Christian organizations are nothing but bullies

Many sites like www.afa.net and it's affiliates do nothing but complain about the content of TV shows and petition companies to pull funding from such programs as "It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia", "The Shield", and "Saving Grace" by threatening them with boycotts. They also are actively boycotting Ford for funding gay parades (I don't agree with gay parades, but boycotting them outright is a little extreme). They also threatened to boycott Wal Mart for carrying Brokeback Mountain. They speak of nothing but outrage and spend every ounce of energy trying to install a V-chip in the United States.

Discuss.

You can judge a religion by it's members.

Well, that may not be entirely true. There are Christians who are just as offended at their bullying as I am. Upon review, "Christian Organizations" was a bit too broad. However, when people think Christianity, nowadays... they think of people like this.

Then other Christians should speak out against these people and for these programs and the freedom of speech. As for the groups that preach shit like that, I hope they all **** off and get a freaking life, bunch of retards.

Shrug; almost every aspect of life has some sort of group like this.

Just so happens that theology is a lot more offense, I suppose, because they tell you that you will go to hell and never return

They must be stopped. They do these things because of how they were taught of the Bible. So to stop--prevent this, we stop that form of teaching the Bible (or the Bible altogether) and this won't happen.

Yeah, now we need a practical to halt bias in theology, politics, education and so on...

Edit: I say use guns. All the motivation you need is a muzzle to the noggin. 😮‍💨

Before me and my wife could get married in a Catholic church we had to do the marriage training thing they required and take a test, the funny thing is I scored higher on it than my wife. Guess I’m the first Catholic/Atheist 😆

They let you do it even though you are an atheist? 😕 Did they have a problem with your belief?

Maybe not Christianity all together, but silence is compliance.

Why not blame the bible or religion? If a religion cannot give it's people the tools to be smarter, then the religion is to blame.

It does give stupid people the tools to be smarter, but the stupid people choose not to use them, or use them wrong, because they're stupid. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it.

I disagree. I used to be a Christian and I am now a Buddhist. Christianity gave me no tools to deal with life and people in a human and loving way (or very little, treat others like you would like to be treated is about it). Buddhism on the other hand, is all about taking responsibility, and self responsibility leads to happiness; a happy person will treat other people with love. I truly believe if a religion is a good religion, then the people within the religion would also be good.

We are talking about manipulators getting to people who have not been exposed to anything else. How does that make them stupid?

The manipulators are the stupid ones.

Statement: Clearly, all Christian organizations are little more than bullies.

Query: What would Bardiel13 say about an organization that repeatedly took others to court on the basis that the others offended the organization--would this be bullying?

So who are the smart ones?

Could you rephrase your query? And read my second post in this thread.
