That church across the street

[electric-eye]

There is a baptist church nearby with a marquee outside and all. I've had to pass by this church every day for the last 2+ years I've lived where I currently live.

During the 2004 campaigns, they put up a message on their marquee that described the choice between candidates as a choice between the good and the wicked. Below that they advertised their series of "meetings" where "issues" like the " protecting the sanctity of marriage" were discussed. One guess as to who the "wicked" was in their message.

Tonight I noticed that same church now has rows of little white crosses on the lawn. There’s a small billboard next to that display reads something like "Each little cross represents 10 of the 2600 babies murdered every…" I didn't’t catch it all.

The marquee nearby now preaches something about God saying he "knew you before he put you in the womb."

I want to ask these people - one day, in the middle of one of their sessions, I want to just walk in and ask them how they feel about the tens of thousands of babies and children and women and men who have been murdered in Iraq for no other reason than george w. bush’s insistence that it be so. I’d say, show me Christ in that, you sanctimonious fakes. Tell me what "wicked" means to you, hollow impostors. Let's talk about right and wrong -

I fucking hate hypocrites.

1. Sneak over there some night

and put up 130 crosses on the lawn, with a sign explaining that each one represents 10 dead American soldiers. See how long that display lasts.

3. Masturbation is a serious waste of lives to them as well :-) n/t

4. Maybe they wouldn't be so mean and ornery

if they masturbated more.

5. When I lived in the states, I always reported churches w/ political

messages to the IRS.

If I saw an even remotely political message on their marquee, I called.

Not sure what good it did but I always called and complained about churches practicing politics. I do know marquees were changed a time or two...

6. Change the Marqee to read "Ye shall know them by their fruits"

Followed by,

The "Fruits" of George W. Bush:

Alcoholism, Drug Abuse, Lies, Graft, War

I'm not going to get into a discussion of weather abortion is murder, that is a hopeless discussion that neither side will end up winning. But if you want to be appalled and outraged there are plenty of more urgent matters that need our attention.

I didn't hear from the OP after that.

8. yeah, i am with you

live encircled by such churches myself, the entire town sits in for those sermons, if we confronted their hipocrasy, they'd tar and feather us, run us out of town on a rail, and say it was god's will.

10. Approximately 10 million abortions per year in China

So let's all go shopping after church and support abortions in China by filling our carts with cheap imported goods from China at Wal-Mart. And while you're there, don't forget the clothing department, where you'll find a wide choice of fashionable attire made by children in third world sweat shops.

Hypocrites, every one of them, never put their money where their mouth is. Never.
