This is my first diary, so please be extra gentle with me. I swear I'll cry like a baby if I don't get like 200+ recs, so bear with me party people...
I occasionally traffic the craziest, fringiest corners of the Internet. In my humble opinion, it's important to understand your enemy. So I stopped by Redstate today. Now, Redstate may be milder than most, but if you look hard enough, you can find some gems. I won't link to this garbage (it's easy to find), but do you mind if I share some of my favorite bits? Of course, for your pleasure, I will also translate this gobbledygook.
Follow me below the two treble clefs making love
They’re constantly telling us what we should accept because according to them the debate is over on this and the debate is over on that. Specifically on same sex marriage Matthew Dowd over at ABC said this issue is over and that history is but an Amtrak bullet headed toward the station, and the GOP ought to reconsider standing in front of it. Excuse me, but last time I checked myself and plenty of other real Christians, and true to principle social conservatives still oppose this idea that somehow the sinner elite in this country can set as new doctrine one that corrupts the age old doctrine of the most high God. That God’s creed so sacred and blessed as he sought to unify himself with his creation called man and woman, that somehow such a divine principle is no longer above contortion.
Translation: "The Real Christian plan for a theocracy is being thwarted by those pesky gays!"
I don’t want to hear that the debate is over because I don’t agree with what these clowns are trying to impose on me and my family. If I don’t support to stank dirty men getting married, or two women getting married I’m not going to just sit down and say “Oh well, history isn’t on my side anymore, oh well, this issue is done I might as well just give in” n** please you must be crazy.
Translation: "You must be crazy thinking I'm going to stop hypocritically imposing my beliefs on others. Being gay is a lifestyle choice. A very stinky lifestyle choice."
Now I’m not suggesting that I can automatically flip people to agree with my views but at the same time to say social conservatives should just accept things they don’t support is nonsense. I accept one thing only: That God gave his only son for the sins of the human race and for my sins, therefore I accept his son as my Lord and Savior, and that no other way into the kingdom of heaven is granted but through the Son of Man Jesus Christ.
Translation: "Now I'm not suggesting that I can automatically flip people to agree with my point of view, but if they don't, they're going to hell."
Ok, one more 'cuz I'm in a rush...
You are not born homosexual because it contradicts the origin of God’s blueprint for creation. The bible says God created man in his image (Genesis 1:27), go to the book: “God created man in his own image, male and female he created them.” The book, again in Matthew 19:4, “Haven’t you read he replied, that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female?”
Translation: "Everything but perfection is a choice. You cannot be born with cancer, for instance, because it contradicts the origin of God's blueprint for design, which is God. God created man in his own image, perfect and free from disease. If only liberals paid attention in biology class."
I'm sure a much better writer could have done more with quoted material. I'm busy running some errands, but I just had to share these words of wisdom as soon as I read them. Enjoy.
