Righties take a nose dive into crazy country: "Let's attack a teenager for saying Jesus loves you!!"

[ck4829]

Words of wisdom from Miley Cyrus:

• "Everyone deserves to love and be loved and most importantly smile."
• "Jesus loves you and your partner and wants you to know how much he cares! That's like a daddy not loving his lil boy cuz he's gay and that is wrong and very sad!
• "Like I said everyone deserves to be happy."
• "God’s greatest commandment is to love. And judging is not loving."
• "I am a Christian and I love you - gay or not - because you are no different than anyone else! We are all God's children."

How did the Christian Right respond to this?

"Such statements will send the wrong message to our children who are influenced by this teenage megastar. Parents need to realize that Cyrus is not the positive role model she was once thought to be.

Send Miley Cyrus a letter stating that you do not approve of her comments.

Clearly she is confused and does not understand the Bible. Please pray for the Lord to open her eyes to the truth."

1. that religion has to demonize in order to prop itself up as superior. seems to be working so far nt

[calico1]

2. Wow, why is Miley so hateful???

Seriously though, she is not saying anything bad.

Leave it to the righties to come up with stuff like this.

12. Love = hate

up = down

amazing. They are desperate, scared, and lashing out at every opportunity. And with each spasm, they look even more stupid.

3. I will tell my daughter that Jesus would throw up at the sight of gay people,

if that makes the wingers happy. I don't care if she thinks Jesus would have been a no-neck, pea-brained bigot like them.

4. Maybe The Lord will answer their prayers and speak to her: "Miley, I created gays for you to hate."

5. Wow. My opinion of her just went up a notch.

I'll probably stop making fun of her now. Those are good sentiments she has there.

6. One thing positive that comes from the Disney universe, and has always been part of their

message, regardless of their corporate perspective, is that

ALL PEOPLE HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS.

Most of these squeaky-clean young people, no matter how much some here may attack them for their image and almost "up-with-people" positivity, have been brought up to believe in and are living the dream of equality. Disney promotes that and the reich-wingers hate it.

7. Every time I hear right-wing evangelical Christian assholes say shit like this, it reminds me

of a great quote from Gandhi. When traveling in the West and asked by a journalist what he thought about Christianity, he replied: "I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

11. I love that quote!

Much like the thread on here that shows that those who attend church tend to approval more of torture, there is SO MUCH hypocracy from some of these people.

8. Miley's got it right- glad to read her words. the AFA is the confused

party. And that's being charitable.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. I think she understands the Bible better than anyone at AFA or anybody that listens to them.

10. Leave Miley Cyrus ALOOOOONE!!!

Actually, I really mean that. She's just a kid. I never understood 'grown-ups' cannabalizing younger people. WTF? People who attack a kid are just SAD. Grow the fuck up (to the asshats getting media attention w/their attacks on this girl, that is AND the media for giving these asshats more attention than they deserve).
