Bryan Fischer of the AFA: Kill all bears in the US to lift God's curse

[ck4829]

There seem to be three things that the AFA's Bryan Fischer just cannot tolerate: gays, Muslims, and animal attacks.

"One human being is worth more than an infinite number of grizzly bears. Another way to put it is that there is no number of live grizzlies worth one dead human being. If it’s a choice between grizzlies and humans, the grizzlies have to go. And it’s time.

God makes it clear in Scripture that deaths of people and livestock at the hands of savage beasts is a sign that the land is under a curse. The tragic thing here is that we are bringing this curse upon ourselves."

Yep, read the article if you can stomach it. The guy actually goes on about how bears need to be driven to extinction.

With Republicans in the majority in Congress, the American Family Association has the government on speed dial, just run that through your head for a second.

1. He's right. Bears are the single greatest threat to America.

Bears are soulless, godless, rampaging killing machines, and they want our honey.

And our picnic baskets.

8. I've heard most bears are gay, Muslim and vote Democratic too!

[lovemydog]

9. what a nut job

Fearful little coward, too.

[grilled onions]

11. Total Insanity

The words peace,living with all living creatures,tolerate,appreciate are just not in their fat heads' vocabulary. They seem hell bent to destroy every creature that gets in their way. Every tree that has the nerve to try and grow to a ripe old age. To any other country that wants to live by their own rules. To any person here who chooses to live their own life. It must be HELL to wake up every morning and have so much hate bubbling thru your veins.

[Blue_Tires]

12. I blame the women and their periods because bears can smell the menstruation...

Well, that's just great. You hear that, DU? Bears. Now you're putting the whole country in jeopardy...:scared:

[Sal Minella]

18. Does that mean he'll want to kill all the women too?

Or just make them stop menstruating by keeping them pregnant all the time?

[Kaleva]

21. You think outside the box.

[Codeine]

40. *groan*

:rofl: :spray:

[flvegan]

25. Did you want to come to my pants party?

[MrScorpio]

13. His hand puppets are now in control of what little brains he has

[KamaAina]

14. Somebody's bucking to be Colbert's Alpha Dog

[pgodbold]

15. OMG. nt

[sinkingfeeling]

16. Two words: Dominionist Theology.

[qazplm]

17. well they are godless killing machines

who hate America.

[Sal Minella]

19. Who, the grizzlies or the AFA people???

[LynneSin]

20. Seriously, I expected this to be a link from The Onion

Are you sure you didn't use an old link from another article and forgot the one from The Onion

:scared:

[Shallah Kali]

38. nope, sorry this guy is an influential right wing religious cleric

Lots more on him here at Right Wing Watch including his links to some of the scariest of the newly elected gop candidates: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/category/individuals/bryan-fischer

22. Mountain Lions are next!

What scripture is he talking about?

"God makes it clear in Scripture that deaths of people and livestock at the hands of savage beasts is a sign that the land is under a curse. The tragic thing here is that we are bringing this curse upon ourselves."

Huh?

[Supersedeas]

41. Bees, Spiders, Snakes, oh my!

[TexasObserver]

23. "Question: What kind of bear is best?"

This topic reminds me of the time in The Office when Jim came in dressed as Dwight, and did Dwight while talking to Dwight.

24. He must have forgotten that God liked the animals so much

that he had Noah save them instead of the humans...

[Toucano]

26. The U.S. House of Representatives is not "the government", and that's all the Republicans have.

Hyperbole really doesn't help anyone, my friend.

[ck4829]

29. I'm pretty sure it is part of a branch of the government

Unless all those civics textbooks were all lies.

[Toucano]

43. Knowing that, you could have said, "...part of the U.S. government on speed dial..."

and it wouldn't have been nearly as hyperbolic as it is.

The sky is not falling, chicken little.

[flvegan]

27. I'd hate to think of how he feels about Bush/Cheney/Rove

They're responsible for far more "people and livestock" deaths than any number of rabid bears could ever dream of.

[Dyler Turden]

28. Hey! God needs the bears to eat kids who laugh at bald men.

It says so in the OT.

[Gold Metal Flake]

30. Protected species interfere with profits.

This has nothing to do with religion, even as they wrap it up in religion as a sales tactic.

[Posteritatis]

31. Damn you, Poe's Law! (nt)

[Uncle Joe]

33. I wonder how this guy squares his belief with God's instructions to Noah?

Would he have bucked the Almighty's advice and left the predators to drown?

Why would God want to save all the animals from the flood only to have humans kill them off?:shrug:

It's just boggles the mind.

[Initech]

32. Paging Stephen Colbert!!!!

[Coventina]

34. WE'RE HERE, WE'RE QUEER! WE DON'T WANT ANYMORE BEARS!

mods, apologies if the caps violate the rules - it's a chant from a Simpson's episode.

But I guess in the case of the AFA, they would say We're NOT queer, but we don't want anymore bears!

********************************************************************************************************

on a serious note, this is sickening.

:puke:

[Initech]

39. Are these mobs getting louder or just dumber?

:rofl:

36. And all this time I

thought that elephants were the curse of God......

[okieinpain]

37. oh no see, it's more important to teach weak dems a lesson.

then to keep crazy people from driving.

[ET Awful]

42. So, when God sent two she bears to kill 42 children in the Bible, if his argument is valid

why are there still bears today? Why didn't God (who ordered the bears to kill children) also order his people to kill all the bears?


2 Kings 2:23-24:

"And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them"

[Angry Dragon]

47. Don't confuse him with parts of the Bible that doesn't support his facts

[jgraz]

44. The American Taliban in action.

These people need to just be given their own island where they can stone each other in peace.

[Angry Dragon]

45. Each day it becomes more obvious that it is time to build

large re-education camps and round up anyone
that identifies with elephants.
Allow them the chance to renounce their obedience to the
great pachyderm. A sanity test and re-education is
called for to protect them from hurting themselves.
We have to do this so they do not hurt themselves
by their heads exploding from facts.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

46. Gays, Muslims and bears, oh my!

[lightningandsnow]

48. I thought they meant "bears" as in "big happy hairy gay men".

:hide:

[Canuckistanian]

52. These yahoos probably aren't even familiar with the term

They live in their gated compounds and don't socialize with anyone outside the Golf Club or the KKK clan meetings.

[Canuckistanian]

49. So, totally wiping out one of God's creations will please Him?

I must have missed that verse in the Bible.

[sakabatou]

51. WTF?
