Daddy Tim: You Should Read This
« on: January 25, 2008, 01:18:18 pm »
This may well get me into trouble.

So be it.

Our good friend Daddy Tim (aka Moffie65) , previously of these Forums, posted this.

It bears reading and acknowledgment.

thanks for the link  ;)

having gone to a baptist school in nc for 8 yrs and then another 2 yrs in a baptist college in florida, I found moffie's piece incredibly interesting. I quit attending any church 20 yrs ago because of the hypocrisy - some of which moffie so eloquently points out.

Tim's most passionate (and compassionate) take on Christianity, historically and in modern times, should be required reading for millions worldwide.  Tim has his finger on the pulse more so than 99% of the populace.

In fact, Tim should be permitted to re-write the Old and New Testaments and the Koran as well !!!  He truly has a genuine understanding of what GOD actually means and not the twist that's been done for the sake of convenience by power hungry, greedy individuals over the centuries for their own gain.

I have always had, and still have, a great admiration for Tim. He gets his thoughts together, puts them down on a page, always for an excellent read, and food for thought !

It's good to see him posting again over at the Spin Cycle. I know this past year has been difficult for him. I last spoke to Tim around Mid- November, so it's time to give him a call again. I did not have the opportunity to meet him, since I had not attended any of the AMG's, but I hope there is always the possibility someday, that we do meet.

Tim's  a good person , a true activist !! He speaks his mind. I 've printed out many posts, that Tim has made through the years. Keep posting Tim !!

Very good find MTD,
Tim's pretty much on the ball with his post.
The only "anger" thing he missed was when those "upstanding decent" towns people were going to
stone the whore. To take out their judgment on her.
And Jesus got totally pissed at the so called self appointed righteous town folks, and basically told them to shove it,
and get lost. He was angry then.
Then Jesus took the "bad lady" in under his wing.

I always found it hearting that if... at that point in time... life and death judgment was to have taken place, (you know… the rapture thing),
that the "bad lady" would be saved and taken into salvation, and the goodie two shoes towns people
would have spent eternity with flames up their ying yang.

Its really too bad so many, like a lot of Gays, are - or feel they are detached from "religion" because of the goodie two shoed people
telling us THEY are worthy and WE are not. Thats not at all what the message is meant to be about.
If Jesus walked the earth in the flesh today, he'd kick their holeyer then thou behinds to kingdom come. And not the good kindom come.

Its so screwed up ass backwards.

Actually WE are the chosen ones. We are the to be "saved" ones.
All the Pat Robertson and Falwell followers are the ones that will be hard judged, and probably
dancing in flames for eternity.

I can’t imagine the anger Christ is containing because of the damage these self appointed "Christians"
have done throughout history to the truly "worthy" (that’s us).
But they'll find out the hard way, in time.
(I wish Huckabee would read this… and take note)

ps. Think I'll post this to that forum too. Probably get some heat.
