29 Comments on “Fischer: Gay Rights And Religious Liberty Cannot Coexist”
As a Christian-at-heart, I am not allowed to force my religion or ideals on
anyone. There is no point otherwise. Even though David and Paul from the
Bible calls homosexuals “abominations” which I don’t 100% agree with (my
bias is purely on an evolutionary standpoint, not religious), does that
mean we should take their rights away? It goes against what we are
“supposed” to stand for. Everyday I lose faith not in God but the church.
The fact is that the Homosexual Agenda (there really isn’t an agenda) and
religious liberty do exist together. Fishcer just doesn’t want them to
peacefully coexist. Basically he’s out to start a fight, get people hurt
and killed.
Since homosexuality is a genetic trait (deal with it already!) which will
not vanish simply because some prudish people don’t like it, I say we take
Mr. Fischer up on his offer and abolish religion! OK, maybe I am being a
bit flippant. But, unlike ones sexuality, religious belief really is a
choice. Although I would never genuinely endorse abolishing religious
liberty, we will all be better off once people willingly set aside childish
beliefs and learn to accept actual-reality on its own terms.
Groundhog Day. Does this guy know any other words? When he speaks is it
ever about something that isn’t gay people and his TOTAL misunderstanding
of us? ‘Gay Agenda’. I’m thirty-two years of age and would LOVE for someone
to finally put me out of my misery and tell me what the fuck this ‘gay
agenda’ is. I guess this straight guy knows more about same-sex attraction
than I do…
What does this even mean?
huh?
did anyone else subscribe for the laughs? all the videos i’ve seen so far
from the RWWBlog are so far right wing and ignorant it’s sad. . . and good
for a laugh or two
Here’s the thing: LGBT rights do not intrude upon religious rights. I’m a
member of the LGBT community. I am also a Roman Catholic . Nothing has
infringed upon my rights to practice my religion as I see fit. And yet my
rights as an LGBT individual are denied constantly. So who is infringing
upon who?
He’s right. My partner and I can’t have sex unless we first stop Christians
from worshiping their God.
Hey Fissure – Explain Regent University (Patty’s school) researcher’s study
that says “Ex-Gays Can Act The Part, But Orientation Doesn’t Change” by
Mark Yarhouse of the legendary Yarhouse & Jones study of 2007 that claimed
gays can be ‘cured’…
Christians and sanity can’t coexist.
Hey, that’s works for me and more and more people every single day, non
believers our numbers are growing education tends to work that way. BTW
thumbs up for RightWingWatch.
And stop calling blind bigotry and hatred of gay people “religious
liberty.” Religoius liberty is things like being allowed to pray,
congregate, etc., NOT crap about denying gays their rights and telling them
they’re sinful and the whole 9 yards.
This guy is perfect, the pure stupidity thats spewed from his mouth is
what’s going to guarantee success for gay rights. I find it sad that people
like him exploit the stupidity of his audience, those who live in a
constant loop of false dichotomies, having to use lies, stigmas and bigotry
to keep himself paid. I want to say the people who are fooled by him and
other BS artists like him deserve what they get, but leaving a malleable
mind to the mercy of someone corrupt like Fischer is inhumane.
Religious rights is the right to bully others. Everyone else has to be bow
down to them.
This fool is what the result is if you try to base your way of life on a
book that was manufactured by a bunch of bishops and an asshole who could
not keep his own ass off of a cross. LOL Jesus is nothing more if he even
existed than a bastard who did cheap parlor tricks. And now people like
this idiot fisher want to try to base a nations laws on this shit? Thats
bat shit crazy. Fuck Fischer and his idiot minions.
i find it curious how right wing “christian”republicans, before the
elections (i.e. their candidates for congress & president [like bachmann &
santorum]), always seem to ratchet up their hate for those who don’t share
their insanity. among them are the likes of cantor & tea party members of
congress, who really don’t give a shit about americans, who intentionally
shoot themselves in the foot by protecting the rich at the expense of the
suffering middle class! what’s up with that…stupidity?
What is the homosexual agenda anyway?
Fischer and his Christian brethren are on their way out – just a matter of
time.
@stravelius You are absolutely right. What is terrible and what does not
coexist is religion (Christianity) and anything. If God so loved the world
and the humans that she/he created and God is so loving and forgiving,&
Christians must be lving and forgiving, where the hell is the love,
forgiveness and tolerance? If the so called Christians that act & believe
this way are “REAL CHRISTIANS” then they wouldnt be acting or believing the
way they do. LOVE, PEACE, FORGIVENESS & TOLERANCE FOR ALL
“Bryan Fischer says gay rights and religious liberty cannot coexist and
that one is going to have to give.” I vote religion to go. Anyone with me?
@WEWILLSECURE You’re an idiot. Learn to spell simple words, like won’t
Hes right in a sense. Secular values have eroded “religious liberty” at
every turn. Because the bible doesnt change…people do. Its the main
reason why people dont have the “religious liberty” to stone people for
working on the sabbath. Or why people dont have the “religious liberty” to
sell their daughters into slavery. Or why people dont have the “religious
liberty” stone homosexuals. But hey, no one is stopping him from believing
things which society no longer deems teneble
No, gays=trannies, not tyranny. Idiot.
I don’t recall homosexuality ever being a threat to “religious liberty”.
Homosexuality isn’t some sort of anti-Christian cult. Religion is of course
the real threat to any sort of liberty. What Christians don’t realize is
the fact that they aren’t the ones being oppressed, though they percieve
that to be the case. Their perceptions are completely warped. Sadly it’s
nearly impossible to convince them that they are wrong. They’re like
children, I swear. “LALALALA, I’m right you’re wrong!”
I’m sorry but this inn isn’t a fucking church. This inn is a PUBLIC place.
It doesn’t involve in any religion whatsoever. I’m in that fucking state
buddy. It’s terrible and keep your Christian agenda out of my life.
No… YOU can’t have “religious liberty” and gay rights, Fischer, nor can
your bigoted friends. But PLENTY of Americans, not the least of which
include LIBERAL churches and church leaders who are actually tolerant and
act as Jesus would, CAN. So fuck off, you old prick. Once all these
far-right bigots die out, we’ll finally be able to treat gays as human
beings in this country nationwide.
Curious…..could you put more of this in context? Seems like this was in
the middle of a much larger point.
“Something is going to have to give.” Yup, that something is fundie
Christianity. Homos have been here before Christianity. And they will be
here long after Christianity takes its rightful place in human mythology
next to Zeus, Vishnu, and Quetzlacoatl.
