *both* testaments, one can argue that this particular prohibition is 100% consistent with Christian values.
Of course, this fails to account for the fact that homosexuality is never mentioned in the four Gospels, and Jesus is never officially on the record about it. If homosexuality was such an important concern to him, why did he fail to make any mention of it?
All this of course is a bit beside the point: the bible is a collection of moral lessons and traditions written down thousands of years ago, in a time of superstition and ignorance. It lays down many brutal laws and practices that have no place in the world of today. The vast majority of these pronouncements are ignored or forbidden by today’s secular laws, and no one has any problem with that. Homosexuality is simply the latest of these irrational taboos to be challenged.
George supports shutting down all the soup kitchens in New York if they are required to obey the law on not discriminating against gays. Sounds like a real nice guy.
Sounds about right.
thanks. my cunt hurts now. happy?

p.s. this isn’t sarcasm , it’s passive aggressive.

And the libtards will downvote the hell out of this one. Reason? Because logic to liberals is like Kryptonite to Superman.
If he’s so liberal, why is is tie red??
Communism.
No, then the other guy’s tie would be blue. I can’t even tell what country this is and what political person wears black ties? This doesn’t make any sense.
Black tie is Jehovah’s Witness.
The red tie is cosplaying as Shawn from Shawn of the Dead.

LOL. Strawman fallacy much?
Can I play too?

But how does that mock libtards for the fallacy of things we tell them that they believe?
Strawman fallacy much?
Homosexuality is forbidden in both the Old and New Testaments, so Jerry isn’t a Christian if he’s okay with it. Stop oppressing Jerry for his beliefs.

I just used the same tactic you used to show how bad it was. Thanks for destroying your own argument for us.
Still waiting for an actual, cogent argument.
Ditto

It doesn’t say that.
