These idiots just aren't satisfied with anyone who fails to lob the heads off of nonbelievers. At least the Taliban are honest about their ass-backwards extremism.

Notice how they're so quick and willing to believe in his Christianity when his pastor is (supposedly) anti-white.

Christians who use their god as a marketing tool can rot in their imaginary hell.

So many helpful jackwagons out there, their little fingers must be sore from all the biblical cherry-picking they do...

Funny how they all, to a person, "conveniently" "overlook" Matthew 7:3.

Jackwagons.

2. Pastor Driscoll wants us (especially us ladies) to love Him by keeping His commandments in humility, prayer, observing His law and offering sacrifice (in the form of our personal independence, autonomy, career goals, etc.) to Him.

3. Pastor Driscoll wants us to love our neighbor as ourselves (unless our neighbor is gay, or practices another religion, or--heaven forbid!--is an agnostic or an atheist).

A lot of us here are under no ethical or moral obligation to not judge people, because we do not claim to live our lives according to a book that says (among other things) "judge not lest ye be judged." I am free to judge you and your misogynist douchebag of a pastor. And I do, enthusiastically! Doing so doesn't make me a hypocrite, because I do not profess anything different.

See how that works?

You think Christ approves of Driscoll when he claims to know that Obama - who went to a Christian church his whole life - does not believe in God or that he's incapable of understanding an oath? Do you think He would approve of Driscoll bearing such witness to the world?

Just because the truth is ugly shouldn't reflect badly on the person who points it out. If this tweet is any indication, the leaders of Mars Hill are leading their flock astray. Jesus would weep.

That was my exact reaction too. This one guy is judging this other guy saying that he doesn't follow the Bible... thereby not following the Bible himself because he's judging others. Driscoll's message is probably the most un-Christian thing I've seen in a while. How can this creep not see the hypocrisy?

But it doesn't change the church's belligerent and bigoted posture in the community. It doesn't negate the experiences of those unfortunate enough to suffer through "church discipline" or whatever the hell they call it. I think you can appreciate the individuals who helped your friends while having to like the institution. Good people can be found everywhere.

I also recommend Mark 3:28-30.

I'm praying his God that Mark Driscoll learns how not to be an asshole.

Like my other prayers, I doubt the imaginary man in the sky will answer.

I despise that over gelled douche canoe Driscoll with all my heart. He teaches a reactionary, homophobic deeply misogynistic and superstitious pile of crap with a light drizzle of Jesus on top. But I have four friends who have found a home in that church, and it has done them all good. One has found so much comfort and support during the double loss of his parents, and two of them have found their way to being good husbands and fathers where as in years back it was touch and go if they'd ever get out of the thug life at all.
I'm happy that they are happy, but when they start parroting Drisoll's more egregious crap on Facebook it makes me sick and sad inside.
