the religious right

[xanx]

You know that's cool if they have these strict conservative beliefs and all but why do they insist the rest of the world feel the same way as they do. I'm so sick of these people trying to shove their perception of right and wrong down my throat.

[The Truth Hurts]

who the fuck is forcing you to listen?

if ya don't like what they're spewing... change the channel and/or walk away.

[xanx]

I'm not talking about that,

mainly venting after going through a court system full of these far religious right people. It's like they are insisting EVERYONE thinks the way they do or they are criminals. It's truly fucked up..

[The Truth Hurts]

i hate religion.

unfortunately, the only way my kid is actually going to get an actual education around here is to put her through catholic school... and of course i get to play the bad guy when she comes home with the whole jesus and god and praying bullshit..


too bad public school is a motherfucking joke.

I could not agree more!!!

It's not a simple matter of walking away or changing the channel anymore. These people are spending major $$$ each year to put candidates into public office that will push their far right agenda. From your local politicians, all the way up to the white house. Thus, shoving it down all of our throats.

Funny thing is, alot of these so-called "religious" politicians are the biggest crooks in Washington.. ie: Tom DeLay.

I guess as long as they support the far right's agenda then turning a blind eye to the rest of the bullshit is ok with the hypocritcal idiots.

I could go on and just type up a good rant I guess, but in a nutshell.. the religious far right can go straight to hell as far as I'm concerned.

They have every right to their own beliefs and faith. Just stop trying to shove it down the throats of the rest of us.

personaly, all these religious, weak minded fucks can go fuck themselves. Hell, if it makes me a criminal to not think the way that they do, so be it. at least I don't pray to some invisible thing.. at least I'm not fucked in the head like them.

So vote for those who give a shit about your public school system.

Public education seems to work in plenty of other countries. Who fucked up yours?

[xanx]

I'm not even advocating atheism, just saying that people who base things like general policy, education, laws, or people in any kind of authority positions who uses the lords name to justify their actions are really fucked up.

Utah Theater Cancels 'Brokeback Mountain'

SALT LAKE CITY - A movie theater owned by Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller abruptly changed its screening plans and decided not to show the film "Brokeback Mountain." The film, an R-rated Western gay romance story, was supposed to open Friday at the Megaplex at Jordan Commons in Sandy, a suburb of Salt Lake City. Instead it was pulled from the schedule.

A message posted at the ticket window read: "There has been a change in booking and we will not be showing 'Brokeback Mountain.' We apologize for any inconvenience."

Cal Gunderson, manager of the Jordan Commons Megaplex, declined to comment.

The film, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, is about two cowboys who discover feelings for one another. The two eventually marry women but rekindle their relationship over the years.

The movie's distributor, Focus Features, said that hours before opening, the theater management "reneged on their licensing agreement," and refused to open the film.

Gayle Ruzicka, president of the conservative Utah Eagle Forum, said not showing the film set an example for the people of Utah.

"I just think (pulling the show) tells the young people especially that maybe there is something wrong with this show," she said.

Mike Thompson, executive director of the gay rights advocacy group Equality Utah, called it disappointing.

"It's just a shame that such a beautiful and award-winning film with so much buzz about it is not being made available to a broad Utah audience because of personal bias," he said.

So because these morons find something "wrong" with this movie they pull it.

They should just stop by the public library and burn a few books while they're at it. : /

Doesn't matter who we vote for any more.

It's beyond repair.

As for who fucked it up... it was a collaborative effort.

You're comparing a public library with a privately owned business?

[Splum]

You dumbasses without the religious right we would not make any sales.

no it's not. Republicans fucked it up, and continue to do so. I don't want to hear this 'it's all of them' bullshit, because it's not.

Conservatives are a major problem in this country, and the people who vote for them are the enablers.

[je_rome]

the city will not shut up for you. people will always impose what they want to you for as long as they can. its all up to you to get swayed or not.

[WME]

People dealing with religion try hard forcing what they beleive to others as much as they don't want to listen to others beleifs.

Well, I wouldn't mind fucking some of their heads...
But if there is a God, then he's a real devil.

Seriously.... I have few predjucies.
I have fuckall against blacks, jews, chinks, spiks or whatever.
And even if I use these kind of words, they are meant in the comic sense, and not to step on anyone.
If they don't like my way of "dialogue" well tough, I don't ask for permission from anyone.
Even if some may be offended by it, as that is not my intent.
It's my right to be stupid if I choose, and hell, sometimes extreme language is just bone funny.

The problem in freedom to be stupid, is that it's so fucking easy.
And that's my predjudice.
I believe that religious people are generally more stupid than the rest of us.

And by that I mean the RELIGIOUS! Not just the people with the "normal" attitudes that they "like" the belief and hope of life after death etc.

I believe that intelligence is difficult to proove. So I say I am stupid, but I have potential.
Potential to be really stupid.

Mind you, I don't eat pork.
Unless it has been circumsized first of course

You're right... it's those pesky republican teachers and their unions, those poor welfare-tit suckling republican immigrants flooding the schools with their litter of children making learning damn near impossible for people actually born here and able to speak English because the teachers have to stop every 10 seconds so the translators can keep Pedro, Julio, Tito, Miguel, Jesus, Carlos, Juan, and that Ukrainian guy in the corner in the loop.

Of course, I'm only speaking from my own personal experience, in the heavily republican dominated red state of Massachusetts.

religion and god don't have to be the same...plenty of spiritual people who don't follow a religion but have a belief in god

Hmm... sounds like the same sort of problems that the teachers in the heavily democrat blue state of Texas have to deal with.
