(95,337 posts)This is why I am so against Christian Fundamentalism because of the abuse I suffered through as a kid in high school. And today I still define myself as a Christian but a progressive one, one who feels that to be a Christian the best way I can be one is by remembering the message of Jesus which is to help others and not judge others.
But this shit like the a-hole in this article. This is so awful. My father passed away when I was a teenager. I grew up in rural PA and the bullies I dealt with were ones that used religion as a way to bully others. I was a kid that loved her rock music at an early age and I had one of these religious fundies dare tell me that my father was rotting in hell because of the music I listened to (nothing radical just stuff like Zeppelin, Queen, Yes, ELO, Pink Floyd, the standard Rock bands folks loved in the late 70s and early 80s). It was a tough time for me in early 80s and I have to say that it was having that music that helped me to find my way through difficult times after my father's death. Turning up the music loud to your favorite tunes helped clear my mind of negative thoughts and help me to think of how I was going to make it through the day without doing something stupid like wanting to end it all.
I am grateful for that music and know that I am a better person today because of it. These assholes, they should hold their heads in shame for the shit they promote in the name of Jesus Christ. It is wrong and it is shameful and it has nothing to do with Christianity. It is pure hate!
