[broken is upset about a new song that was sung at church containing the lyrics: "I pray I can love my brother, no matter what religion, race, or color" and "keep on dreaming."]
The only lyrics I remember are the ones I posted in the OP. Since I had never heard it before, I wasn't singing or worshipping along with the others. Neither was my dh. We just looked at each other and were absolutely sick when we read those lyrics on the screen.

So, since you hate love, does that mean you hate God and Jesus? God is love, you know.
I know I've said this before, but people like this make me ashamed to call myself a Christian.
Seek-The-Light's comment gave a shred of relief; but the rest of that thread? *Whimper*.
Also from the thread:
It is a pretty liberal community, and it seems to be seeping in to most of the churches around here.
Good. Fundmentalism (in any religion) needs to die.
Of course, we all know that Jesus wanted us to hate, and crucify anyone of different race, religion, or color.
Not teh scary tolerance! Tolerance never did anything good for anyone... well, except for various empires and countries throughout history who prospered when they employed it, then crumbled when they didn't.
I can't believe people like this until I meet one. I haven't yet had the, erm, honor.
"Love thy neighbor as thyself."
Honey, it's in the Bible. You're not going to pick and choose what you believe in the Word of God, are you? Ha! :P
No. No dreaming is allowed. It might give people IDEAS about being nice to each other and how women are people too.
ETA: "Then they are singing to God about how He loves everyone, specifically naming Presbyterians , buddhists, gays, lesbians. (which I know He does, but the message of the song was tolerance, not the whole truth)"
What IS the whole truth, then? "God loves youuu, yes He does, even if you're gaaaaay, oh but if you are, you sicko freak, He is gonna make you paaaaaay!!!"
Waaaaahhhh! They won't let us think we're better than everyone else! What, do they think we're supposed to show humility or something?
What?
What do you mean ridiculing nonbelievers isn't considered loving?
Aw, fudge ya. You're being glib. You don't know the history of nonbelievers. I do.
They were never posted?, and love thy neighbour, what does it mean to you?, a motto from a communist leader who used it to meet in a gay bar with his secret lover?
Wow, this woman has a few problems. Or is into S&M. The 3 quotes from her sig:
Preach the whole counsel of God: The truth hurts.
FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES. ~ Hebrews 12:6
All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
Let me guess, you never sang "Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world," in your Sunday School. Pity, you might have learned something!
I'll take "Unrepentant Bigots" for $500, Alex.
Honestly, this person seems to have serious issues if they only accept the evil, violent parts of their religion.

Fuck me. The only good messages in the bible were the ones in the NT about loving your neighbour, and this idiot has a problem with THAT?
I know fundies who get real upset when I quote the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Guaranteed to make them curse at me. The only love I see from them is the love to hate. :(
Reminds me of the old joke -
An ancient fundie is standing in the back of a crowd, chewing on a plug and listening to a fire and brimstone sermon. The preacher says
“And all ye who fornicate are doomed!”
The old man yells “Amen, amen!”
“And all ye who drink are doomed!”
“Amen, amen!”
“And all ye who cuss are doomed!”
“Amen, amen!”
“And all ye who chew tobacco are doomed!”
With that, the old man spits and walks away, disgusted. “Now he done stopped preachin’ and started meddlin’!”
We gotta love papists and nigras? Now he done stopped preachin' and started meddlin'!
Fundies don't love anyone, not even other fundies (re: WBC & Falwell). It's all a power trip, pure and simple. Love and tolerance mean seeing yourself as equal to others, and fundies want to see themselves as superior. Gawd dominates them, they dominate sinners, everyone gets dominated. Which goes a long way to explaining their problems with sex.
Fundies make baby Jesus cry.
Usually this just makes me laugh... often so very true. But I've rarely seen it apply as well as it does here. What do these people believe their religion stands for? I mean - seriously, if Jesus time travelled to this point in the future and saw what people had done to his honest teachings, I think he'd be heartbroken.
What is wrong with these people?!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
