Can somebody please tell me why anyone is still talking about the fucking Phil Robertson, A&E, Cracker Barrel, non issue? Are you kidding me? Does your life suck that bad that you need to try to deflect some energy onto PR, A&E, or Cracker Barrel? It's done... Find another cause, you wing nuts!
Okay, its Christmas and this is not going to come out sounding too Christian.
I actually had a guy (who will remain nameless, until he starts talking shit around here) that asked me what I thought about the whole thing. So, I played stupid to see which non issue facet of the thing he wanted to discuss.
"Religion"..... "How nice, being its Christmas and all", I thought. The guy says, "how dare A&E go after this mans religion!". I had to inquire, being the guy I am. "How did they go after his religion?" This guy went on to say that by them suspending PR, that was a direct attack on his Christianity.
What is all of the paranoia about people? In no way, shape or form was this mans religion attacked and you're an asshole if you think it was! PR said something that a "boss" disagreed with and probably thought went against "corporate policy". And if you'll remember back to another post I made, I said I would not be surprised if this all was some kind of a "public relations" stunt. Every bat shit crazy Christian started buying duck calls to support Phil Robertson... fact of the matter is, not only does that benefit the Robertson Clan, it also has A&E written all over it. "Duck Commander" is one thing... The "Duck Dynasty" is another.
I've got no problem with anyone's beliefs, but you crazy ass "Christians" are fucking nuts. We are talking about a family that makes duck calls, is Christian, and you think their/your religion is at stake here? You've got to be shitting me, down both legs! This is your "Almighty God"! He has to be more powerful than A&E and Cracker Barrel, doesn't he? If not, start praying to the bingo caller at the Elks Club for shits sake.
People, take a breath and get a grip on yourself. Your religion is your religion all day long and twice on Christmas. Nobody can take that away from you! Those are your beliefs and you can hold on to them as long as you want. "Cradle to grave says you?" Why the fuck not!!! This is America! And you know what? Maybe its just me, and maybe I am just mad over all of the false cries.... but I don't hear Phil Robertson crying about his religious rights being infringed upon! He's smart enough to know better. He has come out and said he won't change his opinion, and that is his right.... Phil Robertson is okay, y'all. Phil, Miss Kay and all of them are all right all night and their God didn't turn their back on them, so back your dumb ass up! THIS IS NOT A RELIGIOUS ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have got to quit clamping down on "none issues" in this country. A fucking "reality show" is going to be our beacon of hope? No fucking wonder those idiots on "Jersey Shore" are millionaires!!!! We made those clowns!!!!!! .(I like Duck Dynasty, but why in the hell did anyone pay the bags of nothing on Jersey Shore any attention?)
This is where we are as a nation, eh? No wonder why the country is so divided! Somehow, someway... we started letting "reality shows" be the nations "true north" or guiding light. The nations kids idolize people like Snookie who somehow got paid to do what she did... they idolize drug dealers... they idolize complete degenerates. Parents don't spend time with their kids. Kids don't want to spend time with their parents. This is a fucking mess, people! And it doesn't have a fucking thing to do with religion.
So many people claim to be "Christians" and then spend all of their time judging people and in the mean time run around acting as weird as a whore in church. They feel the good news is, they can repent on Sunday and all is forgiven! Bullshit! Why don't you try to live like a Christian... like Phil Robertson! Why don't you love all people? For shits sake... being black used to be an issue and we are running around now pretending shit didn't happen. (It did, and it is time to let go for those holding on to that shit too... this is a different time and place and its out job to make it a better time and place.) Don't shun gays. Don't be afraid of gays... they aren't out for your religion. Accept all people as people! That is the bottom line. If you are going to be a Christian, act like it and treat people as humans. Keep their sexuality out of the equation. It's not for your ass to lay judgement. That shit is the "O. G's" job.
We used to be a nation that did the right shit 99% of the time, just because. Morals are taught in homes that aren't Christian homes because everyone wants the same shot as their neighbor. You've got that! But you have to focus on that and you have to act like a fair fucking human being in the process!!!
Yeah, Phil Robertson's religious rights are being taken like mine are regarding free speech. Wake the fuck people. We are better than this. We used to be, anyhow.
I once told someone who refused to read the Harry Potter books because they were a threat to Christianity that IMO an 11-year old fictional character in a children's book was no match for my 3,000 year old religion and that it said much about her own faith that she thought it was. Shuterthefuckup...know what I mean?
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean? Shit, I'll give you an amen! If one perceives a series of fiction about an 11 year old "a threat to Christianity", it says nothing of this persons faith!
DeleteI'm worn out on people saying that "Christianity is under attack". No it's not. People have different view points and are allowed to voice them. If you feel that is an attack, you've got no faith in your religion and you'd better start taking your ass to church a bit more often.
I'm not a Christian, but I hold the right to change my mind. Something profound may happen and facilitate that change. I don't know... but I do know that my right to believe or not believe is not under attack. Some people have said that they are "scared for me", but again, those are the people who feel their religion is under attack. I fear for them.
