OMFG....Freepers defend man hitting his wife for taking "Lord's name in Vain"

RW nut baggery at it's worst. These are the zealots that are not happy until we ALL live under THEIR VERSION OF THEOCRACY. It's no wonder so many of them were having wet dreams over Santorum.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2894106/posts


Man Smacks Wife "Upside The Head" After She Uses Lord's Name In Vain During Argument

What was he supposed to do? Let her take the Lord’s name in vain in his own house?

I say smack the devil out of her.

So throwing him in jail solves the problem? He's a fundamental Christian upset at taking the Lord's name in vain (one of the ten commandment, I believe). How can you defend a person who verbally attacks the religious beliefs of another in his own home?

Is not her assault upon his eardrums a crime too? Her’s was the first action, his a reaction and he’s in jail for battery. How about we split the difference and send her to jail too for assault? That would seem fair to me, as both were breaking the law.

But I don't like zero tolerance and the insanity that goes along with jailing people in this day and age. No marks on her. Look, if she had bruises or lacerations, sure, send the puke to jail. In this case, the legal systems should be able to determine that the wife assaulted the man's faith and his eardrums, he reacted poorly. To me, she's as guily as the husband, maybe more so because she started it with her illegal assault.


Now there have been some responses trying to set these idiots straight, but the fact that they are arguing their case full bore almost makes me weep for the women in their lives....and this nation. it's no wonder we found threads there calling to revoke the vote of women, and their stupidity in voting their own minds rather than 'enhancing' the votes of the husbands. Frankly, it's no wonder so many on the right simply don't see a war on women.

We go there not because we like to sludge through the filth, but because trolling isn't a one-way street. The difference is our people are scary good at it. Not just because we're better actors/impressionists, but also because the RW mind is a caricature of itself. It's so much easier for us to act like mindless, mouth-breathing wingnuts, while very few of them can actually wrap their heads around the nuanced positions of most liberals. They're much easier for us to sniff out here than the time they have of figuring out which ignorant knuckle-dragger there is legit or a parody of themselves.

BF from over 25 years ago who last year friended me on FB. He's gone religious fundie, and is separated (but not divorced of course), and wants to date. Well, dating is fine, but I don't get intimately involved with MARRIED men or FUNDIES or REPUBLICANS (he's all 3).

I don't think he would ever be violent, but I just don't have quite the level of trust that it could never happen.......he can be my friend and we can go to museums and have lunch, but nothing serious.

he nixed recent plans to study to become a minister - he admits he's just too old and tired.

He's 55, like me. But he looks 65-70 and has medical problems to match (but has great medical insurance because of his JOB WORKING FOR THE COUNTY, lol). Heck, that alone would be enough to turn me off romantically even if he were somewhat more liberal and not so religious!

Mon Jun 11, 2012, 07:34 PM

wasn't so much about blurting out "Jesus Christ" when you hit your thumb with a hammer instead of it hitting the nail.... It was about calling one's self a "Godly person, and doing and living one's life the opposite of a faithful servant... Smacking one's wife would be the actual sin in God's eyes, not the expletive!!!

Reason why, is how does one go around calling themselves a servant of God, faithful or what not, if they act in the opposite manner in which the word of God speaks to.... AND if one is a "Christian" the second 1/2 of the bible is the more important one because it is Jesus who commands one another to love each other as brother's and sister's; its Jesus who says the meek shall inherit the world, it is Jesus who says the palaces in heaven are greater for those faithful spirit, and it is those who have the most abundance who are supposed to give the most....or have essential damnation later on in life.

Anyway, this man is not a "Christian" by any sense of the meaning at all.

I bet these same assholes thought it was free speech for that nut to hang an effigy of Obama in his yard. But using the lords name in vain is a crime?
