They are far-right political and religious extremists, and they think they represent a lot of people.<br /><br />As for their demonstration, yeah, I was pretty upset beforehand, but the community counter-protested with love, on posters and in practice. A bagpiper at Stanford played "Amazing Grace." Well done.AlisonHhttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-19797657201081431332010-01-29T21:40:47.772-08:002010-01-29T21:40:47.772-08:00What are you talking about here?

And now that group that claims to be Christian--but who utterly deny the compassion taught by Christ--have announced that they are going to picket OUR KIDS *AT* SCHOOL to tell them they're all going to hell and that they deserve the suicides of their friends for not being believers. (How the heck do they know what any kid there believes?!) After all, Californians are too tolerant of gays, right? <br /><br />And then they say they are going to picket the Jews at Stanford just because, well, hey, you know, they're Jews. (Heads-up, guys: so was Jesus. Shocking, I know. And who do you think risked their lives to write and preserve that Bible you're waving?)<br /><br />They are hate-mongerers in Limbaugh's image, trying to assert power over people in pain. <br /><br />And after thinking about it all day, all I can do is pray, Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do.<br /><br />They couldn't possibly. That would require empathy. All they own is fear. It's so sad.AlisonHhttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.com
