To further pigeonhole Christians into the stereotype of overly-political and anti-gay, we have this gentleman, a grown-ass man, who has been bullying and stalking a homosexual college kid. Watch as much of the video as you can without having a heart-attack— my commentary is below.

And now I’d like to say a few words to Mr. Shirvell:

First of all, Andy… pick on someone your own size. You are a grown-up now, which means you have to put on your big boy pants and not get your panties in a wad about the student body president of your alma matter. Based on your lack of intellectual-prowess, you probably ought to just be thankful you got out of there with a diploma and stop looking back.

Second, please stop politicizing Christianity. Being conservative and Christian are not the same. Also, if you are going to identify yourself as both, please decide which one is more important to you and be up front about it. My experience has been that most conservative Christians are just that, conservative first and Christian second. If Jesus came back today and said “Leave the gays alone,” I get the impression you and your elk would be the first to pick up the stones.

Last, where is Jesus in your actions? Where in your distorted version of faith do you see Christ bullying a boy who isn’t even old enough to remember life before the Internet. Can you point to a Scripture where Jesus condemns someone based on sexual-orientation? Can you find a place in the Bible where Jesus speaks out harshly against anyone other than the self-righteous religious leaders of his day?

You can’t. It isn’t there. So, Andy, if you aren’t being Christ-like in your actions, please do us all a favor and shut your pie hole. Learn to love. Learn to be identified as one of Christ’s disciples because of your love for others and not because of your bigotry and seething hatred for other human beings.

Those of you who think like Mr. Shirvell, go and do likewise.

Joel Bradshaw (98.232.8.xxx) 2010-10-02 20:16:19 Ha! "His biggest issues were extending the hours of the cafeteria and lowering tuition." And on gender-neutral housing: "Any man or woman wanting to choose to live together. That's a radical redefinition of gender norms." I was pretty sure, and just checked:Oregon State University have gender-neutral housing, University of Washington offers mixed-gender housing and gender-neutral apartments, and 50+ other universities do as well. Hardly radical. "I sense a lot of anger in your voice, Mr. Anderson" Um, Anderson is about as calm as concievable in this clip. And sorry man, but he's not giving interviews because you are totally insane. ReplyQuote 0 0
