What the Duck is going on in the world today?!?!?!
What the Duck is going on in the world today?!?!?!
The Christian Dynasty is losing there mind today… All I am hearing is a LOT of Quacking in my facebook and twitter feed today. FULL of opinions about miss lead facts, complaints, threats and demands (to A&E or family)
We just got done with our “30 days of thankfulness” and now we are in the Christmas giving season… giving because a gift has been given to us… so are we focused on our water problem in this world? The number of children in our foster care system? The homeless effected by this cold weather?
NO… hahaha…. We are upset that Phil Robertson is being PERSECUTED!!! The man behind Americas # 1 reality show is being held hostage by A & E (Those Bible haters) For freedom of speech? Wait what? But I thought that is what this was all about…
Suspended… WHAT? Indefinitely?… like forever… for- ever -ever…. NOOOOOO
No one is denying him his right to free speech. He had every right to say what he said, and he said it. Now, he is a public figure and was made so by A&E, the organization who pays his salary. If his personal views don’t represent the values A&E wishes to promote, do they not have every right to terminate his employment? That’s how it’s supposed to work right?
Maybe?
What Phil said has been described as “hateful,” “anti-gay,” and “racist” I wonder how stressed Phil is about this.
So what did he say?
“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”
“I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash. We’re going across the field…. They’re singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!… Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.”
And the most heated topic…. Why vagina is better than anuses…
“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”
So the out cry… I saw this today… “Quick question. Aren’t christians supposed to embody tolerance?”
It seems to me that some people who talk the most about tolerance are the most intolerant toward anyone who dares to disagree with their views.
As Christians, we are not wanting to force our views on anyone. The fact is, we are, as a whole, tolerant of other people’s choices, even if we don’t agree with them. But what is being asked of us is not tolerance, but acceptance and endorsement of sin.
We cannot do that.
Our job is not to change people but to love them… in the same way I do not have to accept your decisions…
Christ cares about those who are offended by Phil’s speech. It doesn’t matter that he was not trying to hurt others by his comments… what matters is they where hurt, and you cant tell someone it did not offend them when it did…
What you can do is Calm down… you can have a conversation in love about both sides… and speak truth in love!
So PLEASE stop the threats and freedom of speech talk… we all get it… but those who don’t get it… don’t miss an opportunity because you feel “wronged”
