Why do Christians use their religion in order to justify their hate for Homosexuals?

Jesus Christ

I can't stop posting to this blog, but I have to write about how Christians are using their religion in order to justify their hatred for homosexuals. Before I start I want to say that I consider myself a Christian even though I'm really not practicing right now and my middle name is Jesus and my mother gave me that middle name because she is a firm believer of Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. Now I'm going to start with the Christians, first of all for the record, I'm not degenerating all Christians with this blog but only certain Christians that use their religion in order to hate other people no matter if they are gay. What's interesting to me is that Jesus does not talk about hating other people in fact it's quite the opposite Jesus talks about loving your neighbors. In Matthew chapter twenty-two verses 37-40 Jesus says that "thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Matthew 22:37-40) These verses talk about loving God of course that's expected, however it also talk about loving your neighbors too. As Christians you are not supposed to hate anyone, no matter how they lead their lives. This is a hypocrisy some Christians in the religion have that really bothers me which is one of the reasons why I don't practice the faith as much as I personally think I should.



I guess Christians with tattoos are hypocrites
and they are all going to hell!

Now regarding Homosexuals in the Old Testament in the Holy Bible it says in the book of Leviticus chapter 18:22 "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable." (Leviticus 18:22) and it says in 20:13 it says that "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads" (Leviticus 20:13) Leviticus does say that Homosexuality is a sin however there are two problems with this, one Leviticus is in the old testament and the second problem is that Leviticus did not ever meet Jesus Christ who Christians believe to be the savior, the Messiah and Jesus Christ himself never directly condemned homosexuality in the Bible. To me personally as a Christian if Jesus did not condemn homosexuality that means that it was not too important to the savior Jesus Christ. Another point that I laugh every time I think about it, Christians that hate homosexuals believe Leviticus 18:22 completely however I guess that these so called Christians did not read the very next chapter of Leviticus. Chapter 19:28 says that "You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord." Every time I see Christians that hate homosexuals they always refer me to Leviticus 18:22 but they obviously did not read the very next chapter and when I bring it up most of these people just give me a blank stare like they never heard of Leviticus 19:28 before. So I guess that most Christians have never bothered reading the rest of Leviticus and that's funny to me because if you are going to believe in a religion at least know what you can and can not do.

Now the next point that I want to talk about is all of the right wing Christians that have not read the Bible at all obviously, or else they would not hate homosexuals. I've been watching a lot of conservative commentators on YouTube and I am amazed how hateful some of these people are. An example of someone like that is Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association (AFA) I've been watching some Fischer clips on YouTube and he hates homosexuals. He has blamed gays for almost all of our problems in this country. This video on the left is Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association blaming homosexuals for the economic crash. I was shocked when I saw Fischer says this because there is no proof what so ever that homosexuals was the reason why that the economic crash of 2008 happened. There are a number of factors that lead to the economic crash of 2008, however one of those factors was not homosexuals. That is the most asinine argument I've ever heard. This is not the only clip of Bryan Fischer hating on homosexuals but to me personally this one that surprised me or made me laugh the most. I'm assuming that most people that are going to read this blog know why the economic crash happened and it had nothing to do with homosexuals. 

These are going to be my final thoughts of this blog, I personally think that homosexuality is neither a good thing or a bad thing but it's not up to us as a society to judge homosexuals. What we as society should be doing is accepting of homosexuals and making sure that they have all of the rights that we do as heterosexuals. I know that this may not be popular with some people Christian or not, but if you are against my idea and you are a Christian, then you must understand that only God can judge people. If you are not God then you have no business judging anyone let alone homosexuals. If you look at the book of Matthew 7:1-2 it says that “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you." In other words if you start to judge other people then you will be judged in the same manner because you are sinning just as much as the homosexual for example.  Hell even Glenn Beck agrees with me check out this clip below.

PS: I don't think that Beck really agrees with me but he makes the argument that gays have made the point that equal rights for homosexuals is about freedom and as Beck says 

 "The Principle Of It Is Right"

Why are the Republicans So Obessed with Benghazi?

J. Christopher Stevens Former U.S. Ambassador to Libya RIP 

I know that I wrote a blog yesterday, however this needs to be written about and I have to give my opinion. Why are the Republicans obsessed with what happened in Benghazi? If you've been living under a rock for the last six months I will explain quickly what happened at the American diplomatic mission Benghazi, Libya. On September 11th 2012 Islamic militants attacked the American diplomatic mission at Benghazi, Libya and killed four people in that attack and U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens was one of the four people killed in the attack.

Then on September 16th Susan Rice who is the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations went on the five major Sunday talk shows and said that

Susan Rice U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

"Based on the best information we have to date, what our assessment is as of the present is in fact what began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo where, of course, as you know, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy—sparked by this hateful video. But soon after that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in Benghazi, we believe that it looks like extremist elements, individuals, joined in that-- in that effort with heavy weapons of the sort that are, unfortunately, readily now available in Libya post-revolution. And that it spun from there into something much, much more violent." "We do not-- we do not have information at present that leads us to conclude that this was premeditated or preplanned. "I think it's clear that there were extremist elements that joined in and escalated the violence. Whether they were al Qaeda affiliates, whether they were Libyan-based extremists or al Qaeda itself I think is one of the things we'll have to determine." (Susan Rice, CBS Face The Nation)

As you can see this is a pretty long quote, but I think that the whole quote is important because for some reason the Obama Administration had Susan Rice go on the Sunday talk shows and spread this story about how the attacks at Benghazi was a protest at first and then it got out of hand and turned into a attack which killed four people. Honestly when I first heard this last year, that story did not make any sense to me because they had Rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, assault rifles, and other weapons. I've never heard of a protest where people come and carry those types of weapons, that story did not make any sense to me. Now because of this dumb political move by the Obama Administration now the crazies in the Republican Party can start all of these hearings in the House and drag President Obama through the mud. Now the question I posed at the beginning of this blog why are the Republicans so obsessed with Benghazi?

If you've been paying attention to politics in Washington all of Obama's term as President you already know the Republicans obsession with what happened at Benghazi. Give up? I'll give you the answer, the reason why is the Republicans want to play politics. That's the only reason why they care so much about Benghazi, they don't give a damn about those four Americans that passed away in the line of duty for this country, all they give a damn about is playing politics and to me that's disgusting. That's why earlier I said that the Obama Administration screwed up when they had Susan Rice go on the Sunday talk shows and tell that asinine story. Now the Republicans can claim that the administration tried to cover up what happened at Benghazi and they need to know what else the administration covered up. The Republicans will bring Benghazi over and over again next year during the mid-terms next year, and during the 2016 Presidential Elections especially if Hilary Clinton runs for President as almost everyone expects her to run. If you don't think so then you are not paying attention to politics in Washington.



President Obama signing the Affordable Care Act into Law

President Obama needs to watch himself because if the Republicans somehow win control of the
Senate and keep the House, then the Republicans for sure will try and impeach Obama. Don't you think for a second that they won't try. For example in the House the Republicans have tried to repeal The Affordable Health Care act or better known as "Obama care" at least 33 times if I remember correctly, so they don't give up easily. Honestly I wish that the Democrats would be as tough as the Republicans and investigate all of the crimes that the Bush Administration committed, instead we get President Obama saying that I don't look backwards, but I look forward and that's why Bush and his people will never face justice for all of the crimes that they committed. However I personally hope that the Democrats win control of the House next year and we won't have to worry about the Republicans trying to impeach the President and the Democrats are at least sensible and most of them listen to logic.

60 Americans were killed, where was the Republican outrage then?

If the Republicans were really outraged by what happened at Benghazi, then why weren't they just at outraged by all of the Embassy attacks that happened when George W. Bush was President. Look at the picture next to this paragraph, all of these attacks on our embassies and I don't remember the Republican Party investigating any of these attacks that happened under President Bush. As you can see sixty people were killed at all of these Embassy and Consulate attacks under President George W. Bush and the Republicans did not investigate any of these attacks and those unfortunate deaths. However four people die in Benghazi and the Republicans want to start an investigation as quickly as possible. The Republican Party has once again exposed themselves as hypocrites.

Now my final thoughts before I get some conservatives saying that I'm just trying to defend the President, that's not true at all because I think that they were trying to cover it up at first. The reason why I think this is because the Presidential Elections were coming up and the President did not want to have to deal with Mitt Romney and the Republicans using this to try and help their pathetic campaign. However if I was Obama all I would have said is who cut the budget for Embassy security? Oh yeah that's right the Republicans did. It would have been that simple to counter that possible Republican attack. This is another reason why the Republican party is dangerous for America, because they want to use those four people that were killed in Benghazi in order to score political points with their base that hates President Obama and they want to get try and get elected even though it most likely won't work.

Now my final point I hope that the President Obama stands up to the Republicans for once and for all, they have been bulling him around for five years now and all the President has done is try and work with this party and agree with them in order to get the Republicans and the conservatives to like him more. President Obama how has agreeing with the Republicans worked out for you these last five years? I'll tell you all the Republicans have done is stab him in the back and their ultimate goal is to try and impeach the President and to me personally I think that the President set himself up for all of this to happen to him so I don't feel that badly for the President. I know that this blog was long but I had to write this because I'm sick of all Republican hypocrisy went it came to Benghazi.





 

The Republican Party Needs to go!

 

Abraham Lincoln

The Republican Party is just too dangerous for our country, and we as progressives can’t keep taking this party seriously. I’m amazed how low this once great political party has fallen, for example Abraham Lincoln freeing the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and he won the Civil War and he showed leadership when the presidents that came before Lincoln did not do anything to stop the events that lead to the Civil War. Well to be fair the only President of the 1850s that maybe would have been able to stop the events that lead to the Civil War was Zachary Taylor, but I digress.

 

Theodore Roosevelt

 Another Republican President that I liked was Theodore Roosevelt with his progressive policies during his presidency. He went after the large corporations and the large trusts. JP Morgan really did not like Roosevelt. I also really like TR's style he went out and fought for the common man and unlike Barack Obama made his case to the American people and then the American people were able to put pressure on Congress and they were forced to pass TR's agenda. 

 

These points that I made were the main reasons why I became a republican when I was younger, because of their once great history key word there history. However at the time I did not realize that the Republican Party had become a different political party that had sold out the corporations and to the lobbyists. Not just some corporations, they have sold out to every corporation, from the gun manufacturers to the private health care companies to the big oil corporations to the big banks, and I can go on and on.

 

George W. Bush (Moron)

 I realized the Republicans had sold-out around 2004 when President Bush, was running for reelection and I realized that Bush was just a moron and I could not stand him and I was a Republican at the time because he lied us into the Iraq War and he gave huge tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and deregulated not only Wall Street but most corporations. All of this deregulation and the tax cuts lead to the crash of 2008 and if the Republicans had their way we would not have had any food stamps unemployment insurance and any of the social safety net that was put in by Democratic Administrations. The Republican Party has been working for the last forty or fifty years in order to remove all of the reforms that Theodore Roosevelt put in place in order to help the common man and the country as a whole and makes sure that the wealthy and the corporations get all of the benefits. I voted for John Kerry and around 2006 I left the Republican Party and became a progressive and I never looked back.

 

We as progressives can’t allow this party to live on past 2014 and 2016 because if they are allowed to stay in some sort of power in Washington then this country will go further downhill. Just as a disclaimer I’m not talking about getting our guns and killing all of the republicans, like the right wing always want to do. I’m talking about us progressives going out and voting and organizing and getting people to vote for real progressives in order to get the change that we can really believe in. The Republican Party needs to go, there time is up and we as progressives can't allow these lack for a better word nut jobs to continue to have any power in Washington DC. Enough is enough we need real change!
