[In response to a recent ammendment by the Presbyterian National Assembly permitting homosexuals to become clergy]

Oh, my eyes are watering all right, but I don't think it's for the same reason. Good grief, these people are just nuts!
OK, so according to fundies, homosexuality is a sin, right?
You know, this makes me cry too. With laughter.
"I am a gay clergyman and I'm going to enter your church, Ellie! I'm coming for YOU, Ellie, and you can't stop me! I'm going to recruit you to become a lesbian elder, Ellie! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-HA!"

Since the return of Jesus will protend the deaths and eternal punishment of most of humanity, isn't it utterly evil, and might I say "un-Christian," to pray for such a thing?
So ellie ASKS for things that will break her heart? I mean, I know that she isn't getting her prayer answered, but consider her state of mind to think of something she perceives as bad, gay clergy, and then she PRAYS for knowledge that, in her mind, would cause the creator of mankind to weep? This woman (i'm assuming she's a she I guess) is in a serious depression, and I hope she gets help. "Everything is evil, cry, cry, cry, it's almost armeggedon, cry,weep, cry, please take me jesus! Cry, bawl, weep. Holy shit, religion sure can kick a person's ass. If you need to see jesus so bad, find out when the next train gets into town and be under it. So much for the shining rays of hope and light and whatever, being close to god makes you feel like shit.
Oh yes, come Lord Jesus take me away I am too good for this sick depraved world I "deserve" to be in your presense then living on this earth with these filthy sinners all around me. Take me away I am clean and pure because of my righteousness I am not a homosexual they deserve death, I don't. Please Lord get me outta here. I am so good.
Poisoned Rationality said:"Hehe... I'm a spiritualist (read: New Ager) and bisexual. What would they think of *ME*? ;)"
That woman should learn to keep her masochism under control... BTW, could one be a fundie and a goth at the same time? The combination of the two looks like too big a disaster for such a tiny brain, but...And how would the Lord Jesus respond to this? Nothing. Zip. Nada. Because he doesn't exist!!
Not necessarily, just replace ET by Jesus in the following strip:

Redhunter, Adrian _ I think you're on to something here, but I see it as going a bit deeper; i.e., it isn't only ellie who is displaying masochism; but that sado-masochism is at the chore of the fundie mentality.
The Presbyterians are now more tolerant... just like Jesus preached (ya know, the whole 'Judge not...' spiel?)... and THAT's a sign of the End Times?
What about plagues, earthquakes, stars falling down, worldwide darkness and all the cool FX in Revelation? You've really lowered your apocalyptic standards...
But then, you post on RR. Why do I even bother?..
If you're really so keen to meet Jesus, why not give away all your worldly goods, grab a stack of Bibles and head off to the Middle East as a missionary.
Jesus will appreciate you efforts so much that I'm sure he'll call you to him 'very' quickly.
ellie(moaning): Oohhhh... oh, please come soon Lord Jesus! Oh! I can't take it!
... I'm so sorry. I just couldn't resist.
I'm curious as to whether people, you know, starving to death, losing limbs in explosions, going blind, etc. provokes a reaction anywhere near this intense. I'm betting almost certainly not.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
