Evangelicals of the GOP.

Also has a thing or two to say about the regressive, right wing anti-woman, homophobic RCC which makes up a sizeable second place segment of the religious component of the GOP.

Interesting you didn't think of that.

They do exist. I've met them before. bluestateguy Jul 2015 #1

Three of The Four Horsemen match most of that list. rug Jul 2015 #2

How was your vacation? truebrit71 Jul 2015 #3

I see you still are engrossed in insincere meta. rug Jul 2015 #5

failed. Warren Stupidity Jul 2015 #10

Not my alert. You're on my jury blacklist. rug Jul 2015 #11

that's not the way it works rug. Warren Stupidity Jul 2015 #13

It should. rug Jul 2015 #15

why? So you can bias a jury in favor of your alert? Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #99

I've seen more twisted alerts from you than anyone on this board. rug Aug 2015 #100

Speaking of dishonesty why are you accusing me of alerting on your post after I said I didn't? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #119

In your imagination I am quite the monster. Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #120

I don't believe in monsters. rug Aug 2015 #125

That's now how jury blacklists work. Blacklist affects who sits on a jury for an alert of YOUR post Heddi Jul 2015 #14

Warren was far more concise. rug Jul 2015 #17

I wanted to explain it nicely Heddi Jul 2015 #21

That explains the video. rug Jul 2015 #22

Agreed. Then we could see some of your alerts while you were on vacation. truebrit71 Jul 2015 #23

Oh, were you thinking of me? rug Jul 2015 #25

Links to what? Your vacation alerts? truebrit71 Jul 2015 #28

Since I'm on an "Educate the Masses" kick tonight Heddi Jul 2015 #29

Now explain the difference between ToS alerts and CS alerts. rug Jul 2015 #32

TOS alerts aren't anonymous. Other alerts are Heddi Jul 2015 #34

Oh, you weren't thinking of me? rug Jul 2015 #31

Nope. truebrit71 Jul 2015 #40

Oh, poor alerter. Tried so hard. Heddi Jul 2015 #18

You weren't really absent though. You alerted on a post while you were gone Heddi Jul 2015 #26

Yes it was an SoP alert to the kosts of a group. rug Jul 2015 #44

So it kind of refutes your memories of a refreshing absence if you were alerting.... Heddi Jul 2015 #52

And you learned about conservative atheists. rug Aug 2015 #104

Well we already know who's conservative here. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #118

Do you support Sam Harris? rug Aug 2015 #121

I don't support Sam. Why do you support a misogynistic homophobic organization? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #122

I don't. rug Aug 2015 #124

You don't support the RCC? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #126

I don't support your imaginary bogeymen. rug Aug 2015 #128

Your church's opposition to women's and lgbt people's human rights created the reality. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #130

Actually, I prefer to deal in facts over internet polemics. rug Aug 2015 #131

So why do you support an organization that treats women and lgbt people like second class citizens? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #132

Insert one fact into that question and you'll have an answer, rug Aug 2015 #133

I have no idea why anyone would support the RCC and its policies. Frankly it boggles the mind. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #134

Do you not support the RCC? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #140

I am a Catholic. rug Aug 2015 #141

The items I listed are not a stereotype. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #143

What items? You responded to my reply to someone else. rug Aug 2015 #144

Post removed Post removed Aug 2015 #145

That's not a list. rug Aug 2015 #146

Try addressing BMUS's point without dismissing it as a stereotype. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #147

Try typing anything without wrapping it in personal bullshit. rug Aug 2015 #148

Nothing personal about it. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #149

I take it that when you typed "fuck you", you had in mind some abstract entity. rug Aug 2015 #150

Amazing how you fluidly shift between his opinion of you and his opinion of your church... truebrit71 Aug 2015 #151

Amazing how you only see what you want to see. rug Aug 2015 #152

It's not a stereotype to point out the inherent misogyny in the catholic church. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #162

You're right. The more accurate word than stereotype is bigotry. rug Aug 2015 #165

It's not religious bigotry to criticize a bigoted religious organization like the RCC. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #166

No it isn't. Writing bigotry is. rug Aug 2015 #171

It's not religious bigotry to criticize a bigoted religious organization like the RCC. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #174

Do you think it is "inherently" bigoted? rug Aug 2015 #176

Of course it is. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #178

Then you're writing bigoted statements, of course. rug Aug 2015 #180

It's not bigotry to criticize a bigoted religious organization like the RCC. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #183

It's bigotry to say it's inherently misogynist and homophobic. rug Aug 2015 #184

Bias against the church is bigotry? And their persecution of women is what? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #186

Do you think the KKK is inherently bigoted? Lordquinton Aug 2015 #189

Yes. That's its entitre premise. Do you think the RCC is the same as the KKK? rug Aug 2015 #196

Both believe some humans are inferior to others. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #198

And there it is. Your fundamental ignorance of that which you love to attack. rug Aug 2015 #199

Their efforts to restrict my human rights doesn't make them humanitarians. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #202

Amazing. You are less concerned about the people your church harms Lordquinton Aug 2015 #154

I am not at all concerned about people in here who exalt meta over discssion, rug Aug 2015 #155

You are also not at all concerned about your church's victims Lordquinton Aug 2015 #156

Says who? You? rug Aug 2015 #157

Your own words betray you Lordquinton Aug 2015 #158

Post them. Let's see exactly what kind of crap you're peddling. rug Aug 2015 #159

Just read up thread Lordquinton Aug 2015 #160

Already read. Now back up the bullshit you posted. rug Aug 2015 #161

When confronted with your church's wrong doings, you ignore it Lordquinton Aug 2015 #188

Says me. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #163

Let's be very precise here scottie. Are you calling me a bigot? rug Aug 2015 #164

Why would you think people are calling you a bigot? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #167

The question is why you are suggesting it. rug Aug 2015 #168

Why are you lying about my post? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #169

163. I'm not lying. rug Aug 2015 #170

Then post proof of your claim that I suggested you're a bigot. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #172

Why don't you just answer the question instead of evading? rug Aug 2015 #173

Post proof of your claim that I suggested you're a bigot. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #175

163. Now answer the question. rug Aug 2015 #177

Point it out, post proof that I suggested you're a bigot. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #179

That's number 4. rug Aug 2015 #181

You're good with numbers but not with proving your claims. Spell it out in English. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #182

That's evasion number five. rug Aug 2015 #185

C'mon, pretend you're a lawyer and you need to make your case in court. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #187

Really? I'd "wither"? I'm no more intimidated by bullies in real life than I am on DU, rug. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #195

Wither, as in melt, fold, collapse. rug Aug 2015 #197

You first. You never proved I suggested you were a bigot. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #200

"You first." I left grammar school a long time ago. rug Aug 2015 #201

So you can't prove your claim. Glad we cleared that up. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #203

Are you pro choice? Lordquinton Aug 2015 #191

Yes and yes. rug Aug 2015 #193

You're calling everyone who disagrees with you a bigot here Lordquinton Aug 2015 #190

You really don't grasp the irony of that, do you? rug Aug 2015 #194
