More Christian Love and Tolerance

What horrible deed could some young woman have performed in order to get these reactions from her Christian neighbours?

Burn her

Stone her

Dump her in Iraq

Hang her

Rape her

Murder her

Tell her to jump off a bridge

Shoot her

All of those comments appeared on the WKRG News Facebook page. They were written by devout Christians who left them there until other people started talking about them. Then there was a mad scramble as each of these devout Christians demanded that their comments be deleted for fear that they may have similar threats made against them.

So what were the devout Christians complaining about. What caused them to forget about "love thy neighbour as thyself" and demand, instead, that an innocent young woman should be put to death?

In Alabama the Mobile County Commission voted to put the words "In God We Trust" on a plaque in the city's Administration Building. Then Amanda Scott said that she was not a Christian and felt that the proposed words made her feel excluded from the community. She suggested that instead the Commission should use the Latin phrase "E pluribus unum" which means "out of many, one" and leaves nobody feeling excluded. 

And that's it! That's all she said. And now the devout Christians are baying for her blood. Well not all of them. As noted above, the more cowardly among them have tried to cover their tracks by deleting their comments and hiding behind the cloak of anonymity. (They'll be mightily pissed off when they discover that their names were recorded before their comments were deleted.)

One of those cowards was Bennie O. Ashby who works for the Alabama Department of Corrections; a government worker, whose job involves providing security for people in prison, yet he casually demands that innocent people should be shot on sight!
