I know a gay guy who goes to a Unitarian church. Why? Because they don't judge. It's as if he went to a real Christian church, he thinks he'll be run out of the place with torches and pitchforks.

Not all Unitarians are Christians, as a matter of fact, if I had to go to church, I think I'd elect to put at a unitarian place, they're pretty chill.

WELL GEE I WONDER WHY THE FUCK THAT IS?
It's times like this that I love being a UU, the church that says whoever you are, we welcome you.
@ Aubrey
It's true, their are Atheist UU's as well as Christian, Jewish, Muslem, Buddhist, Humanist, Pagen, Etc.
so by real christian, you mean catholics, who existed before the protestant reform (not that protestants aren't christians, because they are, but catholics were first), because last time i checked, we catholics are tolerant of homosexual individuals in general, but just don't allow them to get married in the church, because some idiot in the bible tried to marry a goat, which led to the whole man and woman marriage rule.
Are the torches and pitchforks supplied at the church, or are they brought from home?
And if you don't actually deal with hay, can you bring a weed whacker or hedge trimmer?
Lisa: Doesn't the bible say, "Judge not, lest ye be judged?"
Rev. Lovejoy: I think it may be somewhere towards the back...
While I agree that the RR idiots would probably run a gay guy out of their church with torches and pitchforks, I don't appreciate the comments saying that any specifically Christian church would act in the same manner. Most Christians are sane and tolerant, including the ones with whom I'm close friends.
Thanks, Captain Obvious. It shows the depth to which the bigotry in your church runs. Otherwise, there is no point in this post so I'm rating it down since its not very fundie (too obvious) and not funny either.
Matt. 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged."
John 8:7 "So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
But obviously a "true follower of christ" in the eyes of christian fundamentalist is rather someone who segregates people who don´t adhere to old testament moral laws and not someone who tries to bridge differences, forgive sinners and tries bring people together
Well, there are "real" Christian churches that accept gay members (Episcopalians, Old Catholics, United Church of Christ).
Aubrey: "I've actually heard that there are atheists who are UU members!"
Why. yes, I am. Thank you for noticing.
a) Explain in detail and showing your work, why your church is a 'real church' and the Unitarian church isn't.
b) You mean he wouldn't? Forgive me if I think that's a full-of-shit sentiment.
Because he probably would because people who think they, above all others, are so called real christians think they are judge and jury and have no qualms about tearing other people apart.
So, you're right. Only, not in the way you think you are.
It's almost like they think that old, out-dated parable has bearing...y'know, "Judge not lest ye be judged..." Oh, that wacky hippie...he had a bunch of out dated ideals, like "love thy neighbor as thyself" and stuff like that. I mean WHAT was he thinking?

- Not unknown. And again a version of the Pharisees Prayer: I thank you Lord that I am not like the rest of men, sinners...etc.
Selfrighteous prat.
And BTW, aren't you forbidden, biblically, to know another man?
Well you just go tell this gay guy you know who totally isn't you by proxy that this is the 21st Century, and Real Christians (TM) don't chase people with torches and pitchforks anymore.
Now they got flamethrowers and chainsaws.
What if this "gay guy" showed up on rapture ready, identified himself as a "gay guy" and made a credible argument that his being gay had no impact on God's love for him or his potential salvation?
Metaphorically speaking you people wouldn't be able to light the torches and grab the pitchforks fast enough! Unmetaphorically speaking, you would ban him immediately. Then, after he was gone, you would pat each other on the back and post an ongoing stream of condescending sighs about how deluded that poor, hell-bound fool was, and how he could be cured of being a "sodomite" if he would only give his life to Christ.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
