Christians Oppose Anti-Bullying Week

An awareness week is coming up to prevent barbarism in school.  Of course the Christians are up in arms about this, since they’re the ones teaching their kids to be barbaric.

Here are a few quotes from the latest trash from Linda Harvey of Mission America (Google them if you want the full article.  I won’t be linking it here.)

But is respect for Christians part of these “no name- calling” lessons? Or does this effort in reality create more division by labeling and stereotyping objections to homosexuality?

No, dear, labelling the different types of hatred your children are spewing is the first step to solving that hatred.  And, yes, it is hatred.  You can call it pity or hope or go full-out double-speak and call it love, as so many Christians are wont to do, but it’s hatred.  Even if you hold to the smarmy and dishonest, “Love the sinner, hate the sin,” bullshit, it’s still hatred.  You don’t hate the actual bag of flesh, you just hate who that bag of flesh is.  And that’s hatred.  You can’t object to homosexuality and not hate homosexuality, just as you can’t object to Jews or blacks or Mexicans without hating Jews or blacks or Mexicans to some extent.

And as to why there are no “Respecting Christianity 101″ lessons on the agenda:  It’s entirely unnecessary.  Christians are the overwhelming majority of almost every school in the nation!  There are so few non-Christians in the school and so few of those non-Christians actively hate Christians, that such a course presented to an entire school of 500 students might apply to only one student.  And that student isn’t going to listen anyway.

The labels are “homophobia,” or “hate,” or claiming that opposing cross-dressing is “heterosexism.”

Actually, heterosexism is a term meaning the idea that heterosexuality is the natural position of all people and homosexuality is a deviation from that natural position.  “Opposing” (hating) transvestites would be included in that umbrella only if the transvestite was a homosexual.  “Opposing” heterosexual Eddie Izzard, for example, would not be a case of heterosexism.  Please get the terms that apply to you right.

And, yes, opposition to homosexuality is hate (see above) and homophobia.  Homophobia, contrary to what the name suggests, is not only a fear of homosexuals and homosexuality.  It is also an aversion to or discrimination against homosexuality.  You have an aversion to homosexuality and, as such, you discriminate against homosexuals.  You are a homophobe.

Thousands of us are highly offended because it’s not true. I know my own heart and there’s no hate there; there is in fact, grave concern for these kids, lots of prayers, etc.

It is true and you don’t realise it.  That only makes it worse.  When you tell a homosexual that he needs to change out of fear of hell and that you’ll pray for this to happen, you don’t realise how insulting that is to homosexuals.

Imagine your indignation if a Muslim approached you and told you that you need to give up your lifestyle or go to Hell and that he will pray for you to convert to Islam.  You would be offended and you would probably write some racist tirade on your idiotic website.

Yet I and others will never change our minds about homosexuality, because we know the truth. I used to approve of homosexuality but changed my mind when I got more information, not less.

There’s only so much information in the Bible against homosexuality.  Three verses.  Any “information” you got against homosexuality came from those three identical Bible verses.  You’re learning more and more about less and less.

And you know nothing.  You think you know the truth.  You don’t.  You’re an arrogant dipshit with far too much self-confidence.

The truth is, homosexuality itself is hateful.

Some homosexuals are hateful.  Just as some heterosexuals are hateful.  To leak a secret from our secret agenda, homosexuality is actually not about hating heterosexuals.  It’s mostly about buttsex.  And loving relationships.  And buttsex.

It is a dead-end affection, fruitless, never creating new life.

Careful, girl, you’re treading on very thin ice with this shitty argument.  Is a relationship between infertile people hateful and “a dead-end affection”?  They can’t produce babies either.  Infertile and homosexual couples have the option (where allowed) to adopt children and they can still raise and love their adopted children as much or more than any breeding couple can.

“Gay” student clubs only add fuel to these raging internal fires, by dwelling on supposed discrimination while urging entry into the behavior. The enemy? Traditionalists— students, teachers, parents-— who know how harmful homosexuality is.

Again with this “knowing” shit!

The only reason homosexuality is more harmful than heterosexuality is because open homosexual students are a target for violence and bullying from Christian students.  The only danger I’ve ever felt from being a homosexual, and it happens frequently, to be quite honest, comes from threats from the Christian side.

And, as the founder of the Cave Spring High School GSA, I can attest that there was no rallying against Christians in the school.  Unlike the Christian clubs who would preach on school grounds that homosexuals and non-Christians were evil, GSAs actually follow school policies and don’t target other groups as enemies.  If we did, our clubs would be shut down.  As any religious club that preaches the same should be.

Unfortunately, there are many kids who are acting out homosexually who get bullied, and we in no way want to excuse this unkind and harmful behavior. But the solution is not to endorse homosexuality. Instead, we need to get counseling for these troubled kids to help end their self-destructive behavior,

Your plan to stop bullying of homosexuals is to get homosexual kids to stop being homosexuals?  Fine.  I’ll accept that if you’ll accept my plan.  You say you want to stop the non-existent bullying of Christians in the schools, well, we’ll have to counsel Christian kids and get them to stop being Christians.  That’s my plan.  If you’re unwilling to accept it, then I’m unwilling to accept yours.

at the same time schools should consistently punish all uncivil and unkind treatment by bullies.

Okay.  Linda, for your hate speech, you must spend three days in in-school suspension.

What causes more harm to kids—-bullying of students who believe mistakenly they were born homosexual, or homosexuality itself?

Trick question!  Neither.  Bullying of kids who are actually homosexuals causes the most harm.

Here’s what she thinks is bullying against Christians:

“Homophobe” = A slur that describes anyone who objects to homosexuality. Even expressing the “yuck” factor means you are a bigot. Repulsion is now a mental disorder.

If you saw a black person and said, “yuck,” no one would hesitate to call you a racist.  Why is it any different with homosexuals?

“Heterosexist”= A slur against traditional beliefs about gender and those who think authentic marriage is great, that sex change and homosexuality aren’t.

“Authentic marriage.”  I love the doublespeak there.  Why do you morons keep saying “traditional beliefs” are the best beliefs ever.  If we still held the beliefs of your religious tradition, you would be stoned to death for speaking up and writing this article, for a woman shall not teach a man.  I think that’s in 1 Timothy, but I could be wrong.  I’m rusty on my Epistles.

“Hateful”= A slur that deliberately misunderstands the opposing view. Saying no to homosexuality means you are evil, when the truth is, such warnings save lives.

How many lives have you saved, cunt?  You don’t save lives by telling gay kids that they are unnatural and going to Hell.  Some of those kids will try to change, fail at changing and kill themselves.  You know how I know?  I almost killed myself for that very reason when I was a sophomore in high school.  You can convince yourself that you’re helping these kids all you want, but the truth is that you’re wrong and your hate–and, yes, again, it is hate–is driving kids to suicide.  I hope you’re happy.

“Oppressor”= A slur that implies you are harming others by your ‘hateful’ attitudes. You are the problem-—not homosexuality.

See above.

She concludes with this garbage:

Please, folks, let’s wise up. Either go to your school with other parents and start fighting this nonsense today-—or remove your children. Home school them or put them in Christian schools.

You know what?  If you’re going to engrain hatred of homosexuals into your children so deeply that the prospect of not bullying them scares the shit out of them and you, take your children out of the schools.  The more hateful children you remove from the public schools, the easier it will be for LGBT students to get an education unimpeded by fear of their peers.

Linda, pull the gerbil out of your ass.  I can tell he’s been gnawing and it’s making you uncomfortable and bitter.
