Or a Christian.

There are a lot of things in the bible people choose to ignore. Why should they get to call themselves Christians and not the few who accept it all, even the inconvenient parts? Those are the real Christians, if anyone is.

Even though they are morons. :roll:

Technically Christianity existed before the Bible, it was several hundred years before an agreed upon canon of accepted works and associated apocrypha were agreed upon and formed what is more or less what is commonly called the Christian Bible today. Of course even in the modern day significant variation exists between the Bibles that are utilized by the various Christian sects; Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, other smaller branches. To put things into perspective the catholic church techniclly did not formlize and finalize its version of the Bible until the Council of Trent in the 1500's. That is the quandry with using the Bible as the sole criteria as defining whether ir not a particular sect should be defined as Christian, you immediately run into the questions as to which Bible will be used as the accepted basis and what to do with all the suppressed, lost, or destroyed texts throughout the ages. This of course has absolutely nothing to do with the video but just figuired I'd point that out.

These folks are absolute nutjobs of course, but they make for great TV and thats why we keep hearing about them. They would be on Jerry Springer if that show were still on today but since it isn't the mainstream media is now in the business of satisfying the public's demand to view sideshow freaks like Phelps and company.

I feel sick after watching that. So much for tolerance.

'cause they're for killing all Swedes, duh. As if that needed an explanation :P
People talk of bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as man, so artistically cruel.
