@Cimorene: To people like Stanek, there is really no “logic” to their goddishness. And please don’t log off the internet! We need people like you combating the insanity found there.

It’s just so incredibly hateful. It’s hard to imagine that these people have ever actually read most of the Bible. I mean, I’m not a Christian, but I did grow up in a (not-terrifically-hateful) fundie church, and it just doesn’t seem like people like this could have read that book.

I wonder if they pray for the deaths of innocent people. (Like doctors. Nurses. Etc.) If she prayed for the death of this guy because he offers drive thru abortions, then a plane crashed and several unrelated people died, wouldn’t that make her responsible for their murder, by her logic of goddishness?

I should probably stop reading the internet altogether. It’s depressing me.

gaaaaa…headdesk!
Of course, they completely neglected to mention all those abortions that were prevented by birth control distributed by those same planned parenthood clinics…

I’m a deeply religious person, but I have no idea how anyone could bring themselves to respect or worship a God they believe would do this kind of thing.

I prefer to believe in One who is Perfect Love, who blesses us all, whether we deserve it or not, (He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.) I could neither worship nor serve a capricious, vengeful being such as the god these people seem to serve.

“One big-ass quibble: Anyone who sees a fatal plane crash as an opportunity for Schadenfreude is seriously misunderstanding the whole “love thy neighbor” stuff.”

There’s also that “judge not lest ye be judged” part that always seems to be conveniently forgotten…

One teeny tiny little quibble: Holocaust is best used when referring to actual, living, breathing humans who are killed in a mass genocide, not a medical procedure.
