Who is burning the Baptist Churches in the South and why?

[frankly_fedup2]

[hobo_baggins]

1. How about, just some crazy lunatic

[frankly_fedup2]

7. Yeah, that would include all of those listed. (nt)

[Orsino]

2. You mean it's not us godless lib'ruls?

Coulda sworn this was our m.o. and everything.

[frankly_fedup2]

8. I don't believe so because it seems they all appear to start fire

at the same time. We are incapable of synchronization.

[Benfea]

3. All of the arson is against a particular sect.

That suggest strongly to me that whoever it is, it's a Christian of some sort. Anyone else would not bother to make the distinction.

[frankly_fedup2]

18. Question . . . do you live in the South? The reason why I ask is because

the town I live in has 5 Baptist churches but not one Catholic or Episcopalian. Of course, we have a lot of the Church of Christs (code for Holiness), Church of God (same code) very different from the church I'm use to but to each his own. Then the Church of handling snakes and drinking poisons, but if you are a true Christian and accept Christ as your one and only savior, you won't get bit or die from drinking arsenic. This is Bush's base in the South.

Falwell's Church is Southern Baptist; however, it's a huge place and not out in the sticks like these churches were.

Me, personally, feel it is members of a white supremacy group like the KKK. Especially with Coretta Scott King's death and her memorials this week seem to correspond with the fires. It's like they are trying to send a message since her death has been an end to an era.

These are the type of people who use tragedy for their own agendas. They don't believe in change and some of these a***** would still have human slaves if they could (what am I saying, there is human trafficking of women from the Ukraine to Turkey, from Indonesia, etc). I just watched Front line last night on PBS and it was about the sex trade and how they torture and mistreat these women and how cruel these pimps are, especially the ones that are sold to Turkey. They always want the blonde, blue-eyed women for some reason. I don't understand why because they cannot have any women until they are married, and the women they marry are turkish, so if these men are not married (assumption on my account), wouldn't they be as attracted to Turkish women just as much??? Go figure!

Anyway, I truly feel it is more racist crime then small attacks from our enemies.

[Shell Beau]

19. That is an interesting thought, but I personally don't think

the KKK would have targeted all white churches. Of course with those freaks you never know.

[Benfea]

23. Yeah, I've lived in the South (not any more, thankfully).

And yes, the majority of churches in the South are Baptist, but by no means is it all churches.

PS — if it's a white supremacist group, why were some of the targeted churches white?

[frankly_fedup2]

26. They aren't known for their intelligence (hence their bigotry) . . .

The Kings were Baptists and the timing just seems like it is a little odd to me. Only my opinion. Also, I believe that the churches that were predominantly white still had black members, they were not exclusively white. These types of groups will voice the same kind of hate for any other race who would socialize in any way with a black person. Coming from the South, I think you have probably heard the hateful words that they use.

Do you think these crimes of arson of these nine churches are not racially motivated?

[Benfea]

37. Actually, racists hate "race traitors" MORE than they hate minorities

Quite a bit more, in fact.

[Jamastiene]

40. I've been called some pretty bad names for talking publicly with

non white people. I know this from first hand experience. I think you are correct that they hate "race traitors" more than they hate minorities. I believe they do too.

[JVS]

4. Angry Jesus

[Deep13]

5. The Lord God of Israel. nt

[Burma Jones]

6. Those Fucking Episcopalians

That bunch of ultra-violent right-wing Catholic-lite scum. God, how I hate them, they're worse than Goddam Hitler.:nuke: :grr: :nuke: :hurts: :boring: :boring: :boring:

[Shell Beau]

9. Hey now, it wasn't me!!

:P

[Burma Jones]

14. I'm sorry, I had my Nap, and now I feel much better

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

15. But of course!!!

:hi:

[Burma Jones]

16. Nice to see you again

Were you being watched at work???

[Shell Beau]

17. Nah, I just switched jobs and now I am traveling a lot.

Luckily for me, the courthouse I am doing my title work in has internet access. I am going to get a laptop soon!! I need it bad. But it is good to see you too!!! :7

[frankly_fedup2]

20. Do you use a company car or your own vehicle? I'm only asking

because their are tracking devices people can buy to keep up with their kids. The information comes back to a computer program and it's like a satellite picture as to the roads, places you've stopped, everything you do in your vehicle as far as traveling.

I cannot believe I am paranoid enough to even bring this up. Are we losing our minds? Is that what they want us to do?

Glad you guys got your nap in though. I didn't get mine today, and I haven't showered, dressed, or done anything to my house. It's almost 4:30 p.m. and my hubby gets home at
5:30 p.m.

I gotta go.

[Shell Beau]

21. I am in a rental right now since I totaled mine Monday!

x( But I guess I don't worry about things like that. :)

[elshiva]

27. It wasn't me!

[Blue-Jay]

10. Amish Jihadists.

[Shell Beau]

11. I am really scared now!!

:scared:

[Blue-Jay]

12. clop clop clop clop .....*silence*........ clopclopclopclopclop.

Drive by shunning.

[Shell Beau]

13. Hahahahaha!

:rofl:

[applegrove]

22. A crazy lunatic. Of course. But there are so many types under Bush.

[madrchsod]

24. both sects of mennonites

crap i forgot the zorasters

[frankly_fedup2]

30. I thought they were the characters in Hell Raiser Movies

LMAO . . . :rofl:

That's as funny as the Palestinians (Arabs) claiming they are the Canaanites and that is why they claim the Jews are on their land . . . but that's a whole other discussion.

[DanCa]

25. Disgruntled anti-choicers maybe...

because the shrub has lied to them time after time about Roe?

[frankly_fedup2]

29. That could be a possibility. After all they created a term called

a "Partial Birth Abortion" and actually signed a bill into law regarding this pure propaganda that does not occur on any live, viable, healthy infant like they want everyone to believe.

[liberaltrucker]

28. Neocon brownshirts

For the same reason Nazi brownshirts burned the Reichstag:mad:

[GrpCaptMandrake]

31. The Methodists!

You just can't trust 'em, I tell ya!

:rofl:

[JI7]

32. anyone remember Parlock ?

[NMMNG]

33. I don't know

But I think they are cowardly a$$holes, and hope that they get caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I may be an atheist, but I in no way condone the burning of Churches.

[Jamastiene]

39. I'm with you on this one.

I don't care who it is, but I hope they catch them and punish them to the fullest extent of the law. I'm one of those people who were forced into the fundamentalist version of Christianity as a kid. I hated Christianity with a passion for years until I met Rev Cheesehead and some other liberal (the ones I call the true) Christians on DU. Never would I condone burning someone's church no matter how much I disagree with them. I would not even condone burning the right wing Bush supporting churches in my area. It just seems so wrong to me.

Who could do such a thing? Only the KKK would do that. But then again, the jihadists may be responsible in some cases. I still think it's right wing hate groups doing it, especially the KKK bunch.

[Strong Atheist]

41. Agreed. nt.

[Allenberg]

34. Activist Liberal Judges

Part of the agenda. :yoiks:

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

35. KORESHIES!!!!

WARNING: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

The David Koresh Died For Your Sins Society: a freaky cabal formed in Waco, Texas after the FBI firebombing of the Branch Davidian Temple; Composed of an ultra-right-wing sect of Branch Davidians, a dissident band of Serpentine Pentecostals, the few remaining members of the Vernon Wayne Howell Memorial Gunpowder Packers and Marching Band, a handful of former CTI agents loyal to Jack Bauer, and the Fifth Directorate of the Hungarian Mafia...

Why?

WARNING: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Because they have, so my informant told me before the Pentateuch wore off, a list which they believe indicates each and every church which has ever had a member who has ever displayed a freedom banner, sticker or window placard, read the U.S. Constitution, or displayed anything advocating or supporting the U.S. Bill of Rights!

WARNING: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Another informant, questioned under sodium pento-endorphinol, stated categorically that the real purpose was to institute a backlash by the neoArmageddonites against 3rd-worlders, anti-W.T.O. protesters, I.W.W. goon squad members, pro-Semitic anti-Zionists, Trade Unionists, pro-Choicers, Doctors Without Borders, the A.C.L.U., and assorted other members of the "Their Haids ain't Pointy" Conspiracy! The informant would have said more, but began cackling madly and speaking of the Martians who bombed the churches to uncover the remains of their (Martians) revered saints.

Of course, it could just be a bunch of Third-Wing Wacos...

[hippywife]

36. Someone for whom

another civil war in this country would be advantageous would be my guess. :shrug:

[Benfea]

38. Maybe it's Reverend Phelps followers?

It could be nutters who decided that Baptists aren't anti-gay enough because they're not out protesting every funeral they can find.

[Hosnon]

42. I'm going with crazy nut - perhaps some extreme athiest. nt

[noonwitch]

43. Teens sick of their S. Baptist parents dragging them to church on Sundays.

That's my guess.
