Oh wait, it is. A very true theme, and one that's causing a very high rate of teen pregnancy and teen abortion. A rate not seen in countries where there are high rates of professive Christians, Agnostics, Hindi, Jews, etc, etc.
Teen pregnancy is the USA isn't because of of fundie USA Christians, but they certainly play a part in the high rate. But only a part.

Regardless, I think we can handle those issues without reverting to stereotypes.

Patriarchal standards of virginal purity sure are though.

Also, it obviously matters more if it's conservative evangelicals being mocked. They're just so persecuted donchaknow.

And yeah, I know about the Greek "X" but that's not how you're using it.

It's funny that it bothers you.

Everytime I hear a xtian whine about oppression/discrimination/disrespect, I'm tempted to feed them to a lion.

It's funny that you're provocative until you're called on it.
11/27/09
Substitute in Jews, Muslims, Mormons, Atheists for your Christians lion food and you'd be excoriated as a bigot.
I don't think Christians are being oppressed, that's silliness. But I also don't see the point in being ignorant and rude over someone's religion, or lack thereof.
But hey, you're just trying to be brief right?
11/27/09
It's shorthand, get the fuck over it. If you're looking to be offended, just let me know. Trust me honey, you'll know if I'm TRYING to offend xtians, and for once, this wasn't one of those times. I suggest you not be so easily offended by shorthand.

I don't see the point in getting ass hurt over an abbreviation and whining about it, but hey, you're just LOOKING for an argument, right?

And tossing in the "you'll know when I'm trying to offend Christians" line just means you're peddling cheap provocation and pre-packaged resentment.
Sweeping statements about people based on their religious beliefs is offensive and trite. Would #STFUJEWS or #STFUATHEISTS be a funny tag?
11/27/09
See the parallel?

Yeah...some people aren't educated and don't know what "privilege" is. Shame.
11/27/09
@moifauxmail: Where did I make sweeping statements?
If I wanted to offend you, I'd tell you to suck the imaginary dick of your imaginary god, but I have manners, so I don't say things like that.
I didn't make any sweeping statements. You're getting offended by shorthand, decided to be RUDE about me using shorthand, and now you're offended that I was rude in response? Really? Buy a fucking clue.
Also, you can't switch religions out for each other. Doesn't work that way. Look up "privilege" then come back.
Man, and they claim you can buy educations these days...

...but that Graphic is a beautiful thing. And it will come into so much use as Christmas(Xmas, which is not sarcasm, it's just easier that way) approaches!Or when I'm in the DMV and staring blankly at a generic Happy Holidays! sign and suddenly being ranted at by the lady next to me about the watering down of Christmas by the forces of evil (or something) and how horrible it all is. Like last year. I wish I had that on a T-shirt. It's like any vocal minority of a much larger and powerful majority - of course it's a massive generalization, but little but feelings are hurt.
Also, Glee: Ryan Murphy is a proud shitster. Both Nip/Tuck and Glee make that clear. Getting upset about anything he does is playing right into his hands.

First it's shorthand, then it's cracks about lions now it's your imaginary god can suck my dick. What next, an all caps quotation from "The God Delusion". I'd suggest the bit about the God of the Old Testament being psychotic, that one never gets old and looks swank on a t-shirt.
I can switch religions out for each other because any statement as intolerant and generally pig-headed as yours have escalated to in this thread say alot more about your intolerance than any non-specific Christians out there. Find yourself a new straw man.
Here's the kicker, I'm not a Christian myself. Yes, it's possible to not believe in a religion and still show people common decency and respect rather than mouth off like every other 14 year old with a keyboard.

For what it's worth, if Jews and atheists whined as much as Christians do about imagined offenses and illusory persecution, I'd tell them to STFU as well.

The entire Gleenaverse is filled with weirdos and hypocrites. That's the point of the show. Having one bad Christian family does not make a show anti-Christian. For all we know, Finn's awesome mom or Kurt's understanding dad could be Christian, too. Ohio is about 76% Christian, so odds are good that Quinn is not actually the only Christian, just the only one whose religion has been relevant to a plot point.

I would argue the "Moral Majority" and all of its minions are in fact anti-Christian.

Only thing that got to me was some of my friends would openly say they dated non-Jews for practice but would never marry them.

My Father was none of these. Of his 3 children only married on the list (and she was just a Doctor).
Trust me I understand the phenomenon

I've gotten in trouble with the minions of the undead on here for not specifying in the past.

She's a genuine good person who practices exactly what she preaches. Like any other group of people there are jerks and there are cool people.

i wonder sometimes where that principal got lost.

But to the matter at hand, my experience living in small town Arkansas is there is rampant teen pregnancy here and rampant Evangelicalism. The pregnant teens are not thrown out but end up living with their parents long after the baby is born and live as an extended family. In fact there is no "shame" but rather celebration. I don't know what to feel about that. I'm glad the young girls have support, but I'm also sad that they never got to experience adulthood as independent women.

And for this, I blame George. You should never trust the quiet one.
