Today's example of Christians behaving badly

today's example comes from Sterling Heights with a twist: local Christians oppose re-zoning a 4 acre residential plot to allow it to be developed into a Mosque and Islamic cultural center. They may have legitimate concerns over traffic, noise, property values, and the like, but that's not why they're opposing it (link):
?This mosque is going to bring people like this. I do not want to be near people like this,? one resident ... said at the City Council meeting as he held up a photo of women in burkas. ?This is not humanity. ? It is not right to live with people like this. This is not acceptable at all because these people are scaring the public. And they don?t care. ? Can we prohibit this kind of public thing? We see them at the mall every day. We see them at shopping. Can we prohibit this? Can we make law against this? It?s scary and disgusting.?
?My grandfather built a house that backs up to this so-called mosque, worship, whatever it is. These guys are forcing out of this neighborhood. I have young children, they watch the news and now they?re getting scared. ? These people who are coming in are not beneficial to this area at all. Worship, no worship, whatever it may be. This facility is to store weapons, training, whatever it is.?
Picture who is saying these things... loudmouth, abrasive Italian-American bigots? local Trump supporters? The Sterling Heights Tea Party chapter?

No! This vociferously racist opposition comes from none other than those unique-to-Detroit-partystore-owning-Iraqi Christians, known as Chaldeans!

Side note: That could be a Jeff Foxworthy routine: "If you know what a Chaldean is... why then, you might just be from Metro-Detroit!"

There is a "bit" of "animosity" between these two sects. Maybe that is part of the reason for the concern. "Party-store-owning." Nice oblique racial reference on your part, by the way. I recall that certain Africans I knew in Tucson were at odds with each other because their tribes back in Africa had a long history of mutual immolation and mayhem. It carried over.
 
They all own party stores! That's not an exaggeration.

Stereotyping/generalizing about a particular ethnic group = racist. Not a particularly surprising comment or weak denial coming from the most racist and bigoted poster on these boards.

Do you own a party store?

Your defense is getting weaker with every post. You make racist and homophobic statements all the time. You're a racist. Just own it. It's actually funny considering you're always hurling completely unsubstantiated accusations of racism at others in a weak attempt to shame and silence the opposition.

nice try honky, but everyone knows where you and I really stand on this issue.

Yes - everyone knows you are a racist bigot who regularly makes expressly racist, homophobic and bigoted statements. It's also painfully obvious to everyone (except maybe a few morons) that you labeled me a racist simply because I have disagreed with your moronic (and racist) positions on certain social issues.

You're a typical liberal bully. You can't make merit based arguments or refute fact based arguments. You have an entirely unearned sense of moral superiority and shout racism in an attempt to shame and silence the opposition. I reject it and everyone who isn't a liberal bully moron like you, sees right through it.

I'll dumb it down so even you can understand.

Evidence that champ is racist:
- makes racist statements about chaldeans
- starts and regularly updates threads about his hatred of religious people
- makes bigotted statements about homosexuals, Jews and Christians
- regularly uses hate speech like fag and retard to attack people who disagree with him

Evidence that I am racist:
- disagree w/ champ

Don't you think it's funny that you deny your bigotry in the one thread that is a glaring example of your moral turpitude and your blatant bigotry? You disprove your false sense of moral superiority with a thread you created yourself. Classic chump.

The Socialist is a total racist, not to mention hypocrite. On the other hand, recent evidence suggests he might at long last be wising up.
 
SO a district court in NM ordered a mother to attend counseling sessions as part of a custody dispute. Only problem was the counseling sessions she was ordered to attend were Religious (Christian religious of course):
?I walked into the session and the very first thing she said to me was, ?I start my sessions by praying,'? Salzman said. ?When I expressed my concerns that I didn?t pray she said, ?well this is what I do? and she proceeded to say a prayer out loud.?
Salzman wondered how this did not cross the line between church and state. After that first meeting with Pepper, she says she left a message with Family Court staff, complaining about the religion. Salzman says she never heard back. She says the second session with Pepper opened with a prayer again.

She refused to go back to the counseling sessions, and the court allegedly gave her husband sole custody because of that. This is nuts... maybe there's something else going on here, but if this court REALLY did that, this judge should be drummed out of office.

When the local media confronted the counselor lady about the religious nature of her counseling sessions, she backpedaled and started blathering excuses:
Pepper said she doesn?t believe her program has religious overtones. She said Salzman was interested in religion early in their meetings and that?s why she brought it up.
?There was interested [sic] in analyzing her belief system. She asked me specifically? how do I understand spirituality, meaning and purpose and life,? Pepper said.
As for allegations of blurring the lines between church and state, Pepper said it shouldn?t matter that she mentions religion in a court-ordered program.
?I?m a private business that people decide to come through or not. The particular person there was interested in analyzing her belief system.,? she said.
Oh, and about that "private business" thing... this is apparently a knowing violation of local law, as she required cash payments under the table for the meetings, which she held at the local public library ("City policy forbids the sale of products or services on library property.")

Rent a goddamn office, cheapo.

Would be fun to be a local ACLU attorney, and cream this hanging slider out of the park.
 
Oklahoma Pre-K teacher allegedly calls being left-handed ‘evil’ and ‘sinister’

OKEMAH, Okla. -- A 4-year-old was allegedly forced by his teacher to write with his right hand, even though he’s left-handed.

The child was sent home with a letter about how left-handedness is often associated with evil and the devil.

Zayde is only 4 years old.

It's his first year at Oakes Elementary in Okemah, but his mom kept him home Monday after a dispute with his teacher over being left-handed.

Zayde, like most kids in Pre-K, is learning how to read and write. And like his mom, Alisha, Zayde is a lefty.

“From picking things up to throwing things, to batting, to writing, to just coloring you’d do at home with him, he’s always, always used his left hand,” Alisha Sands said.

That was until last week at homework time.

Alisha asked him why he was writing with his right hand, not his left.

“I just asked ‘Is there anything his teachers ever asked about his hands?’ And he raises this one and says this one’s bad,” Sands said.

Alisha sent the teacher a note and got a strong response.

It was an article calling left-handedness “unlucky,” “evil,” and “sinister.”

It even says “for example, the devil is often portrayed as left-handed.”

Alisha couldn’t believe it.

“It breaks my heart for him because someone actually believes that, believes my child is evil because he’s left handed, it’s crazy,” Sands said.

She went to the superintendent with the article.

“There was no suspension of any kind. There was basically nothing done to this teacher,” Sands says, “She told them she thought I needed literature on it.”

Zayde will likely transfer to another class just two months into the school year.

“I don’t feel like the school did what they were supposed to for him,” Sands said.

NewsChannel 4 called the school and were told the superintendent was out Monday, so they transferred us to the principal at Oakes Elementary.

She said she’s aware of the situation and the district is investigating. She hung up before we could ask any questions.

Sands is going to file a formal complaint with the Oklahoma Board of Education.

Some of my fellow Texans have done something worthy of this thread:

Texas couple accused of not teaching their home schooled kids ANYTHING because they figured they would be "raptured" sooner than later, and it was pointless. Now they've sued the school district that demanded they provide proof they've been actually educating their children.
"problems began when the dealership's co-owner and Michael's twin brother, Tracy, reported never seeing the children reading, working on math, using computers or doing much of anything educational except singing and playing instruments. He said he heard one of them say learning was unnecessary since "they were going to be raptured."
Then, the family's eldest daughter, 17-year-old Tori, ran away from home saying she wanted to return to school. She was placed in ninth grade, since officials weren't sure she could handle higher-level work."
but of course, the real issue here is:
the McIntyres say the district is biased against Christians and accuse its officials of mounting a "startling assertion of sweeping governmental power."
Obviously... I mean what else could it be?
 
The why are you still here?

You continue to make the same mistake - posting about people who are ignorant about much more than their religion.

The funny part is, atheists can be just ignorant.

Case in point.

and the funny part is, atheists are often better christians than christians.

Mistake blaming their actions on Christians behaving badly and not just ignorant people behaving badly - has almost nothing or very little to do with them being Christian.

Hope you aren't including yourself amongst that group of atheists that are often better Christians, as I would beg to differ.
