Evangelicals Are Clear. THEY Will Continue To Persecute LGBT People No Matter What.

[TheMastersNemesis]

The evangelicals believe they will eventually be in control of US. And they will roll back all laws they disagree with. They simply will never give up forcing their views on everyone else. FU USA IS THEIR MOTTO.

We must understand we are dealing with a completely intransigent crowd. You are persecuting Christians if you dare to disagree.

1. They also want to

beat those of us who do not share their beliefs into submission. I want to say that not all religious people are evangelicals. I have many friends who identify as Christian who cringe at what these people do in the name of God. However, those who are in that crazy right wing of the Christian faith look more and more like the Taliban every day.

We have neighbors here in Oklahoma who refuse to talk to us because of our "lack of faith", it is truly amazing and scary at the same time.

16. If It Were Me I Would Do What I Could To Make Their Life Miserable.

During elections I would put out every possible Dem sign and antiChristian signs I could in my yard. And I would post pro choice signs out and fly the gay flag right in their faces. F them.

[redstatebluegirl]

27. Well the yard is full of Dem signs and they have learned that

We will argue in favor of our LGBT friends so they keep their distance.

2. Yes, we have our own version of the Taliban/ISIS. Given unbridled power, I think they would be

similar. Those obsessed with fanatical religion, power, dominance and persecution of others.

[Thinkingabout]

3. I am waiting until they realize the Christian hate towards anyone is not what Jesus taught.

This is a personal choice by those who hates, they make a very bad choice. If they are not personally ashamed then I don't know what to say. WWJD.

4. You will be waiting a very, very, very long time. (nt)

[Thinkingabout]

7. Naw, they will die out and the evolution will continue.

[erronis]

22. Evolution will continue, but our brand of racial/tribal hatred has lived on for millenia.

I'm not sure we can ever get over it without total extermination.

And then you need to look at our replacements - cockroaches/ants/etc. They all have their own species-preferences. If you aren't a good mate, you are a good meal.

5. u.s taliban

mom always felt that they wanted a christian olygarcy and dismantle the constitutianal government.

[Thinkingabout]

9. They love writing sharia laws if it applies to the "others".

[Bluenorthwest]

6. Is this shit really, really news to anyone? It's not to me.

I grow weary of the trope that says 'this just started, they used to be reasonable but now they are not'. Religious right has always been exactly like this. No different. This is how they were during Reagan and during Bush. People need to accept that. This country sat idly by while tens of thousands of Americans died for 7 years of religiously inspired silence toward AIDS. It will be very difficult for straight America to do worse than it already has.
This round is far more encouraging because more of the straight community is aware of and reacting to the issues at hand.

[Trillo]

8. Very true. Good post! NT

[heaven05]

17. You're right

nothing new. The religious right backed slavery during that particular period of american history. Backed segregation, opposed integration and the civil rights statutes. Religion is the bane of human existence.

[closeupready]

10. Oh yeah, they sure will. Too much money in hate to give it up.

I mean, if that's what your cult relies upon to get $$$ flowing in.

[99Forever]

11. Ahh, good Christians.

Ain't dey jus duh bestest?

[misterhighwasted]

12. Fine then. When they legislate against equal & civil rights so stated in..

..our US constitution, and do so as a religion, then they should have tax exempt status rescinded as well as Fed dollars to the State.

[onecaliberal]

13. These so called evangelicals

Are the same as those who beat and crucified Christ.

[world wide wally]

14. This is true of the entire right wing, ie... Teabaggers, and shouldn't be limited to

just Evangelicals. Religion is just another neocon tool

[Bluenorthwest]

15. I think you will find that the Catholic Church stands with these laws, Francis advised the Hobby

Lobby family after all. It's not just Evangelicals that attack LGBT, it's the religious right which includes the Catholic leadership not only in the United States but all over the world.
Of course on DU, some hateful religious bigots are said to be progressive heroes of the people, while others are correctly called hateful bigots. Depends on the costumes.

[jtuck004]

18. "The evangelicals believe they will eventually be in control of US." < Entirely possible. n/t

[blackspade]

19. Well I disagree with them.....

And all religious fundamentalists.
I loath them all.

[Kablooie]

20. They will fix the current prisoner execution problems too. Stoning will be the new standard.

[Zorra]

21. The US will become like Germany 1933-1945 if these deluded fascists are not prevented from

gaining power.

Whatever consciences they may have had have already been destroyed by hate.

[LynneSin]

23. Good - let their haters chalk up another $800k...

each time one of these hater's business is ruined because of their hating.

Doesn't cost much to protest these businesses - to rip off their 'white robes' and expose them to the world that they are haters. Do the teabaggers have enough money to help the haters rebuild their businesses each time one gets tanked?

[mindwalker_i]

24. I believe they have authorized us to release the lions

Got an evangelical infestation? We can help! Just call 1-800-LION_CHOW (with a silent W) and we'll take care of the rest!

[jwirr]

25. And their Dominist world view calls for them to be persecuted so they can be like Jesus. Only they

forget Jesus was not crucified because he taught people to hate each other.

In some ways we do them a favor by telling them "no" because then they think they can feel persecuted. We fulfill their idea of the end times. Anything we do to oppose them fuels their belief.

I don't know how to fight this other than to offer to bake a wedding cake for the gay couple and ignore the idiots. Fighting them has simply gotten them a half a million dollars. Ignoring them would have left them with nothing to cry about but poorer.

By the way I would bake that cake but you would not want it - I am a poor cook. But you get the idea.

26. Take your hit-and-run OPs to the religion group.
