Fundy preacher tells us not to buy Girl Scout cookies!

Screw you, "Reverend" Swanson!

Kevin Swanson Begs You Not To Buy Communist Lesbian Girl Scout Cookies

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 10/21/2013 2:30 pm

Religious Right activists have long campaigned against the Girl Scouts of the USA, and pastors Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner of Generations Radio have now joined in by urging listeners not to purchase Girl Scout cookies. “Please, I beg of you, do not buy Girl Scout cookies,” Swanson said. “Please, I beg of you, stop buying Girl Scout cookies.” But if they do, he said, they should “take a big, fat, black magic marker” and “start marking out all of the references to the Girl Scouts of America on all the boxes.” Swanson warned that the “wicked” Girl Scouts are promoting “lesbianism” and abortion, calling the cookies “food offered to idols.”

You send in the box tops from 16 boxes of the same flavor to get the goat. Sixteen just happens to be the exact number to make a pentagram.

Add a note to the package, such as:

"I did as you instructed. However, I could not resist the awesome power of goodness and consumed the contents. Does that make me a Commie Lesbian, or a Lesbian Commie. I wasn't clear on that part."

I don't know how true that is, but I don't think they ask for the balance of postage at the other end unless it's COD or something similar.

Now, maybe a package of six-hundred and sixty-six empty and flattened boxes would work just as well

The PO had no problem making us cover the difference. But maybe the fact that it DID have a return address from a reputable company make a difference.

Seriously, I think this is good news for the Girl Scouts and the world. The more people that hear this ridiculous shit -- and the more they are public ally shamed for it -- the more marginalized these lunatic hate mongers will be.

He doesn't know his Bible very well, does he?

4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world and that there is no God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords&quot , 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 7 But not everyone knows this. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do

Part of his platform was that "unrepentant homosexuals" should be stoned to death. He's seriously unbalanced, even by fundy standards.
