Christian Love from the Rural South

[Tenspace]

And here we have the Right Reverend Creighton Lovelace, who loves limelight as much as he loves thy neighbor. See, Pastor Lovelace (as he likes to be called, softly, with a hint of seductive gruffness) thinks the Quran should be flushed (http://newsobserver.com/news/ncwire_news/story/2439884p-8844338c.html).

My favorite line? This gem: "I don't hate Muslims, I just hate their false doctrines."

Isn't that like saying, "I don't hate African Americans. I just hate their non-white skin."

Now, since Righteous Creighton believes, "I expected some people would be offended, just as if someone put up a sign that said the Bible should be flushed," he said. "That would offend me as a Christian. "This is America and we have the freedom of the press, so I have the right to put up this sign."

Do we have any enterprising members who might be close enough to Forest City, NC (near Charlotte?) who would volunteer to make good on Mr. Lovelace, and place a nice "Flush the Bible" sign near his church?

If you do, please take pictures, so I don't have to resort to making it up, like this:

By the way, here is the real sign that Lovelace so loves:

Even other churches are embarrassed.
"If we want other people to respect our religious symbols and documents we need to respect the symbols and documents that they believe are sacred," he said. "What positive purpose does this serve? None. It's not going to make it easier to evangelize Muslims or foster respect for our religious beliefs."
He has a point, but they become even more embarrassed
"It does not represent the sentiment of our convention," he said. "I can't speak for any particular church, but we are not in support of that."
And then Lovelace thumps his Bible
"We are all told to be tolerant," he said. "You can be tolerant of other people, but that doesn't mean you have to accept anything that teaches against what is in the Bible."

I'm really serious.... anyone in the North Carolina area who would like to post a nice sign across from this idiot's church?

That's the link to the network that carries that station on his sign. The "radio" tab lists all the states in which they're carried, North Carolina leads with a whopping 68 stations. We could try the "contact us" link, and ask why they affiliate themselves with such a hateful man. We could ask a lot.

[Sir Sin-O-Lot]

We should do that.

I find it interesting that WEED is a Southern Gospel station. I bet they get lots of prank calls. :0

If anyone is interested, here is the video (http://treyjackson.typepad.com/junction/) of this fatass espousing his warped worldview. (Note... it's under the May 24 entry. Don't know how long until it scrolls off)
