If this doesn't piss you off, then you need to take a long walk off a short pier.

For those that thought that there has not been a full scale war lanched against liberals; for those who didn't take the radical right's promise to "eradicate liberals" seriously, I present to you, Exhibit A: East Waynesville Baptist Church has just kicked out all its Democratic members.

Synopsis: The minister said if you supported John Kerry or the Democratic Party, you are against the Church. 9 members said the minister led the charge to excommunicate them because of issues of abortion and homosexuality.

He said they had to repent and agree to vote Republican. 40 other members resigned in protest.

Well, since I have no (or maybe very little) respect for organized religion, I'm not really outraged. It goes back to what [livejournal.com profile] kielle posted in her journal a bit ago. Sshe asked Christians to explain to her why you stay in a church that has policies you disagree with. Why not just leave? If you don't want me there, I'm certainly not going to stay.

I LOVE this! Let the church continue to offend and ostracize half of the population, and maybe I'll get my mortal wish to see all of this nonsense and the right collapse in my lifetime.

I'm wondering if "eradicate" works the same way as "irradiate"... that is, will eradicating liberals imbue them with radical qualities??

(Yes, it's a serious thing, I'm just not ready to be serious right now. Dealing with too many rape victims lately and I need to be goofy for a bit.)
