    Pastor Jenkins needs a bizarro Westboro Baptist type demonstration outside church every time he preaches. He is a fucking asshole.

    Get a bunch of people from all walks of life chanting shit about the fairy tale shit he preaches and that he better hope there isn't a hell because he is headed there if there is.

    I'd bet the good pastor has sucked a few cocks in his day, probably didnt want to run into all his secret buddies from the truck stop

    I would bet this is more likely than picking a random "straight" guy and finding him in a truck stop bathroom.

    Rapped?
    I find it hard to credit a post that can't even spell "raped".

    Ever heard of "corrective rape"?

    And what is the point? That it's OK to be a bigot because other people do awful things?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It means "Shut up about people I don't care about, there are people I do care about suffering."

    I think. I don't want to speak for the OP.

    Nope, not at all. I just think gay people whine too much for how much this society caters to them. And I am against homosexuality so there's that too.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    So, what part of that isn't "shut up?" Do you feel "stop whining" and "shut up" are different sentiments?

    I feel like your response validates my translation, but the fact that you don't want to claim ownership of that wording illustrates that you realize it's a pretty poor outlook.

    Christ would not have canceled any funerals, because he loves all equally, even though people like the pastor, and those who directly on the other side (wink) are very quick to judge

    I wonder if the good pastor will now return any donations and tithes this disreputable family has made to the church?

    I think extreme positions and actions can be found in all beliefs:

    For Debbie Burton, who was married to a Jew and raising her kids as Jews but wasn’t Jewish herself, exclusion from synagogue ritual roles never really bothered her until her daughter’s bar mitzvah, when she was told she could not speak from the pulpit of her Chicago-area synagogue.
    “It was the first time that I had ever felt that I was excluded from a minyan activity because I was not Jewish,” Burton, a professor of mechanical engineering at Northwestern, wrote in a 2010 essay for Interfaithfamily.com. “I was hurt to feel prevented from publicly sharing my thoughts on the occasion of a Jewish milestone of my child. After all, even though I wasn’t Jewish, I had played an important role in my children’s Jewish education and upbringing.”

    Honestly, she could have stood up from her chair and addressed her son and the rest of the people in attendance. I'm not seeing a problem with her not being able to speak from the pulpit.

    I guess my thought is sometimes decisions are made based on belief that really don't seem to take into consideration the actual situation.

    She was excluded from doing something that was important to her as a mother and denied to speak about her daughter from a pulpit that father can go up and speak at.

    Stand on a chair, really? Why not just dress her in a clown suit and have do soft shoe tap dance in front of the guest . . . has as much dignity as standing on a chair saying something about your own daughter while dad says things for a pulpit.

    Not as extreme as this pastor, but often I wonder about decisions that are made in the name of faith. Deny a venue based on what the faith says . . . I wish sometimes they would just stop and think about the situation and allow a little humanity into the equation.

    I didn't say stand on a chair. I said stood up from her chair. Much like someone gives a speech or a toast at a wedding.

    I look at it being similar to a non Christian taking the sacraments during a Christian church service. You are welcome to be there but you really don't belong eating the body and blood of Christ.

    I'm sure the mother was welcome to speak at her son's Bar Mitzvah but not from the pulpit, which has religious significance to them.
