Hi Sarge:
Are we a bit egocentric today? For someone who bitches about the unwillingness of others to consider alternative positions, you sure come across as particularly close-minded. I mean, if I'm to accept your proposition, shouldn't you at least articulate what is inaccurate about our position?
I can help you out with your analysis at tad. Preaching the word of God is just that ... preaching. It's not taking up arms against anybody. It's not harming anybody with force of law or might. It's not our intention or our prerogative to attempt conversion of anyone to our position, much less compel anyone to listen to us. We didn't force your sorry carcass to our webpage ... you found your own way, then went straight to crying like a little 85-pound be-aitch! Some Marine you turned out to be ... NOT!
If you knew anything about which you spoke, you would know that the scripture is replete with examples of God sending foreign armies to punish a nation for turning against his commandments. For example, I suspect the Israelites had nothing good to say about the Babylonians that swept across their land (as a judgment of God for their sins). They also spat your type of vile rhetoric at Jeremiah for reminding them that he had warned them that God's judgment was coming. Hmmmm. Seems like this pattern may be a bit too close, eh?
Get over your hypocritical self, dummy. God is punishing this nation. Deal with it! Think about it even while you march forth in your hypocrisy to crush, kill, destroy -- meting out many times the misery this nation bawls incessantly about now onto the heads of defensless thousands or millions.
What a coward!
And my response:
I have seen the link to your sight on several BBS's that I frequent, and have resisted the temptation to visit your sight, due to your extremist views.
A few points... First Marine is spelled with a capital M. Second, we don't have a "sarge". It is Sergeant.
As far as your views go, this is America and you are free to have these extreme views, but hiding behind the First Amendment and God while sponsoring HATE is wrong.
I DO NOT condone homosexual behavior, but I also do not condone hate. Preaching the Gospel is fine, but when you introduce YOUR hate into the Scriptures, you blaspheme the Word of God.
I believe that when the judgement Day comes, you will be in for a shock.
Please, e-mail these fools and let them know how REAL Americans feel about hatemongers...
Here is their e-mail....
