Hey, look! It's the Christian Right!

Read it and weep. This is a pristine example of why idiots shouldn't be allowed to breed. It's absolutely shocking! To boycott a MASSIVE corporation merely because they refuse to discriminate against a certain group of people... Someone needs to slap the hell out of every single person at that convention. The Southern Baptists like to say they "love the sinner, hate the sin". Flat out bullshit. They're just a huge group of bigoted idiots wailing away because others aren't as smallminded as them and they feel confused because the world has advanced in the 200 years since they last understood it. These are the same group of sorry losers who took almost 100 years to apologize to Africans for slavery!
It's good that someone finally did something so out there stupid to give me reason to vent, it's bad that these jokers are the largest denomination of Protestants in the country. God, the shame of ever being in the slightest connected to them. If I were a Southern Baptist right now I'd not want to be seen in public for the shame.
I mean, this isn't even a pristine vent because I'm having trouble even comprehending the scale of their idiocy. It's staggering! I guess if the boycott were to work, what would they do next? Probably move on and find another company to harass. Fools are never static, much to the detriment of all. Of course, what the hell do they hope to achieve? "Oh yes, we at Disney have decided that gays, lesbians and other people not seen as acceptable by our Southern friends are really not human, and we have thrown all of them out on to the street by their ears". Give me a break. I believe the Baptists are the best example of enforced, group idiocy I've ever come across.
They claim Jesus tells them to hate gays. Words cannot express how angry this makes me. Jesus's core message was one of love and TOLERANCE. Jesus was KILLED because the Pharisees (read, Southern Baptists) couldn't TOLERATE a different message, couldn't TOLERATE someone not like them. To claim that really, this prophetic man preached a litany of hate and intolerance is the worst slander dealt to a religion that I can imagine. It's the same as people depicting the Prophet Muhammed with a bomb in his turban. But I don't see anyone kidnapping and killing Southern Baptists now do I? These hacks have no clue what the hell they're talking about.
Maybe there's another reason behind this little escapade of theirs. Maybe it's not sheer ignorance and lack of proper education. Maybe it's not barbarous, subhuman hatred. Maybe, the real reason is they needed another scandal to shore up their confidence. Maybe everything had been "acceptable" for a little too long, and people were getting nervous. "No! We haven't found anything to hate in a month! WHAT'S GOING WRONG WITH THE WORLD!". Let's create a problem. Let's stir some intolerance and hatred, mix up the cauldron and piss everyone off, eh? Way to go, Southern Baptists. You shame an entire religion.
EDIT -
Oh, and I found this little snippet at the end, thought I'd take a crack at that. "The Rev. David Galvan, pastor of Primera Iglesia Bautista Nueva Vida in Garland, was elected second vice president." Honestly, I'm shocked they have a church with a name in a foreign language, based on the fact they hate everyone not like them. It's a ruse to make people think they really are decent people.
