SAN DIEGO — Miss California says a website has posted racy photos of her in an attempt to belittle her Christianity.

Carrie Prejean says photos taken of her as a teenager had been released "surreptitiously to a tabloid website that openly mocks me for my Christian faith."

In a statement, Prejean also says the attacks on her and others who "speak in defence of traditional marriage" are intolerant and offensive.

A photo of Prejean wearing only pink panties with her back turned to the camera appeared Monday on a gossip blog.

The 21-year-old Prejean was named first runner-up to Miss North Carolina in the Miss USA pageant April 19. Her response to a question about legalizing same-sex marriage may have cost her the title.

1. because prancing around on a stage

in a bathing suit doesnt...:eyes:

[MrScorpio]

2. So, her fake titties are an affont to Christ?

Yeah, I can see that

[LynneSin]

3. Actually her fake tittles are aside to Christ

those things weren't even placed on the front of her body

[MrScorpio]

4. Pieyow!

Nice zinger

[MicaelS]

13. Well so is her fake blonde hair

She's a two-fer, or would it be three-fer?

[Rambis]

5. Can't we mock her faith without the photos?

:shrug:

[LynneSin]

7. She said we should accept what God has made, what is natural-that marriage is one man, one woman...

but she couldn't accept what God made her - which seems to be a woman with brown hair and small breasts.

[Rambis]

15. Well done

that is what my fundie neighbour always says.... "natural" or "biological" I said one night well I see two male ducks shaggin down by the river daily what is that about? He claims it is " a dominance thing" and nothing to do with sex.:crazy:

[LeftyMom]

28. That seems to be the cover they finally came up with for the argument that homosexuality is natural

since we've observed it in so many different species. Apparently none of them mean it.

I also saw a post on Rapture Ready where one of the Raptards suggested that it's a sign the animals have demons in them. :eyes:

[unpossibles]

30. well, lord knows there's nothing like a good session of seeing who's dominant every now and then

I know it helps make the day that much better to work out all of those... things... or something.

[southpaw]

6. Why mock her faith?

It's her bigotry and intolerance that deserve mocking.

Of course, if she weren't a fundeigelical, she wouldn't likely be an intolerant bigot.

[asteroid2003QQ47]

36. Why NOT mock all faith, hers included?

If faith has earned anything it's mockery!

41. And what about those whose faith does not embrace violence?

It's not the religion...It's the people who use religion as an excuse to do evil things. Usually their faith does not justify such acts; but people are able to claim that it does via a perverse and twisted interpretation of their scriptures.

[asteroid2003QQ47]

42. Factoring in the unconscious tribal-agression instinct...

in the non-violent faithful of which you speak causes one to wonder how it is you became aware of these very special people.
-------------------------

Excerpt from Edward Wilson's, "On Human Nature", in which Wilson described the case of the genocide of the tasmanian Aboriginals.

The British settlers nearly completed a violent genocide on them (they hunted them like game), which caused some outcry. Then a well-intentioned Calvinist minister showed up to lead the remnant to a reservation and to teach them about Calvinism. but this abrupt revolution in their philosophies and way of life was more than they could handle spiritually, and they simply stopped reproducing and died out within one generation.
Wilson maintains that the Calvinist minister, despite the best of
CONSCIOUS intentions, UNCONSCIOUSLY was "acting under the compulsion" of another instinct-the tribal-agression instinct-and was REALLY there to finish the genocide his own kind had begun, only by politically acceptable (and therefore most effective) means.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. I've not witnessed "unconscious tribal aggression instincts" in Quakers

but their outspoken stance against nonviolence certainly freaked out our last rethuglican governor's regime.

As much as I disliked him, however, I doubt he would have resorted to wiping them out.

Without compiling a list that would be misleadingly incomplete, there are other sects of various religions who embrace non-violence.

There are also faithful individuals who are members of seemingly aggressive sects who reject their own faith's stance yet remain devout in the hope that their group may evolve beyond such thinking.

Mankind can be as decent and caring as it can be cruel and unjust. Neither religion nor the lack of it will change that.

60. "Famous" Quakers

In 1681, Penn obtained from Charles II, a grant of all the land embraced in the present State of Penn-sylvania. His purpose in this was to convert and civilize the Indians, as expressed in the charter, but also to form an asylum for those desirous of civil and religious liberty, in which the principles of Peace, as advocated by his sect, might be efficiently carried out. He soon after obtained a grant of the present State of Delaware, then called "The Territories". In September, 1682, he set sail for his new province, with a large number of emigrants of his own religious belief.

I too did not witness the above events but I certainly see the similarities and would hope that you can also.

Famous Quakers:

Herbert Hoover - 31st president of the United States

Richard Nixon - 37st president of the United States

62. So what?

Richard Nixon was not a devout Quaker, and did not use the religion as an excuse to justify the actions of his administration.

Herbert Hoover was a better man than many people here seem to realize, though his economic policies were disastrous.

Certainly there are people of every belief and non-belief who would like to convert others to their way of thinking. Your own initial comment indicates a desire to eradicate faith of all kinds, thus converting people to your belief. I don't view this "evangelization" as being the same sort of evil that led to the annihilation of so many non-Christians and non-Muslims.

At its best, evangelization can be informative and thought provoking...as I suggest your post is. Oftentimes it can be viewed as obnoxious, particularly when someone decides to interrupt my daily chores with promises of hell if I don't convert. On the other hand, when missionaries require that recipients of their aid must listen to sermons if they want to be helped, I'd characterize such behavior as tribal-aggression.

63. A man who has not made a million dollars by the age of 40...

is not much of a man.
--Herbert Hoover

Those who made their million are entitled to view Hoover as a swell guy IMO.

Me, an evangelist? Heaping well deserved abuse on religion does not an evangelist make.
As I see it, the only hope lies in humanity evolving beyond the need for imaginary gods.
Much more likely is that, in it's infancy, humanity will die a crib death.
Nothing more than a cancer on the planet, that will probably be a good thing.

64. Hoover also delivered humanitarian aid...

for the sake of doing what was right...not to engage in a photo op. Actions speak louder than words.
Was he self-contradictory at times? Who isn't?

As you see it, the only hope lies in humanity evolving beyond the need for imaginary gods.
I see no difference between that and the people who believe the only hope lies in humanity embracing some god or other.

[asteroid2003QQ47]

65. Fair enough.

:toast:

[Deep13]

55. Bigotry: religion::life: oxygen

The most basic life forms do not use oxygen, so strictly speaking it is not a precondition for life. Nevertheless, the the adaptation of life to O2 has really caused evolution to kick into overdrive. Bigotry does not need religion, but its divine justification and even requirement of that bigotry is like evolution on oxygen. Besides, any belief system based on the irrational or impossible will necessarily yield result incompatible with reality. What would we expect? They are not based on reality.

[jobycom]

8. What an unlovely person. Hatred, bigotry, hypocrisy, and now paranoia.

She mocks Christianity by twisting it into a religion of ugliness, hatred, and little minds.

[Deja Q]

32. She's as fake as her DDD-cups.

[Heidi]

9. Does anyone honestly believe she was only 16 in the photo in question?

I've seen the photo and she looks 20 or 21 in it. I personally believe she's saying she was 16 when the photo was taken in order to discourage people from posting it all over the internet.

[blondeatlast]

67. Exactly; that's one extremely well-de veloped 16 year old if she's not lying. nt

[Bombero1956]

10. if she were really 16

then wouldn't the photos be considered child porn and therefore illegal to post online?

[Heidi]

14. I don't think she was really 16 when the photos were taken,

and if she were, she was one of the most mature-looking 16 year olds I've ever seen. I think she's just saying she was 16 as a means of keeping people from posting the pics. There are plenty of websites that won't post the photo if there's even a hint that she was 16 when they were taken.

[LynneSin]

19. I've seen 13 year olds that could pass for 21

it's a matter of good makeup, hairstyle and a bit of mothernature starting her bit early

[LostinVA]

33. yes

[Deep13]

56. +1

[Deep13]

57. *dupe*

[LostinVA]

11. "When she was a teenager" -- like 18 months ago

:eyes:

Hypocrite.

[jakefrep]

12. When someone makes a big, ostentatious spectacle of their personal faith...

..it's as if they're daring people to poke around in their personal life.

[vard28]

16. I was only half paying attention when I read your subject line

I THOUGHT it said "California Peggy" blah, blah, blah

I knew she writes some pretty racy poetry every now and then, but I thought to myself that the photos were a new twist!

[realisticphish]

58. ha ha same here nt

[Deep13]

17. See, I was mocking her faith before I ever knew about this.

Once again, others are required to pay the price of her faith. Because she has a problem with gay marriage, others who do not share her views are not allowed a basic human right. Sacrifice for ones own faith is supposed to be a virtue. What do you call throwing someone else under the bus for ones faith?

[southpaw]

18. The Inquisition... the Salem Witch Trials...

[baldguy]

20. A story fit for The Onion.

[Fleshdancer]

21. She's so use to being judged for her looks....

that she can't handle being judged by her words and her actions. This makes her even more pathetic than I thought.

[seemunkee]

22. but posing for them doesn't?

[flvegan]

23. JUST as a public service, I give you Exhibit A:

[LynneSin]

25. Not only are the boobs fake but so was the hair too

Why do these bimbos ruin my hair color (and btw I'm a natural blonde). No wonder they make jokes about how stupid blondes are - it's for those bimbos who go blonde thinking somehow their life will be miraculously better.

[Sequoia]

40. Because of that old commercial: Is it true blondes have more fun?

I remember seeing hair color ads with two couples playing doubles. The women were blonde and burnette. After the game the guys cart off the laughing blonde while the brunette grasps her tennis rack in frustration.

[LeftyMom]

29. Pageants have a strange concept of attractiveness. She's got a horsey face and she's bony.

:shrug:

[Deja Q]

34. Wow. Now if only Christ would appear on a piece of toast showing His lordly erection...

Yes, I will mock this balloon-brained nitwit of a girl. Balloon. Hot air. Helium; I think her voice is funny too.

[Lucian]

35. We can always count on you to give us a visual.

:)

[elshiva]

49. I don't care how she looks she is always going to be an

asshole, until she apologizes for her homophobia. Also, why are naked pictures a mockery of anyone's faith? It's not like a crucifix in cup of urine or something... :eyes:

[edbermac]

24. Did she think that posing like that is a credit to her faith?

Next time you gets an implant, have it done from the neck up.

[Left Is Write]

45. No, no. POSING for the pictures is fine. Someone POSTING them is a mockery of her faith.

Because, you see, her faith does not teach her that the logical progression from having the pictures taken is having the pictures posted.

[skygazer]

26. I don't mock her faith - I mock her stupidity

And I despise her intolerance. My only issue with her faith is the fact that she uses it as a shield against any charge of bias, an act which I find disingenuous and cowardly in anyone. :shrug:

[TZ]

27. I saw the commercial she's featured in the other day

Where they feature her as an example of how gay marriage advocates are the REAL bigots and denying them their "religious rights" :eyes:. It was fucking disgusting. She puts herself out for bullshit like this she has to realize she's gonna have all the dirt dug up on her. So now, can't feel sorry for her...she's pretty much invited "exploitation" herself. BTW, aren't beauty pageants the very image of vanity. Isn't vanity a sin?
I would say she fits my profile of the dumb ignorant "beauty queen" to a tee.

[Deja Q]

31. Jesus, I think, would rather have people be themselves and work for the common good...

for God, ourselves, and our society.

LUST is a sin. Adding in big fake boobs surely encourages sin.

SHE IS A MUTHAFUKKIN' PHONY. No snake for her cockpit...

I've always wanted to say that...

[Deep13]

37. If lust is wrong, the fault lies with the creator who made us that way.

Just sayin'.

[LynneSin]

38. Yeah but she's already altared the way the creator made her

Seems she's naturally a small-chested brunette

[Deep13]

39. Hmm, surgery for a nondefect. Weird. nt

[Deja Q]

48. Exactly my point.

This Miss Pris person in CA thinks homosexuality is abnormal, meanwhile she has enough bleach and silicone pumped into her body to prevent the manufacture of few dozen Bridgestone tires, which are far more worthy of the silicone than she'll ever be...

[Dr. Strange]

52. Fucking best typo I've ever seen in the Lounge.

:thumbsup:

[Deja Q]

47. That wasn't the point.

Just sayin'.

[Deep13]

51. I guess I couldn't get past that premise...

...to be able to consider the point. If there are no sins, then that's an unavoidable road block to the rest of the argument. Not trying to rattle your cage, but the way you put it was not within the context of your religion, but simply "lust is a sin" as if it were a fact of nature like gravity.

[no name no slogan]

44. No, they were posted so we could ogle her round butt and fake bewbz

Amirite?

[Left Is Write]

46. It seems more flat-ish than round.

[no name no slogan]

50. Upon further inspection, you are correct

Totally got that white chick pancake butt going on. Good call.

[GOPisEvil]

53. I'm not mocking her faith. I mock her because she's a fucking hypocrite.

[Initech]

54. Thou shalt not mocketh thy false bosoms.

[MadMaddie]

59. So what I haven't heard people talking about is "Vanity"

She is a hypocrite, she wanted a bully pulpit and not have any repercussions. She like all Republicans should not get a free pass for spouting off talking points. I don't feel sorry for her she is banking on her looks to get her what she wants.

Here's a couple of passages

Man is like to.

Psalms 144:4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Ecclesiastes 2:21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

[targetpractice]

61. She deserves some cheese with that whine. n/t

[arbusto_baboso]

66. She mocks herself and just doesn't know it.

The unselfconsciously hypocritical are like that.

[blondeatlast]

68. Because the internets NEVER, EVER have a field day with laughably ridiculous utter hypocrisy,

do they?! :eyes:

[blondeatlast]
