2. Rebecca St. James is a Christian Rock musician?

I always thought she was a porn star.

Seriously. I wonder why I thought she was a porn star though...

4. I'd rather laugh with the sinners than die with the saints...
At least Britney's having fun instead of worrying walking around with a tight ass... No pun intended...

5. I'd prefer it to be Chris Rock.
He's a guy with integrity. (That's no joke. I loved his HBO specials and HBO TV Show.)

7. It May Not be "News"
but I completely understand the emotion. There are Christian rock musicians who have stayed true to their beliefs, like Larry Norman and James Ward. There are others who have compromised their beliefs. Whether you or I agree with those beliefs doesn't matter -- it's sad when someone acts in bad faith.

Britney claims to be a Christian, but her "act" is not by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe it was an act all along.

9. I'm no Britney fan, but
why even judge her? Who cares? It just seems to me this is another Christian using "moral superiority" over someone else.

10. Oh, THIS is rich
Edited on Sun May-16-04 08:04 PM by dolo amber
"St. James is not the only one hoping to keep Europeans pure this summer. Another U.S. abstinence organization "The Silver Ring Thing," which is partly funded by the U.S. government, is touring Britain and Ireland asking young people to remain chaste until marriage and to wear a ring on their finger to prove it."

What the unholy FUCK is our gov't giving money to this rubbish for??! There are people HERE w/no jobs, no healthcare, and you're gonna worry about whether British teenagers are doin' it??

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!! :nuke: :argh: :nuke:

:wtf:

13. Everything changed after 9-11, dolo amber
Edited on Sun May-16-04 10:06 PM by Rabrrrrrr
if you weren't so busy trying to destroy the Christian underpinnings that are the foundation of this country, you might have noticed that Americans died on 9-11 - American HEROS, like our fireman (and may God fry their souls, and the souls of the policement, who's unions are supporting Kerry in some unholy apocolyptic alliance the likes of which only Gloria Steinem or that traitor Hanoi Jane could equal) - in the only attack ever perpetrated on American soil. That's why our government has to fund pro-abstinence Christian rock groups and organizations to go to other countries and spread this important and essential message of love, that sex is dirty and sick unless you're married, when it's still dirty and sick but at least Almighty Jesus approves of it then, so you won't have to fear going to hell, or to jail, or being ostracized by your Christian fellowship for being a willing sinner. As a LIEberal, you couldn't possibly understand any of that, but yet you support the government giving 50% of our tax money to welfare queens who aren't even American citizens. That's why we need abstinence. Because of 9-11.

15. Oh....right
I forgot that WE were attacked; we are the ONLY country ever to be attacked, (well, unless you count those places *over there*...Towelheadland?? Who cares anyway, right?) and thus it is our God given duty to shove Jesus down the throats of everyone in the world that we previously couldn't have cared less existed. Something like that, yeah?

(You forgot to mention how sex is dirty unless you're forcing devout Muslims to simulate homosexual acts and masturbation. Y'know...then it RAWKS!!! :headbang:)

Some days, I hate everything...:grr: :cry:

16. True, I did fail to mention that using sex to humiliate is okay
Edited on Sun May-16-04 10:42 PM by Rabrrrrrr
But I wasn't writing a discourse on sex in toto, just offering that one paragraph. But you are totally correct - sex is dirty and rotten, but it's okay for married people, though should only be done for making babies and then in the dark and the woman should never,ever have an orgasm or she's jut a cheap whore, probably someone who secretly wants to be a muslim. And speaking muslims, we get to your point, that using sex to humiliate muslims - and even for good Christian American women to be exposed to Ay-rab penises - is okay and Jesus-sanctioned, as our grand leader, the one who saved us from further terra aftrer 9-11 when all those Americans were killed in the only attack ever perpetrated on our own country, has said. Since those ay-rabs live in sin, it's improtant for us to let them know that we know they live in sin, and since sex is the most sinful thing - since it's dirty and gross and evil, even between married people, but at least that is allowed by God so long as it's for pro-creation and the woman doesn't have an orgasm, as I mentioned already - it's the most effective way to let the Ay-rab muslims know how sinful they are, to make them simulate sex, until they finally equate being muslim (a sin) with sex (the greatest of all sins). it's the only path to repentance. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

And that's why it's so important for the government to support abstinence groups going to england.

14. Corporate welfare, hot diggity! I bet Carly Fiorina approves.
She's the CEO of HP who said we Americans have no god-given right to a job. :wow: May hers be the first to go, how would she like living in the streets? :shrug:

17. Well, I certainly don't think we have a God-given right to a job
I think we have a God-given right to compete on equal terms with others for a job, but there is no God-given right to have a job. Not that we shouldn't be trying to reduce unemployment, of course, but for me that's a slippery slope to say everyone has a God-given right to a job.
