I'm not sure that the majority of denominations are against gay marriage, but maybe that's true. Still, that doesn't mean they're bigots about it.

I assume they can be against gay marriage but not have a problem with gay marriages performed by other denominations or civil marriages. Not approving of gay marriage but not being dicks about it or blowing it out of proportion.

I don't know, I live in a country with a lesbian bishop so maybe my views on the rest of the world might be a bit naive. But I was assuming the hardcore bigot anti-gay crusaders where a definitive minority even in the baptist parts of america.

The mainstream media is mainstream for a reason. Christianity has been swapped for the next dellusion and now MSM is cultivating hate in order to have people join their cause. Massmanipulation indeed. Dark magic I would call it.

Try being an atheist or Muslim, then get back to me on being hated in the media.

Not at all.. No one would ever be forcing the specific denominations to marry. It's their opposition to allow gay people to be married by anyone, eg: to have the status married.
And that's just gay marriage. There are tons of other things as well.

I'm not saying that every portrayal of christians in the main stream media is positive--sometimes they are shown in an unfavourable light.

My point is that, relative to pretty much every other identifiable group, christians are getting a pretty good deal--and to focus on your own minor grievances to the extent that you begin to lose perspective is, frankly, not very christian like.




I agree. Try being a Muslim or an atheist or Mexican or homosexual and running for president, the news would completely obliterate you. Hell, how many times did many people on the radio and on TV accuse Obama of being a "MUSLIM" and "FOREIGNER"... and he wasn't even a Muslim, he was just a Christian black guy! :lolsy:

Not all churches do this though. And there are plenty of non-religious groups doing the same thing. Yes there are plenty of christians spreading love, and there a lot spreading hate. You cannot really lump all christians into one group


And if you are a christian than yes, you are following something blindly just because some human tells you it is so, because he read a book that some other humans wrote thousands of years ago. Mormons are nice people too, and yet they believe in some really stupid shit.

If you should blame anyone for generalizing, it would be those that need to identify themselves in a group..

MACON, GA—Sources confirmed today that the brainwashed morons at First Baptist Assembly of Christ, all of whom blindly accept whatever simplistic fairy tales are fed to them, volunteer each Wednesday night to provide meals to impoverished members of the community. “Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in town who have fallen on hard times and are unable to afford to put food on the table, so we try to help out as best we can,” said 48-year-old Kerri Bellamy, one of the mindless sheep who adheres to a backward ideology and is incapable of thinking for herself, while spooning out homemade shepherd’s pie to a line of poor and homeless individuals. “It feels great to share our blessings with the less fortunate. Plus, it’s fun to work alongside all the members of our [corrupt institution of propaganda and lies] who come out each week.” As of press time, the brainless, unthinking lemmings had donated winter clothing they no longer wore to several needy families and still hadn’t opened their eyes to reality.




Satirical article on the unfairness with which the mass media has been treating Christians lately.



What do you think?




Not every satirical fake news article is targeted primarily at shortcomings of real news reporting. The specific attitudes they are satirizing in this case definitely are common in some circles, but they do not predominate in mainstream news that I've seen.

i don't think it's the mainstream media as much as it is the fedora-wearing "brights" who seek to demonize all religious people.

The Christians don't cut your head off for making fun of their religion.  Makes them a convenient target for brainless idiots to criticize.

They are too afraid to say shit about Muhammed.  And the media think they are the "brights".  Unelected, self appointed arbiters of the culture and all that is right and good simply because they have been given media space by others of their fatuous, arrogant ilk.  I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

Politically allowed groups to criticize as per the Columbia School of Journalism poseurs.

1.  Christians and Jews  (Oh yeah, Mormons too because they are just too Caucasian even if they are a minority)
2.  Caucasians
3.  Heterosexual men
4.  Successful people

If by brights, you are referring to atheists, skeptical inquirer magazine was the only publication in the US to print the Muhammed cartoons.

Yeah I think that was more the idea. Some members here echo similar sentiments regularly but I've never once heard them on the news. The Onion often builds articles around statements one might overhear casually in conversation. The fact that it (always) takes the format of a news article does not necessarily mean that news reporting is what is being examined.
