A nation has reached its most sinful state when acts of profound immorality occur without being noticed. Hardly a day goes by when I don't find examples of how this reality applies to our generation.
A few days ago I ran across a news article that read, "Jesse Tyler Ferguson's husband Justin Mikita won't be charged in a deadly crash that occurred back in November 2014." The story was about the husband of a Hollywood actor who was involved in a car wreck where someone in another vehicle died. The article didn't bother to mention that the actor involved is in a homosexual relationship.
[...]
What set us on this path of sin becoming a seemingly irreversible commonality is the death of the Christian apologists in America. Back in the 1980s, there were dozens of ministries that specialized in shining the light of truth on errors in the church and the nation. People cared because if you became a target of moral watchdogs, your career or business could be severely impacted.

"The article didn't bother to mention that the actor involved is in a homosexual relationship."
Because only a gay-sex obsessed fundie would find it relevant.

You mean the same 1980's where cocaine was easier to get than aspirin, record stores also often doubled as drug paraphernalia shops, newsstands and video stores had backrooms where the hard-core porn could be found, it was almost compulsory for a woman to have a gay man for a best friend, androgyny was the fashion, and everyone knew it & no one cared? Those 80's? Those so-called "moral watchdogs" were laughed at just as much then as they are now.

"Why isn't everyone as obsessed as me?!"
"The article didn't bother to mention that the actor involved is in a homosexual relationship."
Wow! The article failed to provide useless, irrelevant information. How UNfundy-like!
Wonder how Todd would react to this:
"Did you experience video rental stores in their heyday back in the 80s and 90s? Well, imagine a chain of stores like that, renting out sex toys. That's what's opening in not long!"
Wow, who ever would have omitted the really, REALLY important fact of the sexual conduct of a participant in a fatal car crash? Well, almost EVERYONE else on the planet, that's who, unless he was driving in the middle of a sex act.
The article didn't bother to mention that the actor involved is in a homosexual relationship.
Probably because it wasn't relevant to the story for one, and secondly, any time a gay celebrity's sexuality is mentioned you fundie Christian homophobes go nuts over "homosexuality being forced down our throats."
The article didn't bother to mention that the actor involved is in a homosexual relationship.
Unless he was being blown by a dude while driving which caused him to crash that has literally nothing to do with fucking anything.
Maybe we should go into length on who works on weekends, eats pork and shellfish, or never changes the roll of toilet paper in every news story? Would that satisfy you?
"The article didn't bother to mention that the actor involved is in a homosexual relationship."
'Cos forget the fact that somebody's dead, there are people out there different than you and that's awful.
Judging by the callous and insane cruelty practiced by the Romans,
1. We have a long way to go yet.
Oh right, killing and savagery doesn't bother you, only sex. Never mind, but enjoy the wait anyway. You might want to look up the definition of, "reality" while you're waiting.

Damn right, it can. Does this look like a man to anyone here?image
The article didn't bother to mention that the actor involved is in a homosexual relationship.
It probably didn't bother to mention whether he was left-handed or liked sushi, either. Most of us don't give a rat's butt.

Back in the 1980s, there were dozens of ministries that specialized in sticking their hate-filled, judgmental, holier-than-thou noses into other peoples' business and telling other people what they wanted people to do, and then saying it was God's idea. There still are.
It wasn't mentioned because
1. T3h g3igh is no longer a bogeyman like it was beforeThere was a fucking car crash!
Why don't you change your handle to Vulturehuts? Then you can join your friend Buzzardhuts, aka Buggerbutts, and commiserate in your own proselytising.
Because it was irrelevant to the story dipshit. If the driver was Christian, Muslim, Pagan, atheist, black, white, or anything else is goddamn irrelevant to the fucking accident. Only you wpuld be interested in his sexuality
You mean "moral watchdogs" like Jim Bakker, Creflo Dollar, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart, Pat Robertson, Robert Tilton, Billy James Hargis, W.V Grant, Jerry Fawell, Paul Crouch, and Ted Haggard?
Jesse Tyler and Justin are both (generally) male names, so we don't need to be toldp they are in a same sex relationship in an article about a car crash. Not to mention a Google search confirms the sex of any particular Jesse.
Do fundies not have simple deduction skills?
"The article didn't bother to mention that the actor involved is in a homosexual relationship." - Because it really doesn't matter. Or are you saying that the person should only get off the hook if he were straight? ...No, wait, why do you think it's worse that the guy was a homosexual and not that somebody actually died? Man, you guys really can't get your priorities straighto. You guys really think your selfish, antiquated bigotry is worth more than an innocent's life!? And then you're surprised people hate you...
"Back in the 1980s, there were dozens of ministries that specialized in shining the light of truth on errors in the church and the nation. People cared because if you became a target of moral watchdogs, your career or business could be severely impacted." - Well, aside from the fact that there are still jerks like that walking around, trying to force their holier than thou bigoted, racist crap down people's throaths, it's probably lessened because people got tired of that crap. If it were up to you bigoted assholes, you would cause an innocent candy shop to go out of business merely because they "dared" to sell candy to a kid who's cousin's friend is muslim.
He's not bothering to mention he's talking about the Moral Majority movement that fell apart as one by one the fraudulent lifestyles of it's inner circle of corrupt, in it only for the money and power, leadership became more apparent.
It's why these groups have splintered off as indeed religion in Americas history has, ever more denominations and "Moral" groups separating themselves from the past as much as they can.
It's kinda an analog of the Tea-Party, the crowds grew for awhile but then the flocks started noticing the hypocrisy on the stage, month by month were let down and used by their leaders, their idols, when they replaced them they quickly showed themselves to be just as untrustworthy and self-serving as those cashing in before. The misspelt signs, the sound-bites of stupidity, racism and paranoia built up too much.
Now they seldom show the events as the crowds are thinning big time. American masses aren't so much mostly dumb as slow, they take years to notice something and by the time they do the fox owns the chicken-coop.
Nowadays it's becoming a target of human rights watchdogs that might get your career or business severely impacted.
Sure, Jesse Tyler can be both male and female, but it sounds more male than female to me.
And in those 80s, like now, nobody gave a damn to their sermons, fell from grace due to their hypocrisy and said exactly the same about the fifties

...whereas now in 21st Century Soviet America...:

...moral watchdogs are targeted by you
Now in the 21st Century: Ted Faggard? Nobody cares. >:D

All those great guys like Jimmy Swaggert, Jim Bakker, Oral Roberts, Peter Popoff. We even have nowadays heroes of the faith like Ted Haggard out there fighting the good fight.
While you're getting upset about Gay guys, type " Pastor sexually assaults " or "Pastor pedophile"
I'm sure you have a happy rational for those everyday stories.
