A Christian Rebuttal to Rick Perry

YouTube Description:

We're not ashamed to admit that we're Christians, but we don't think that being in a pew on Sunday is what makes you one. We know there is something wrong in this country when you can spin the name of Jesus Christ, the living body of love and grace, into a political platform. Especially when this platform demonizes the very people who sacrifice their own lives so that you can have that platform at all. Rick Perry, you said that you'll end the war on religion. We're waiting for a president who doesn't dilute religion into a mere political constituency, but instead embraces it as a powerful way to bridge the gap of vast differences among our fellow Americans. Grace is what makes us strong, and will make us strong again because not our country, nor Rick Perry, nor either of us deserve it. We're gay, we're straight, we're black, we're white, we're rich, we're poor, we're conservative, we're liberal, we're Christian, we're not...and Jesus loves the little children. All the children of the world. We strive to love you all extravagantly...the way that Jesus loved. We're sisters, and we approve this message.

I think if we atheists look deep down inside, it's only the hypocritical and oppressive Christian right that bugs us. The Christians that genuinely believe in love and empathy and don't use religion as a weapon are generally really good people. I've known 3 such Christians in my life and they are a credit to their faith. I think it's time we separate the wheat from the chaff, as the good book says.

I prefer no christianity at all and wish it's deluded followers would learn to keep it to themselves. All of it.


Disagree, I like the engaging, loving part of them, they should stay and tell us about their believes, if you don't want to listen, don't do it.

Everybody has a right to slamdunk his believes in your face if he wants... to a certain degree.

On behalf of religious zealots I would agree, but not all christians are shiny...

Jesus was nothing if not a plank for politics.

And I'm open to most forms of religious freedom, so long as one additional commandment -- as described by the late great George Carlin, is included among the other ten:
"Thou shalt keep thine religion to thine self."
