"A mega-church in Arlington, Texas has reportedly cancelled at the last minute a funeral service for a Navy veteran who died while awaiting a heart transplant after learning he was gay."
[...]
"When Sinclair died High Point offered to host a funeral.

But the offer suddenly and at the last minute was rescinded, the Dallas Morning News reports, when the church discovered Sinclair was gay.

Sinclair's sexuality came to light, the paper reports, when the family submitted photographs of Sinclair's life that it wanted to display at the funeral. Among the pictures where [sic!] photo's [sic!] of Sinclair hugging and his partner, Paul Wagner."

I guess if you're a killer they'll be all too happy to cosy up to you, but suck one cock yourself and they'll refuse to suck yours. Gotta love the religionist "logic" and "love".

Bigotry on the part of a "mega-church"? I for one am shocked. Shocked and hungry.

I had horrible pizza tonight. Why didn't I give it to you instead?

A mega-church in Arlington, Texas...no where will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

...We must be cautious...

...Wait...just don't even bother going. I mean, it's not like you'll find anything interesting. CERTAINLY not something like, say, a walking carpet.

But yeah, a Mega Church, in Texas...I'd be surprised if they DIDN'T do something like this.

He didn't do anything wrong. :headbang:

He killed people. That's a no-no. But apparently not as big a no-no as taking it up the poop chute.

Did he? It doesn't say in the article that he did. In fact, all it says is that he was involved in rescue missions.

why is it wrong to kill people in war?

Sure, "rescue missions" by the USA military. We all know what that means and entails.

He's lucky. These Texan mega-church feast on the souls of all the dead that they give services for, plus he got to suck cock while alive. I'm only seeing positives here.
Well he is dead.

So you believe in post birth abortions too then?

there's a difference between killing combatants and killing innocents.

I wasn't claiming that it was a bad thing for him, or for anyone really. Churches, mega or not, make me sick to my stomach, but hey, if you offer to perform a service and in the last minute withdraw because you suddenly know that cock's been up other people's mouths, well, that's just rude.

Ah, if only it weren't for that pesky collateral damage.

Megachurches are in too many cases the worst of the worst. They combine the moralistic teachings of Christianity with zero focus on social causes or aid and give it a healthy dose of Disneyland theatrics and no doctrinal lessons.

It's McGod.

Maybe you should tell the USA military that...

Religion a bunch of tripe? You don't say.

I don't see how.

Life is worthless, you see. It's its accoutrements that dazzle.

Killing is wrong, regardless of any conditions.

Insert vaguely humorous pun here. Military service? Dishonorable discharge? Meh, I got nothing. :p

Sure, "rescue missions" by the USA military. We all know what that means and entails.

Yeah. Pretty much the same thing as rescue missions by anyone else.

Whether or not killing in war is just (I don't think it is) is pretty irrelevant to this. We don't know if the guy killed anyone personally.

Religion a bunch of tripe? You don't say.

Vetalia was specifically adressing megachurches. While I personally find religion to be a bunch of hokey too, you can't deny that some churches actually do perform valuable social services, charity etc. Just not these megachurces.

I get the feeling that you are using this dreadfully sad story to attack religion in general fass. Thats low.

While I agree that recuse missions by the military don't necessarily involve firing weapons (although they most likely will considering the nature of most military rescues), I would say that rescue missions by, say, firefighters or the coast gaurd are going to be pretty different.

Actually, I would expect military rescue missions to get downed pilots to be quite similar to rescues by the coast guard, although they may not involve all the water.

You know everything that goes on within the US military? Please explain to us what that means and entails.

I don't see how.

One is trying to kill you and one is not. Fairly simple distinction really.

I'll never understand it.

Soldiers sacrifice large portions of their lives, health and sometimes sanity for the benefit of their country and it's citizens. Whether they're front-line troops killing the poeple that politicians point them at, or supply officers on a destroyer, military personnel make tremendous sacrifices for their fellow citizens.

The least we can do in return is let them fuck whatever they want(assuming the person/object in question doesn't object). One nut's opinion. :)

Yeah, Pakistan Earthquake relief and rescue, Katrina rescue, Tsunami rescue and relief just to name a few. I'm leaving out dozens others but I figure that you can figure out that you are wrong.

do we think a General thread about who gives the best head is acceptable in general? only me an my friends were having this discussion earlier. my female friend said girls give it best, the male friend (who is straight) said men can give it best cuz they know where to lick as it were. myself being rather inexperienced kept silent but frankly i hope girls are better cuz the one guy that sucked me off was shit. in fact 'sucked me off' is being generous. i didn't get off at all.

I don't think that thread is gonna fly so well, but you made me laugh. :p

well i achieved one aim for today anyway :p.



incidentally, anyone else notice the fact that general allows discussions that you wouldn't ever conduct with your closest friens and yet bans ones that you conduct regularly?

That Texan mega-church can fuck itself.

Texas...no where will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Keep saying that while they build the biggest wind farm... well, in wind farms. I only know of one dimension currently, since a pipe supplier for my company gave me and a few other interns a tour of their facility - 100 miles long. On one side.

And the pipe supplier is making 90 ft radius pipe for their turbines. It's nuts.

What I mean is, with something like a downed military plane I would imagine the military rescue would involve having cover fire for enemies who wish to also recover the downed plae/pilot.



Taking a human life is taking a human life. The 'enemy' is just another group of human beings, no different than the 'good guys' except that they fell for a different line of bullshit.

Nope, because most military aircraft are lost in accidents. The people the USA fight don't have the resources to shoot them down. (right?)

Oh, I like Texas. Frankly, I love them for showing wind power to be the best source of alternative energy available and having no income tax. It's the megachurches in Texas I don't like.

Megachurches are teh suck. It almost entails what religious types don't want to happen (well, unless you're Catholic)... the seperation of individualism from church. The whole idea of religion is ones person experience with a God.

By the by, I wonder how many curse while on the way out of the parking lot... :D

People in MegaChurches being hypocritical assholes?! THE DEVIL YOU SAY! :eek: I am shocked, just totally shocked I am! :eek:

This is very true, but perhaps just because NSG greatly widens the group discussing anything so many more 'interests' are brought in. It's true we get a lot of weird shit being discussed on here, but I sometimes think others would think my friends discussing their favourite sex positions would be weird also.

Megachurches have one good side to them. They are the religion's greatest enemy. People put in their checklist: "Going to church - check!", while actually just visit a religion-themed walmartic entertainment center.

However, as of lately, with all these sects, "seekers", and other crap, maybe normal shallow religion isn't that bad as long as it keeps McPeople from zombification.
