Reply #45: Tony Perkins' "beliefs" obviously include torture, war, and hatred [View All]

[WildEyedLiberal]

Let's see, what do rightwingers believe in again?

- torture

- war, regardless of whether there's justification for it or not. It's fun to kill and maim people

- hatred of gays

- persecution of the poor and sick through immoral economic practices

- hatred of women who don't "know their place"

This is the ideology that Tony Perkins ardently defends under the banner of "Christian faith."

I think Tony Perkins will be surprised when he dies and gets a one-way ticket south. I know it's not my place to make those judgments but I can't help but think that if there is a hell, today's rightwingers are the type of human scum it was made for.

By the way, StoryTeller, your comments in this thread are superb. This speech touched me deeply and went right to the core of why I love John Kerry so much. I am sure my faith is not as strong as yours - I've been too disillusioned with religion in BushAmerica and, as a Catholic, it seems like I can't even go to Mass anymore without having anti-gay or anti-abortion rightwing crap thrown in my face, so I just don't go. But Kerry's speech really reached out to me and made me remember why I was ever religious in the first place. That is the model of Christianity that I wish to follow and which has been utterly absent from public life since the advent of the cruel, wicked religious right and their perversions of faith.
