I am at a loss for words. “Backwards, evil asshole” just doesn’t quite cover this.

No, but it’s a good start. I guess he doesn’t think it’s a “sin” to be a vile, hateful prick who wishes suffering and death on others, huh?

I know you’re an atheist and probably won’t agree with me, but I don’t think it’s religion that makes these people like this—it’s just something they use as an excuse—it’s comes from inside them, not from any external source. If they didn’t have religion, they’d invent something similar to it so that they could point to it as a valid basis for feeling superior and behaving with such cruel nastiness.

Oh, I absolutely agree. Also, not sure if atheist is the right word for what I am. I just don’t believe in any religion. Agnostic? Deist? I dunno.

I like that fags cant procreate.

They actually can, but whatever. I can see what he’s getting at, and for the record, every homosexual I’ve known is the product of two heterosexual parents. So, LOL.

That’s pretty vile. If you can say that and still remain a school board member then I do NOT want to visit that part of the country.

I didn’t know Michael Savage was a member of the Arkansas School Board.

re: #2 Slumbering Behemoth

Oops, my mistake—I’m not sure where I got the idea you’re an atheist. My dad was like you (I think). He was raised Protestant, but later (by the time I came around) in life just believed there was a God/higher power and that was it.

Great post! This really should be a thread in its own right I think.

This guy is a school board official? This is vile for anyone of course.

Okay, I’m taking gentlemen’s bets here but who wants to bet if he’s fired he claims discrimatiion against his religious beliefs.

It’s not the state as a whole. It’s a district that thinks such insults should be allowed. Which means the district is either full of fanatics or assholes, because that statement is “Pitchfork Ben” Tilden level bad.

re: #13 HappyWarrior

There should be no “if” about it, but I’m not too optimistic. I don’t exactly see the rest of the board and the community calling for his head.

That sir would be a sucker bet. People like that yearn to be imaginary martyrs fed to imaginary lions by imaginary Romans.

Consider the implications of what you just said. I stand by what I said. In no civilized state would there be such a county.

I had to go to Arkansas for business, a couple of times, it was a shock to me.
I’m now having to conduct some business in West Virginia. NOTHING would shock me from West Virginia.

I am positive that there are decent, well educated people everywhere.
I am also positive that there are crazies, everywhere.
I think the crazies just get to the surface, more, in a smaller population.

I promise not to tell the Clintons what you just said, in exchange for three home cooked dinners and a case of Guinness.

Clear case of Bravo Sierra. If the voters of that school district don’t toss this a-hole out at the next opportunity, that district will officially become a Charlie Fox.

Don’t sweat it, CL. It’s not like you spit it at me like some kind of epithet.

Thanks a bunch for linking that. I incorporated it into an update to this thread. With a hat tip to you, of course. :)

Excellent update.

Wouldn’t have been possible without Locker’s input. Give that Lizard a high five the next time you see his/her scaly butt.

With Focus On The Family taking up his cause, pro bono of course. A mere pittance to them.

Orgs like that get skads of money to throw at causes like this by drumming up outrage and hatred over such issues, and suckering the flock into sending them their wealth. I think it’s high time to remove tax exempt status from orgs that throw their hats into such rings.

Sounds like you’re saying he was born a homophobic bigot. I don’t agree. People have to be taught this kind of vileness, and the most pervasive influence in forming young minds, in America at least, is religion. I’m not saying that the mainstream interpretations are homophobic, or that he couldn’t have picked up these attitudes in an atheist family/environment, but the fundamentalist wings of the Big 3 monotheisms should carry a public health warning.

When it comes to Nature vs Nurture, I favour Nurture by a huge margin.

Honestly, because FotF’s soul agenda seems to be putting down gay and lesbian citizens and others who don’t share their backwards world view I would have no objection to that. They use religion as a cover for bigotry.

There should be a second opportunity to upding for the update. Nice writing.

I don’t think that’s what she meant. The point I took away from her post is that absent their chosen faith, people like McCance would simply find other justifications for their hatred and bigotry.
