American Family Association Pins SeaWorld Death On Lack Of Christianity: ‘Bible Ignored, Trainer Die

[Joanne98]

Last week, a 12,000-pound SeaWorld Orlando orca killed trainer Dawn Brancheau while she swam in the tank. The orca, named Tilikum, had been involved in violent episodes in the past, including an incident in 1991 when “Tilikum and two female killer whales dragged trainer Keltie Byrne underwater, drowning her in front of spectators at Sealand of the Pacific, a defunct aquarium in Victoria, British Columbia.” Tilikum also seemed to be involved in the death of a man who snuck into the orca’s pool in 1999.

The American Family Association, the powerful right-wing Christian political organization, blogged that, “If the counsel of the Judeo-Christian tradition had been followed,” Beancheau would have never died. AFA blogger Bryan Fischer reasoned that according to Exodus, an animal like Tilikum should have been stoned back in 1991, and if biblical law were to be followed, the owners of Tilikum should be put to death

The "owners" of Tilikum are Seaworld aka The Blackstone Group.....


SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment (abbreviated SeaWorld) is a family entertainment company owned by The Blackstone Group. SeaWorld is responsible for the operation and maintenance of ten theme parks located throughout the United States. Formerly a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev, under which it was known as Busch Entertainment Corporation,<2> SeaWorld Parks is headquartered in unincorporated Orange County, Florida,<3> near Orlando.<2>

This is a perfect example of why American Christians are heretics. They refuse to update the bible to include CORPORATE crimes.

The INVESTORS are the owners. Go tell them about it!

But NO they won't because they'd rather blame everything on "personal responsiblity" with in the modern world of finance barely exists anymore.

IT'S THE SHAREHOLDERS STUPID!

6. the AFA doesn't realize that they're in the wrong party then, because the Repig party is allll about

corporate profit over what's wholesome.... but then again, the AFA thinks that two people loving one another is not wholesome when it's two ladies who fall in love, or two men who are blessed with love - so their own damned corporation needs to have done to it whatever they're calling to be done to the owners of the killer whale.

sick stupid F*(ks... they are such a blight on loving Christians. I'm soooo glad that many Christians speak out against these nutjobs groups nowadays. Didn't used to be like that.

AFA - you're of the devil!

7. GOD, they are STUPID.

Why they are allowed to say ANYTHING, and why ANY media report this at all is beyond me. They are gibbering idiots.

9. Job 41:1-10 is more apt here

Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

10. The author of the garbage is a former Idahoan

A religiously insane, anti-abortion, anti-gay zealot who finally left the state for bigger and better audiences for his projectile vomiting.

And that was being as nice as I can.
