One has to wonder sometimes, when the lunacy will end. Pastor Kevin Swanson tells his radio flock not to buy girl scout cookies as they lead to lesbianism, abortion, and communism.
I don’t wanna promote a wicked organization that, according to its own website, doesn’t promote godly womanhood. It just doesn’t! I don’t see anything that promotes godly womanhood! The vision of the Girl Scouts of America is antithetical to a Biblical vision for womanhood, friends. […]
Really, “ungodly womanhood”. What IS that anyway?
I wonder what denomination this Pastor espouses.
Holy Cow, all that from a thin mint! Its hard not to laugh. Seriously, you have to listen for yourself.
All my girls were in Girl Scouts. If we’re going to hell, we’re all going with a few cases of Samoas.
Thin mints!!!
What’s “ungodly” is my inability to resist these damned cookies.
I only buy them as donations to the troops!
Funny Emma!!!!!
Moon,
Please feel free to donate Samoas to troops over here on Lafayette. 😉
Sorry, I meant Elena.
I’m going to buy more now.
I guess we will all become lesbians then, except for Elena. She might get to be one too just from handling them. Sigh…and to think, at my age!
As someone who consumes thin-mints by the sleeve, I can attest to the falicy and folly of this pastor’s argument.
Now if he wanted to argue that the National GSA and BSA have drifted into the “PC Realm” and parents should understand the direction these institutions are headed, and make informed decisions in line with their Christian beliefs as to whether or not the national policy has impacted the local troop, the pastor would be standing on firmer ground.
frozen thin mints!
Pat, you and my husband both!
You know Steve, let me share a profound experience I had regarding those who believe their Christianity makes them more righteous and G-dly than a gay person.
I find offense in that, I know plenty of people who are gay who live their lives more caring, more compassionately than those who would have us believe they are better simply because they are “believers”.
In all the years that I worked as a make up artist in the cable world (MSNBC and CNN), there was only ONE time that I entertained risking my job because of a guest. And let me tell you, I put make up on many a politician AND media person that I found completely unlikable (liberal, conservative, male, female, black white, whatever, they could all be condescending jerks).
But, James Dobson, he is a guest I will never, as long as I live, forget. He was THE most, by far, and to this day remains, the poster child for rudeness bordering on cruelty. He treated me like I was his slave, he never looked me in the eye while he was ordering me around, telling me, over and over and over, like I was an idiot, not to “touch my hair”. He was the most ungodly person I have ever met, to this day. And yet HE, he stands before people and preaches about the tenents of Christianity? What a hypocrite!
When I went in to touch up his make up, he was so dismissive so rude so contemptuous of me, that I literally had to stop what I was doing and have a conversation in my head. It went like this Steve:
“Elena, this job is what is getting you through graduate school, this is good money, you need this job”.
To which my prideful self replied “no job is worth allowing some a-hole to treat you this way, tell him to eff off, and walk out with your self worth”
To which then, my rational side replied “Precisely because he is not worth it, you can’t allow him to goad you into giving up your job. Don’t let him win”
Well, I didn’t do what I wanted to do, which, if you know be now, must have been very difficult. Keeping my mouth shut is not my strong suit.
However, I have never forgotten James Dobson and his brand of Christianity. Give me GSA and BSA any day over pretend compassion and love.
What a loser. Some people need something to complain about of they would have no reason to get out of bed. The preacher is one of those.
Now if he argued that such cookies can make you fat, he may have a point
@Pat.Herve Homemade thin mint ice cream. Even better.
Recipe? @Emma
It’s a frozen custard that is actually in my Cuisinart recipe book, with one modification (the thin mints). I’ll find it online and send it to you.
Thanks. I have a ninja that you can supposedly make ice cream in. I have never done it.
I hope it calls for Chocolate syrup.
Be careful, you don’t want to get too gay with this…
Just thinking about it ‘turns me.’
Back to this preacher guy: how do people so unimaginably stupid manage to live to adulthood, let alone have a position that requires them to attract followers? How is this possible? And who are th members of his congregation? One would have thought they would have drowned in the shower, swallowed eating utensils, gotten run down while sleeping on roadways or something that would have earned them a Darwin Award. The same is true of the guy who keeps wanting to put Americans in Muslim countries around the world at extreme risk (and creating local fire hazards) by burning piles of Qu’urans. I can’t even begin to figure out how such people manage to survive, physically or financially.
Stupidity simply knows no bounds.
@Emma
“Be careful, you don’t want to get too gay with this…”
This has nothing to do with the Girl Scouts but after your line..and the fact that I had just seen this… I had to link it.
Here ya go……this is too funny.
http://www.buzzfeed.com/mattbellassai/british-rowing-team-strips-down-once-again-to-figh
Be aware… possibly nsfw…. Ok..upon second review…nsfw but no “bits” showing.
“Since 2009, the rowing team has stripped down for the Warwick Rowing Naked Calendar, donating a portion of the proceeds to their charity, Sport Allies, which fights homophobia and bullying.”
According to my wife…they are very good looking. I wouldn’t know……
CS: As a former college oarsman, I must decry the advent of nude rowing, whatever the cause. Rowing has a lot of hazards – for example, it’s very hard on hands (most oarsmen’s – and now oarswomen’s – hands are a mass of callouses by season’s end) – but the idea of butt splinters would take a lot of the charm from the sport as far as I’m concerned.
@Scout
Ouch.
Elena, thanks for the backstage info.
Who were the nicest people that you made up?
There are a few that really stand out.
Jerry Springer (this was in his most popular phase when he could have easily been a jerk and he was the most humble guy, almost shy actually, very kind to me, asked me questions about me)
Tom Ridge
John McCain
Robert Reich (super nice guy!)
Pat Buchannan
Issac Hayes
Bernie Shaw
There are others, but off the top of my head, these ones stood out. Isn’t it sad, I can’t think of one woman 🙁
I remember have more than one lively debate with Gary Bauer (focus on the family). He was a regular. I would say he was nice, but incredibly intolerant of other views when it came to what democracy should look like, as in, he believe ours should be a theocracy based on Christianity of course. I tried to suggest that many middle eastern countries were based on theocracy and that wasn’t working out too well. Yeah, he didn’t see the similarities since only his religion was the right one. I remember one time he asked “are you going to make me look bad now?” to which I replied “of course not, I love talking with people who have different views. Plus, if you look bad than I look bad as your make up artist and I’m not into MAD 🙂 “
You are forgetting Greta. Also you are forgetting our favorite republican, Tom Ridge.@Elena
@Cargosquid oooo-kay.
Whatever floats your boat, so to speak :p
I had tom Ridge up, I must have erased by accident. I’ll edit right now.
Rick asked for nice people, Greta wasn’t all that nice, she pretty much treated me like a minion.
Ah, I didn’t see the word “nice.”
She isn’t that nice now on TV. You can just tell.
At last, now I know the answer to a question that has plagued me all the years I have been eating Girl Scout cookies–Why do I like women so much? Wh? Because eating all those Girl Scout cookies has turned me into a lesbian and lesbians love women.
