Republicans Hate Jesus & Freeper Lurkers Spread Vicious Lies on DU [View All]

[tmorelli415]

Republicans are the Pharisees of our times. Democrats do now and have always respected the sanctity of religion (all religions), and its powerful role in society and personal life. We also respect a person's right to religious freedom because we know that freedom can only be guaranteed when government is completely neutral in respect to faith.

They know this and that is why they sneak around on DU and try to create phony posts so they can try to make Democrats look hostile to Christianity. Christ had some pretty strong words to say about those who would use his name to divide us:

"Whoever does not gather with me scatters. Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemey will be forgiven, but he who blasphemes against the Spirit will never be forgiven and is guilty of an everlasting sin." Mark 3:28-29

But they want YOU and everyone else to believe that we are hostile to religion. and Christianity specifically. Or that we are not people of faith. I've had all I'm going to take of these lies.

Let me be clear: a vast majority of Democrats - including me - are people of deep faith. And most of us are Judeo-Christian just like the rest of America, but we respect and welcome all faiths (or those with no religion at all).

And the God we worship in Blue states is a God we worship because we want to, not because we have to. And not because a bunch of lunatic radical religous whackos have taken over our party and made it 'fashionable' to wear religion on our shirt sleeves - our faith is quiet, personal and profound. Ours is a faith of actions and not empty words.

And real Democrats would NEVER make loud and offensive public pronouncements attacking and ridiculing the things others find sacred. These posts are nothing but Lurker-manufactured hate speech. They DO NOT represent how Democrats feel, and I for one will NOT continue to take a pass when I see them.

Christ told us how to spot these people:

"At that time Jesus said to the disciples, 'Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? ... Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits you wil know them.'" Matt 7:16-21

Sound like anyone you know?

Shall we make a list of the fruits of Republican rule? The fruits of the various mystery posts that pop up on DU from the same list of known lurkers? How about we just count as their fruits the 1,800 dead American soldiers from this Republican war in Iraq?

Or even the aborted children that they claim to so fervently want to save, but have done aboslutely nothing toward their goals even after having complete control of the government for 5 years now? A fruit that is a better political tool than a solved problem, perhaps?

Or perhaps the 100,000 dead Iraqi children or the naked piles of Iraqi prisoners tortured by their cronies? Or maybe the divorce rate in Red states that far outpaces the Blue states? Or perhaps even the teenage pregnancy rate in Red states that is higher than Blue states and growing just like the number of abortions under their illustrious president?

Are those enough fruits, or are gay men and women the only 'froots' they are concerned about as they picket funerals of gay soldiers and shout slogans that are an affront to God's promise of love and mercy and forgiveness?

Or perhaps their fruits are the massive deficits that cripple our economy, take money from our pockets and destroy our environment? Perhaps their God is money instead of Jesus Christ, and their fruits are ethical scandals and the tears of grieving mothers (WE LOVE YOU, CINDY!)?

Then again, maybe their fruits are the countless deliberately false statements, manipulated intelligence and deceptions that took our country to war based on a pack of lies?

How sad that these hypocrites come to DU and use Christ as a tool to spread lies and manufacture controversy. Need I say more?

You're a sick bastard, buddy. Take your twisted religious vendetta against Democrats someplace else - I can deal with your other posts but this is over the line.

I'll say a prayer for you.
