Bryan Fischer creates ‘American Association of Religious Bigots’, fails to induct self
Bryan Fischer is really stretching with this one:
I announce today the formation of the American Association of Religious Bigots, the AARB for short.
The AARB will consist of individuals and groups in America who demonstrate that they are Christophobic bigots and hatemongers by their opposition to the free exercise of religion, speech, press or association for followers of Christianity, a religion the Founders were specifically protecting by the First Amendment.
Our charter member is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who yesterday publicly criticized a New Jersey teacher who criticized her public school’s promotion of sexually aberrant behavior. She exercised both her freedom of religion and speech by posting her comments on her own Facebook page.
This Christian teacher expressed her opposition to the school’s celebration of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender history by correctly labeling such behaviors as ‘perverted.’ That may sound harsh, but consider the dictionary definition of ‘perverted:’ ‘Characterized by sexually abnormal and unacceptable practices or tendencies.’ So her assessment is not harsh, it’s just true.
That comment shows the dangers of biased education and biased information. Anyone with a decent understanding of BOTH history and the Bible would see how messed up this position is.
Fischer continues:
So Gov. Christie is joining with those calling for her head by saying her comments are ‘disturbing.’ That makes Gov. Chris Christie a religious bigot, someone who wants this teacher punished for expressing her sincerely held religious views. Thus the governor becomes the officially certified charter member of the AARB, officially certified by yours truly and the Focal Point radio program.
Welcome, Governor! If you change your tune, and actually defend this Christian woman’s constitutional rights, I will happily revoke your membership. For now, wear it as a badge of shame.
Note to Fischer: The constitution includes equal rights for ALL PEOPLE and ALL RELIGIONS. Maybe if you tried reading the damned thing sometime instead of relying on what others say about it, you’d see that.
