I don’t need a boatload of reasons to find religion one of life’s greatest hypocrisies, but if I did need a reason, this one will do …
The Capital View Baptist Church in Washington, DC has discrimination written into its constitution.
Cuz God Hates Fags.
It seems the church was forced to turn over a copy of its constitution as part of an investigation by city authorities into its not-for-profit status and they found this:
“Every Member, Attendee and Participant at Church Events should be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity while on church premises. Hateful, harassing, intimidating, mocking behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual or group of individuals at Church Events is to be repudiated and is not considered in accord with Scripture nor the Doctrines of the Church.”
Well, that sounds nice—you know, live and let live, judge not lest ye be judged—but it goes on:
“Yet, Shaming and Shunning are acceptable Christian responses to the outward practice of any form of ungodly behavior such as sexual immorality (adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, transgender, or any attempt to change one’s sex, or disagreement with one’s biological sex, and/or engagement in any other such) described in the Bible as sinful, and are considered offensive to God and man.”
First off, in 2018 they are still equating being gay to bestiality or incest, but this church, where they preach God’s ALLEGED love, is also demanding that its members shame and shun the LGBTQ community because …
God Hates Fags.
Oh, sure, they don’t say that exactly, and they don’t wave their signs or protest funerals like the Westboro Baptist Church, but it’s the same thing.
The church naturally does not believe in same-sex marriage, saying “marriage to be a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word ‘spouse’ refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a human being husband or wife.”
Well, all I can say to the Capital View Baptist Church is this:
Go F**k Yourselves.
God, if you truly believe in Her, would be telling you that She is Love, but you’re too busy shunning, and judging, and shamming to notice.
Have a good time in Hell.
