Boycott Bill Murray for a Better America
July 23, 2010 by Stephenson Billings
Filed under Faith Links, Featured, Moral Alerts, Movie and TV Review, Politics, Propaganda
Despite the fact that we are stampeding through this century with new technologies that isolate and consume us, old Hollywood is still a major player with it comes to the battle for our souls. In the past, their studio chieftans gave us epic heroes like Ronald Reagan and Charlton Heston. They gave us charlatans selling bunk fantasies like Tom Cruise and his Scientology. They have used their incredible power unscrupulously to promote sex (Madonna) and perversion (Elton John). Yet in the midst of our current cultural and economic crisis there is one danger that is subtler than the violence and drugs that is normal fare for major motion pictures these days. That danger is represented in the actor known as Bill Murray.
What this man symbolizes is far more ruinous than California’s buffet dinner of liberal socialist philosophies, homosexual lifestyles and pre-teen consumerism. No, what Bill Murray means to America is the acceptance and celebration of an ultimate apathy. He is a weak man, a murderer of lambs, a despicable hedonist who waves the white flag welcoming the end of American moral and economic primacy. He is a harbinger of our death as a culture, the death of that preëminent philosophy of faith married to capitalism that has saved the world countless times from repression and annihilation. Bill Murray is a fatal disease and the sad news we bring you today is that your children have been infected.
HOLLYWOOD HORSEMAN OF THE AMERICAN APOCALYPSE
Celebrity Murray is a sleazy slacker, a hero to “hipsters,” an icon of the unemployed. From his role as the potsmoking day laborer in Caddyshack to the hermaphrodite in Ed Wood to the sex-crazed pervert pushing demonology in Ghostbussers, to the lusty elderly hotel guest in Lost In Translation, Murray has explored every cranny of shamefulness. He never appears clean cut or sober, never moral or compassionate. He is a hollow man, a two-dimensional figure mirroring contemporary society’s addiction to half-hearted hedonism (i.e. those too drunk to rape). Despite this, his fame has steamrolled to the point where he is now one of the most beloved characters for the 15-35 male demographic, commanding an incalculable power over the futures of our children and consequently America (though, in true Bill Murray fashion, his fans are too lazy to have set up even one unique fansite for him).
When you see this man on screen, his eyes wander all over you like a caged New York City rat. They seek out your curves and muscles with eerie desire. Those are not the eyes of someone you can trust. His mischievous grin suggests rape and sex and wanting to violate any thing he comes into contact with in the dead of night. He seems willing to say whatever it takes to get you where he wants to go, both physically and intellectually. Many of my fellow journalists have reported their fear of this man and his wicked charm, the way he works his way into the depths of your life, gets you to confess your darkest secrets. (See “Dinner With Bill Murray: A Party Reporter’s Guide” and “Here’s More Evidence That Bill Murray Is Awesome”.)
He has also been spotted by gossip reporters and police investigators showing up uninvited at “hipster” parties in places like Williamsburg, Brooklyn, once a Jewish enclave now a secret community of bearded 20-somethings wasting their parent’s hard-earned money on cocaine and clothes. Yes, he likes to slip into crowds half his age, squeeze the smooth young legs of Sarah Lawrence grads while joking with indie-band drummers about German poets, groping young men in Union Square Park, asking for change and warning them to tell no one, or singing to Japanese schoolgirls as they shower. One notorious urban legend recounts how Murray encouraged a subway train of young people to strip off their pants at midnight while he sang to them. (Evidence: “Sad Bill Murray: Accosting People In Union Square” and “Bill Murray Reads Poetry to Construction Workers”.)
THE BILL MURRAY EXPERIENCE
Mr. Murray likes to play the gentle, befuddled older man, one who could ask a child to help him find a puppy in a quiet corner of a public park. Yet once you agree, it’s too late. You’ve been drawn into his celebrity orbit, like some delicious secret Bill has deigned to share with the modest creature that is you. Yes, this is the Bill Murray experience, showering the simple with his celebrity charm in the dark alleyways of America. But what is the endpoint here? The pattern is familiar to criminologists and it’s not hard to draw similarities to the lives of Jeffrey Dahlmer or John Wayne Gacy. Murray has not yet been charged with anything more than narcotic arrests and drunk driving, but at the very least parents should be deeply concerned. Is it not better to be safe than sorry when dealing with a man who may be the next national scandal for his bloodthirst and perversion? Would you not do everything in your power to protect your children from death and failure?
In an era when honest, clean hard work makes the most righteous of our youth generation rise to the top, this man Murray represents the scum of the bottom. We need heroes to inspire our children to excel in math and sports, to stand muscle to muscle with those hearty Russians, brain to brain with the human calculators of China. We need American heroes who hark back to the greatest era of Christian morality and innovation, the men who protected the planet from the scourge of Soviet communism while simultaneously inventing the personal computer and the internet.
Instead, we have boozy Bill Murray on our screens, luring young teens to jump in to his musty van of laziness. He seems to say it’s okay to be white and old and a fool because this country is good and will reward you your failure (welfare?). No, this is wrong. We need adults who act like adults: grandfathers who impart patriotism on their offspring, dedicated employees who keep the engines of our economy greased irregardless of their aging, noble gentlemen who are humble before their great God. We do not need perverts like Bill Murray lusting after our beautiful children with a reckless almost urgent need to tear them from innocence so he can insanely explore his lost, burning childhood on their soft bodies on old couches in dirty apartments in the ghettos of America. What have we lost? What will we ever gain? What does it mean when we say that Jesus died for our sins? What has happened to the country I once loved!
America needs to boycott Bill Murray and do it now! Peel back the layers of this aging man: slapstick comedian, jaded movie star, imperious intellectual, notorious bon vivant, restless wanderer in the dark, slick self-promoter… Have you reached the core yet? Is he hollow? Or has Bill Murray come to the grand revelation himself that he is desperately clawing against his own mortality with half-hearted sexual perversion and intellectual degeneracy, wandering drunken through the night, without passion or direction, already lost to the game of life. He is defeat. He has given up making meaningful gestures of faith or righteousness to instead nest in those small moments of self-satisfaction before he slips into the quiet bosom of obscurity. There is no denying that this grotesque and dangerous creature can be described as nothing less than one of the four horsemen of America’s impending Apocalypse.
“I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the seven living creatures say in a voice like thunder, ‘Come!’ I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on Conquest.” –Revelation 6:1-2.

i’m sorry billings but this time you have gone really far of the deep end.
i’m sorry but your pathetic hate for aguy for simply enjoying life truely shoes how unlikeable you really are. i mean come on i have never seen anyone read so fucking deep into stuff. i’m sorry to tell you but we are like anyone else on this fucking planet capabel of think by ourselves. just because we see bill muray we are not sudenly beliveing in ghosts nor do we beleive that the way he acts is completly normal.
this is fiction and we understand that. you however seem to have a very hard time diferinciating between fact and fiction.
“faith” and “rightousness” isn’t something that means anything to us. well actually it kinda does by now. it’s horrible values that make you put ideals over happines and your belif of what is right over common sense. your faith is what is truely destorying this world. open your eyes and start thinking for yourself a bit. blind hate won’t get you far nor will you many conspiracy theories. nobody is out for you personally but some of us like to enjoy life and we may like to do it in ways you might not enjoy. just like you find peace in the bible we find peace in comedy. you are so blind so selfabsorbed taht you can’t even begin to understand others fellings.
if you are not going to let us enjoy our life then explain to me why we should not devote our lives to burn bibels and beat up christians. why should we not insult you? why should we not fight against you when you fight against us? why are we not alowed to do to you what you do to us?

Jazze is right.
You must’ve either graduated from troll university or been dropped on your head by your mother when you were small. To rail against a comedic genius like Bill and comparing him to one of the horsemen of the apocalypse, one of the reasons ‘America’ is declining, is pure madness. While I usually do not begrudge anyone their invisible sky fairy, I do begrudge you it. Another overbearing, fear-mongering, moralising, god-preaching e-hypocrite with nothing better to do than to allude to the decline of their faith and blame it on some idiotic cause. That’s you.
I mean come on.. Bill Murray? Seriously? Have you run out of subjects to ridicule? Surely you can find another nipple-slip scandal that will corrupt kids across the nation and turn them away from ‘the true faith’? Teddybears called Jesus? No?
You might well think: ‘Obviously people agree with me, look at the number of hits I’ve gotten today’. Nothing can be further from the truth. Your article’s been posted on reddit under the ‘funny’ section. And it is funny. Schadenfreude always is.
Good day to you, sir.

Self-evident? If your thesis was that you’re past bat-shit insane, then by all means it’s self-evident. You’re hating on Bill Murray why? Hell, when you insult Betty White or the Golden Girls or anyone else, you actually HAVE a reason. Granted, it’s a terrible reason and one that shows a moron you are, but this? This is just ludicrous. He’s a hero to hipsters? Other than the fact that you can’t define ‘hipster’ properly, he hasn’t done jack. He isn’t that active in Hollywood anymore, his biggest roles in the past couple years were an animated badger, the mayor of an underground city, and an animated fat cat. He’s getting to be an old man and you’re doing nothing but harassing the guy.

All this support for the Hollywood liberal establishement. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised.
What’s so wrong with standing up for something good for America? We are in the worst economic downturn since the great depression and you’re defending a bum of an actor because it fits your image of your selves?
I bet you all drank Obama’s kool aid, too. How’s that working out for you? Seen the latest jobs numbers? Signing up for some free health care?
Liberals are completely out of touch with how the natural world and the world of man works and would just as soon betray the efforts of our nation rather than own up to reality. Humankind will never overcome it’s darkest elements. It can only recognize and confront them with a clear perception. That clarity is important.
The real world is a hard, dangerous place, with pockets of relative stability. The liberals have allowed the privlege and success bought by earlier generations to completely skew their perceptions and responsiblities that they are now called upon to use. Instead you’re sitting on your hands and your president is sitting on his hands as our the people with fame and money. I have no respect for what the people of Hollywood are now doing to this country.

Divisiom103, Thank you for the comment and for your support. It is quite hypocritical that today’s democrats are so willing to hand out welfare and health care, yet want nothing to do with the actual grind of the economy, making our businesses grow, reducing taxes, etc. Instead we send $32 million to Kenya for an election! Obama does this knowing his liberal patsies are powerless to say anything. They just want their Kagans in the Court. Of all these spammers and pranskters commenting here, I wonder how many of them have ever had a blue collar job? Probably very few my friend.
Are you a veteran? I want to gratefully thank you for your service if you are. You are truly fighting to save America’s soul.
God bless the United States Military and God Bless America!

I love it how an innocent soul, such as Mr. Murray, can run your heart through a such a dilapidated state that you can’t just deal with what makes most people happy in this world. Instead you rant to all the pathetic close minded lemmings out their who live by following mommy and daddy’s morbid beliefs, and you try to sway their minds into an even deeper mindscrew, bringing up this irrelevant man’s work dating all the way back to 1980. If you seriously don’t have anything else to pick on besides a 30 year old comedy, perhaps you should just drop the cue card rhetoric, and look at your own favorable sources. The Passion of The Christ is the first film you listed on your perfect portrayals of ‘the Christian message.’ A film directed by a man who told his wife that “if she got raped by a pack of niggers it wouldn’t be his fault”. A man who is under investigation for domestic violence, and who admits to hitting her as well as threatening to kill her.
Yes, the perfect Christian message in my opinion too…. hypocrisy.

Steve, you are neglecting one film – Groundhog Day. Bill Murray is the lost soul, who finds redemption by trying, over and over. He does wrong, and it gets him nowhere. Eventually, he tries to do good, and finds life. What more Christian message could you ask for, from Hollywood?

“Grounhog Day” is a Buddhist (pagan) movie. It is based on the mistaken
idea that to be saved, all we have to do is do the same things over and

Stephen and Bill I hear ya about this terrorist Bill Murray. He was a terrorist bomber long before the muslims got wind of the religious practice. Murray was bombing those cuddley furry cute little critters to strike fear into grounghog nation causing them to cower in fear. You cant even get down a grounghog run anymore without going through full body scans, frikies, sniffed, proded and metal detectored. I hear there are long lines in every run in every hog community. Things are at a standstill and they are not alright.

Dear Fucker that wrote this & Stephenson Billings,
While it is true that people are entitled to their own opinions, you have just lost that privilege. You have proven, time and time again, with your articles and comments on this website that you are not clear minded, rational human beings. Bill Murray is an actor. And he is a very good one at that. And if you cannot enjoy movies like Groundhog Day or The Life Aquatic because you find them morally and religiously offensive, then you must have a very hard time finding happiness in life. Work on your sense of humor. Its 2010. Wake up.
Sincerely,
God

Seeking salvation? The sooner you accept Bill Murray as your personal saviour and let him into your heart, the sooner salvation shall be yours!!! Personally, this notion is a little bit less ridiculous than all that jesus christ mumbo jumbo. News flash: Jesus, if he did exist (which I am relatively sure that he in fact did), was nothing more than the world’s first charismatic lunatic. Don’t give me all this bull about hollywood and Bill Murray morally corrupting our youth. WE are morally corrupting our youth. Many PARENTS fail to instill proper morals in their children. Instead of playing the blame game and seeking scapegoats (which in this case is a STREEEETCH), why don’t we work harder to EDUCATE our children and encourage them to ask questions and use their conscience? Oh wait, I forgot, questions aren’t allowed..we are supposed to blindly stumble along the path of the worlds first charismatic lunatic…we all know how that usually ends up (see: Holocaust). Moral corruption very often stems from the very institutions that claim to fight it (and often in the worst ways). Until this fact is no longer true, your words mean nothing. Clean up the garbage, allow people to question their existence in this universe, encourage people to use their moral sense or right and wrong to guide them (instead of the Bible’s moral sense of right and wrong) and them maybe we can talk. Much love.

Craig, your facile attempt at idolatry is rather symptomatic of the childishness I am trying to address here. Are you in your 20s or 30s or even older? Don’t you think it’s rather silly that you worship some silly little man that you’ve never met but have just read about in the newspaper because he sounds cool? Bill Murray is not the character he plays in the movies. He is a man who lusts for money and fame above all else. Inside, he is just as corrupt as any man in Hollywood. Now do you still want to spend your adult life giving Murray your money? Don’t you feel the slightest bit guilty of ashamed of yourself? it’s time you 20-somethings grow up and face the facts.

Don’t you think it’s silly to interpret literally and base your entire existence off of a book that was written close to 2000 years ago by bigoted and fanatical patriachs who voted on its content? You sir are an irrational lunatic. In legal terminology, you suffer from an insane delusion, one which is essentially a false belief that is not rationally based on any real life evidence. You read a book, about a man, who everyone had a million different stories about. A book was then written about this man and the things he did, that was written by people later who did not witness anything he did or hear anything he said. If you want to truly be Christ-like, then you should only hang out in all male groups of apostles who shun their families and talk about loving everyone despite their wrongdoing. I don’t know about who you hang out with, but your words are very clearly un-Christ-like in their message of ostracising and hating Bill Murray. There is a special place in hell (if there really is one) for people like you who claim to follow “the word”, but who in reality have perverted it into its own peculiar type of evil.

Stephenson,
I am young. I don’t believe my exact age has much to do with anything. I noticed the only response you made to my post involved asking my age and labeling me a child for my “facile idolatry.” For the record, I do not worship Bill Murray. He is a funny man sometimes. A comedian. Nothing more. I do spend money to see him in a movie on occasion, and as a result Mr. Murray ends up with a fraction of that money in his pocket. I feel no shame for this. I suppose my assumption that an esteemed writer such as yourself must possess a sense for literary sarcasm was a bad one. I could honestly care less about Bill Murray. I am more concerned about the general opinions and attitudes of followers of christ. Bible fever has given the majority of you holy zombies an extremely inflated sense of self-righteousness that leaves me feeling queasy. Always afraid to ask the difficult questions. Always searching out the next target. All smoke an mirrors, distracting people from seeing life for what it really is. Dodging this scandal and that one. I’m a child? You sir are the true child. I examine the world, I explore every possibility, I consider anything possible. You operate on blind faith alone. I know that the notion of blind faith seems noble to you and your fellow followers, but it is terribly dangerous. You spoon feed your readers false-facts and hatred in it’s purest form. You are a fear-mongerer, nothing more. For myself, I’ll take Bill Murray. Do not bother with a reply unless you plan to address every point mentioned. I don’t mind if you call me names (as I have obviously done in this statement) and shoot down my every thought, but please address this post as a whole if you plan to address it at all. I can see straight through your tactical avoidance of specific issues. Don’t just slap a label on me and snub your “dignified” nose at my apparent love for Bill Murray. Do it again and everyone will see you as just another religious nut that keeps missing the point. Do yourself a favor, get out of your own way, and enjoy.
Most Sincerely,
Craig

– So Hollywood Idolatry is ‘bad’ when we are ‘worshipping’ at the feet of Bill Murray, but it’s okay when they share your values.
– Also this single line in one of your replies either proves you as an obvious troller or the most completely out-of-touch person on the planet:
“There is far too much negativity coming out of Hollywood, even when something like the Passion comes along and shows how profitable good, solid and positive Christian messages can be.”
– Finally, using the fact that there are no fan websites devoted to him perhaps denotes the biggest philosophical difference I see going on between the sides in this debate. Maybe, just maybe that’s perfect proof against your thesis. Maybe, that’s a sign that people who respect Bill Murray are exactly the type of people that DON’T get caught up in things like Hero Worship, you know, the way you guys talk about Ronald Reagan. Just because your theology happens to be one that is wrapped around the idea of “worship” does not mean that anyone who sees qualities in someone that they admire (for instance, just being a gifted comedic actor) automatically wants to supplant the “idols” values for their own. Clear-cut ‘projection’ plain and simple.

First of all Ronald Reagan profoundly effected this country for the better, you can’t disregard that. And secondly, what’s wrong with the Passion of The Christ?

“The pattern is familiar to criminologists and it’s not hard to draw similarities to the lives of Jeffrey Dahlmer or John Wayne Gacy.”

I would hope that you could approach me with a little more respect in the future, Claire, but I will respond to your lengthy comment nonetheless. What I have written is not slander, it is reporting. My facts are correct and because you simply disagree with them from the comfort of your own home is meaningless to me. Clearly I have touched a nerve here with this article and yes, I do not have any respect for what this man does nor what he represents. That should be clear. It is not slander to speak up, and speak out against injustice. The Hollywood lberal machine has shoved too many charalatans down our throats for too long. Those of us who are good, hard working and loving Americans are not included in the lamestream media and their pro-homosexual, pro-socialist agenda. And do you know what? We’re getting fed up! We have a right to speak out because this is OUR country too! We have a right to voice our opinions and who in the world are you to stomp in here and say that my free speech is not allowed and label (falsely) anything I say slander? You are really dragging the bottom of a dirty sea with that immature and pointless attack. That’s all you people do, scream in bullhorns when it’s someone you’re protesting against but the minute a conservative tries to open his mouth and you either drown him out with your lies or claim harassment. It’s a tired plan from your liberal playbook and those of us on the right are tired of it. I do hope you can see some of the points I’ve made here and I don’t want to sound all too negative. Some times it takes awhile to meet on terms and I am grateful that this discussion is ongoing. We really need more direct communication about morality in this country. God bless!

Many have witnessed the look Stephenson Billings gives young men out of the corner of his eye. A gentle glance, beckoning them closer. Billings lures these innocent teens into dark corners, bathrooms, perhaps an empty room, and does the unthinkable. He claims to be a pious man but in his heart he is full of lust for the rippling abs of teenage boys. Billings is nothing more than a child of Sodom.

I have a real problem with the way Mr. Billings here quotes the bible. I myself am a Jew, born and raised, and we are taught not to blindly follow the “old testament” as you Christian bastards have labeled our Torah, but we interpret it and learn from it. The old testament was not meant to be quoted and used as a weapon, but to help you live your life. And what is this guys problem with Bill Murray. I’m pretty sure preists are known as pedophiles, not comedians/actors. And what’s up with the way he’s all America is great and Christian. It’s a land for religious freedom, for Hindus, atheists, Jews, bhuddists, Christians, or whoever the hell else writes a book about a dude and follows it. It’s not just for Christians. And lastly, what was all that bullshit about him looking at you all sex-rapy like a rat? That isn’t true! There isn’t any evidence that is complete bull.

As an ex-journalist I feel it is important to share with you a little wisdom. If you’re going to claim something as ‘Fact’ not slander it is recommended (by recommend I mean absolutely necessary) that you use sources.

Mike, Claire, Comedian: yes there are some people who cross the line but most of us are passionate about our love of Christ and feel the urgent need to share this with the world. It’s just not a simple case of telling a friend a story, it’s fighting every day in the trenches to save souls and ultimately save the human race. Yes, we need to be redeemed, we need to be held accountable for our sins, we need to make America and the rest of the world a better place. Why do you think there is so much suffering in this world, so many catastrophes from earthquakes to fires and floods? We are on the verge of annihilation here and I know that sounds harsh to you people but truly the Christian community is only trying to save your souls. Yes We Can Make This World a Better Place! We can do so, so much more but it must begin with accepting Jesus Christ as your own personal Lord and Savior. I believe in your redemption.

We were on the verge of annihilation just over 4 years ago…then 6 years before that…then every time someone took over the Office…then during (insert war here)…then-screw it, let’s just say we’ve been on the verge of annihilation since Jesus died. The whole idea is just insane that we’re at the edge. For one thing, NO ONE knows when the world will end or HOW. At best we have a theory that the Earth will blow up or dry up several millennia after humanity’s died out. How will we die out? Who knows.
//Why do you think there is so much suffering in this world, so many catastrophes from earthquakes to fires and floods?//
Because shit happens. It’s not like there’s a storm of crap happening all the time, there are actual times during the year where floods happen more often as well as fire storms going off. As for fires that are more man made, there are many reasons for those: people are idiots and leave a flame open, someone trips and threw a convoluted series of events causes a house fire, someone assaults a home and burns it down or there’s some other chain of events that cause it. You’re so scared stiff you don’t want to look for the logical answers. You just want to say “GOD IS PISSED!” and let be at that, you just want reassurance from your friends that you’re right, and that’s it. You’re nothing but a scared child in this world that doesn’t look for answers or can’t fend for himself.

Hey blogger/author guy,
I find it interesting that as a Christian you haven’t drawn one of these individuals to yourself through your words. When Jesus spoke he spoke with such compassion that people were drawn to him.
The only people that Jesus spoke even remotely harshly against were the religious leadership. He wouldn’t have blogged about people like Bill Murray. Instead, he would have gone and eaten with him in his home.
Yet, you spend your days railing against people such as he and judging him for his actions.
If you are a Christ-follower, why are not attracting more of these readers to your message? I believe it is because there is no hope in your message.Your message is nothing but hate mongering. No one is struck by conviction. Instead, they think you are a lunatic.
I think that maybe you should put on a different pair of ‘lenses’ and then come back and read the Gospels.
Hey, but what do I know? I am one of those ‘liberal’ Christians.

Not one theme of religion or anything close to it in that movie. The only Christians I take seriously are the ones who practice the love and tolerance that they preach. You will never EVER get one person to agree with what you’re saying in your entire lifetime (I guarantee it) if you say the bible is all about love and then practice THIS much ignorance and offensiveness. So go ahead and waste your time being so damn negative and thick-skulled, I think people like you are far more evil than those who you try to defame.

Brother Tim, at this point I am starting to suspect that it is true this is a site built for satire. If so, you’re doing damage to the ministry in a trojan horse. If not however, calling Bill Murray names won’t solve anything. If someone were trapped in a burning building, would you try to resuce him, or stand outside yelling at him for being there in the first place? What would the end result be? It’d be fruitless. IF Mr. Murray is guilty of anything he’s been accused of, this is not the way to approach it. You should be actively intercessing for him in prayer for Christ to rescue his soul; to save a life. If he is this influential, imagine how many who are lost among our youth could be changed if they saw the change Jesus Christ brought to Bill’s life.
The bible has a lot to say about the tounge. Here’s a quote from James:5-6:(I used the New International Version this time for better understanding) Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
That’s pretty severe.
Here is an excerpt I found about the proud tounge (link at the end): …Psalm 12:3-4 says, “The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?” The most annoying Christians in the world are those with proud tongues because a proud tongue usually comes with two closed ears! Proud- tongued Christians are generally so full of themselves that they learn very little from anyone else. A proud-tongued Christian will talk much of his knowledge and service, but very little about the Lord.
In a church, a proud-tongued Christian will make all sorts of suggestions about how the church should function, yet his suggestions, if received, will place burdens on everyone but himself. A proud- tongued Christian is hard to teach or reason with because he thinks he knows everything.
Friend, God hates a proud tongue. Allow the Holy Spirit to use your tongue in the way of humility and kindness because pride will only quench God’s Spirit and damage your testimony.
Brother Tim, I have had no success in trying to be a peacekeeper here, so this will be my last post. I’ve posted rebuttals to the author of this article, but have gotten nowhere. As such, this post while it would be nice if were to serve for your benefit, is more to serve for the benefit of those to whom you’ve managed to damage your testimony. There’s still time to correct that mistake, though. Mr. Billings should write an adendum addressed to Mr. Murray himself, to apologize. I don’t think he has that much humility, though.

The problem with comparing that to the US is that the US has more than 300 million people from a huge variety of economic backgrounds.

Uh, we only got into wars because someone decide to essentially leave a dog turd on fire on our porch. Up until then, we only kept to ourselves. Remember ‘Nam? If that wasn’t a perfect example of why we shouldn’t go around butting our noses into other people’s business, then the only thing I can think of is the war your ex-lover Bush started when he was in office since the shit hit the fan faster by 10 fold. We weren’t defending anyone other than ourselves, and we essentially only one because we threw a cheap shot at our enemies, especially in WWII where we nuked Japan twice and because we got in so late to the war, we were fresh in soldiers, moral, and supplies while everyone else was dwindling.

What, are you a Native American? Did your great-great-great-great-great gran’ dad hunt buffalo before the White Man came over? You’re just as European as anyone else living in America unless your family descended straight from the natives. The Cold War was also just one giant-stand off. At some point, everyone said ’screw this’ and left. No one was firing any guns or missiles until someone else did, which was a loop that never got started. There were no winners or losers, unless you count the total evasion of a full-on nuclear war as a win, in which case we were all winners. America isn’t some ‘chosen one’ when it comes to countries, we just got lucky at everything. Then we started waving our dicks around and got kicked in the gonads hard and (should have) learned our lesson: don’t dick around with another country if they didn’t dick around with us. As for Europe not doing anything lately? Do you WANT them to go into wars that they have no business in? Did you COMPLETELY forget that we trade with them, alongside the rest of the world? Your mentality is what’s causing the American stereotype, get off your Eagleland high-horse and do some damn research instead of butt-fucking your boyfriend while saying you’re straight and reading the bible for random quotes to throw at people.

This is what all fundamentalist Christians say, but let’s be serious! You start all this by doing only what God can do: judging a person’s heart. And then when people start heaping criticisms upon you the only thing you can do is say that you are a martyr for Christ!
Be honest with yourself man! You are not serving Christ in this. Christ did not come to rail against perversions. He came, was born in a lowly manger, grew up and served humanity. His compassion was a conduit to action.
He stayed away from politics and when the disciples tried to press him into that arena he stood firm.
So go, find a different vocation. Try compassion. Go serve the poor or the marginalized. Be compassionate. Live the verses you just quoted above and stop this foolishness here. Because truly, you are driving people further away from Christ by the words that you write.

Thanks for mocking my faith and showing the average level of disrespect of young people have for Christianity.
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.” –Psalm 23.

I believe in the values Christianity is based on and I use the Bible as a guide.
However, you sir are a fuckwitt.
You are the kind of Bellend who shouts hellfire, brimstone and BULLSHIT over nothing and claim it is your faith which leads you on… well guess what…
Your attempt at a Pacifistic style of the spanish inquisition of hollywood is an EPIC FAIL!
Its people like you who make the lives of other Christians really testing.
You make the faith look like some kind of joke by posting all this ridiculous crap, and they trying to use your faith to back it up… Guess what, I like Bill Murray and so do most of the priests I know.
Basically, stop using your faith to spread bullshit messages of hate please.
Start using your faith to heal.
For all of us who become judged because of people like you.

Some of it, maybe, but Stevie defends it so ferociously that it CAN’T be satire, and if it is, then it’s past the point of acceptability. Abe, Amber, and Dan (along with a couple others) are dumb enough to pass off as satirical since anyone with half a brain cell knows that the crap they report is incredibly stupid and false. Stevie, the prominent voice of the writers here, is so caught up in this that there’s no way in hell he CAN’T be a satire, he looped past crazy and when you read his stuff, the horror dawns on you that he isn’t joking.

That’s the thing about Stevie, he’s like a trolling paradox. You’d think there’s no way that he can be serious about this, but he’s taken so much of an effort to convince people that he is; yet at the same time, he’s taken some incredibly stupid measures to do so, while also saying things that could get him in jail, something no troll would actually do without purpose. Just look at the case with Shat, who some considered to be a modern day version of the Modest Proposal, being so crazy that no one can take him serious, yet pushes the boundary past what people would think. Just replace Shat with Stevie and you have an idea of how odd this is. The people behind Abe and Amber and some of the others have to be jokes, no one could possibly say a game about raping a Native American is wholesome fun for the family, nor could anyone say that an English word means something radically different in another language and mean those things seriously (especially with how little they defend themselves, it’s easy to see how they’re a parody or satire of how people thing). Stevie seems like he came to a costume party where everyone had to dress up in church clothes and he’s the only one taking it seriously.

Unless this “Stephenson Billings” character is some sort of deep satirical fiction, Facebook profile and all, then I think we may have located the craziest idiot on the planet. I’m just floored.
If the whole personality is satire, then it’s brilliant, if a bit too subtle. In his Facebook profile, activities include “Sarah Palin” and “clowns” — a clever comparison. And one of his only two entries for “Movie” is “Stephen Baldwin.” Between that and the “motivational children’s party entertainer” thing, I really have to wonder if it’s all an elaborate hoax.
If you go tell someone that you found some guy online who actually likes Stephen Baldwin, no one will ever believe you…

Thank you again Stephenson for bringing this matter to light. It just goes to show that it’s not always the most obvious enemies of Christ that are the most dangerous. As Matthew 7:13 says “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.” I think the meaning of that passage is pretty obvious- the road to Hell is an easy one and it’s exactly the one that Bill Murray and the sneering hipsters following his apathetic example have chosen to follow.
I can only pray that your sagacious advice sticks in some of their pot-addled brains and that at least a few may come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
As usual your words cause me to think. I was preparing a sermon for Sunday morning based on interpreting Lamentations in relation to Biblical prophecy, however I now think I might change that to one on the dangers of apathy and slacking and the need for appropriate role models and save Lamentations for another day. I think that’s more likely to get them talking and I can take tomorrow off to play golf.

Hi Barry, I see from your site you are some sort of new age scientist. I do not have much faith in that approach to life and I do think there are harmful beliefs hiding in that marketplace so I would caution you to be conscious.
And yes, I have confronted and confessed my own sins. It is a truly gut wrenching experience but has brought me much closer to Jesus Christ. As for your general question/topic, I will pose a question to you that I pose to many: If we are not allowed to condemn vile acts or even discuss another’s morality, would we then simply let the pedophiles and murderers in our midst run free simply because we are told not to “judge” them? That is a profoundly misunderstood teaching of the Bible.
Of course we must be vigilant and righteous in our lives and we must share that love of Jesus with others. If no one points out sin in our midsts, who will?
And no, I am not a joke, thanks for the childish insult. The spammers here will say anything to discredit the idea that I actually believe in something. Why is that so hard to comprehend?

//Hi Barry, I see from your site you are some sort of new age scientist. I do not have much faith in that approach to life and I do think there are harmful beliefs hiding in that marketplace so I would caution you to be conscious.//
Because you think ANY idea or thought other than “follow god and jesus in the way of Christianity” is something you don’t have much faith in and tell people to get out of.
//As for your general question/topic, I will pose a question to you that I pose to many: If we are not allowed to condemn vile acts or even discuss another’s morality, would we then simply let the pedophiles and murderers in our midst run free simply because we are told not to “judge” them? That is a profoundly misunderstood teaching of the Bible.//
We judge crimes, not sins. Killing a man in cold blood or raping a child is a crime, being gay is not. You and your God may think that killing and raping are not sins and that being gay is, but a crime does not equal a sin.
//Of course we must be vigilant and righteous in our lives and we must share that love of Jesus with others. If no one points out sin in our midsts, who will?//
The only one who has that right, the very being you follow. Again, you judge sins while others judge crimes yet compare the two as one in the same when they are not.
//And no, I am not a joke, thanks for the childish insult. The spammers here will say anything to discredit the idea that I actually believe in something. Why is that so hard to comprehend?//
You are a joke, you can’t formulate or grasp any kind of concept, if words get too big for you, you run with your tail between your legs, you can’t define words or people properly, you go against the very teachings of Christ and believe you are the only one in the right. For one thing, spammers are people who put up random crap or advertisements. I don’t recall your major opponents putting up an ad for some other site or product or anything. Second, what you believe in is drastically different from what you think you’re following. The words you’re following are only yours, misconstrued and demented versions of the word of God and Christ, with your typical random bible quote being something of a shield for you to hide behind in your insane beliefs that you are right while the reality is quite the opposite.

Stephenson, thanks for responding to my posts. No, I’m not a new age scientist; I’m an amateur scientist. It occurs to me that, just as it’s impossible to distinguish between a religious fundamentalist rant and a parody of a religious fundamentalist rant, it’s also difficult to distinguish between me and crackpot; my theories about migraine pathogenesis have some of the earmarks of a crank theory. I’ve gotten a lot of abuse while participating in online migraine forums, even though my topic is one that should be discussed rationally with a logical and scientific approach. Unfortunately people tend to resort to social tactics they’re more familiar with and skilled at: insults, bullying, ostracism, etc. At first I was shocked that so many people didn’t know how to participate in a civil discussion. Eventually I developed a thick skin, and became hard to provoke. When I read your replies to critics I see patience alongside the irascibility, which is a clue that you enjoy what you are doing.
(Abuse isn’t so nearly bad as being ignored.) I worked hard on my website and I can see you work hard on yours. But I don’t think I could diligently and stubbornly stay in character as you do. You are making an important point, but I know making that point isn’t easy.
If you want me to address Stephenson Billings’ point about “judge not” as if Billings is sincere, here goes:
Billings harsh judgment of others is inconsistent with Christian doctrine. Billings harshly judges Bill Murray, yet as a Christian Billings should be aware that he himself is a sinner and is no better than Murray, so has no right to judge Murray. Billings, like Murray, is a miserable sinner and will be saved solely by the grace of God. Should the Lord spare Billings, Billings cannot take any credit for earning his own salvation, since he doesn’t deserve salvation.
Regarding the problem of pedophiles and murderers running free in our midst: Yeah, that’s a problem, but it’s an earthly problem. Christians should not be concerned with earthly events, as earthly life is ephemeral. The soul is eternal, so Christians should always keep their eyes on Heaven. If a murderer wants to murder you, let him murder you and send you to God. Don’t resist violence; don’t defend yourself physically or in court.
Christ said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” Satan offered Christ all the kingdoms of the world, so apparently Satan owns all the kingdoms of the world. Christ does not rule the world; Satan does. Christians should therefore not be concerned with earthly politics. Satan rules this earth and you can’t change that by electing born-again Christians or by imposing an earthly theocracy.

THEN PRAY FOR HIM!!! Have you congregation pray for him, even better on a regular basis in a prayer group. You don’t have the power to save anybody. That’s God’s job; the Holy Spirit’s job. Write articles directed at his attention to communicate the truth to him.
1 Timothy 2:3-4 (King James Version) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
John 14:12-13 (King James Version)Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
You should know these things! I’m beginning to question your sincerity concerning this article. Was this satire, or were you being serious? If you’re being serious, please go to a Pastor before you damage any more opportunities for Christ to reach the lost. You’re turning people off left-and-right, and that is not the work of God, it does nothing to glorify him. So tell me, are you Jonah who asked the people in Nineveh (in this case, Bill Murray) to repent, or Eliphaz who misrepresented God. I think you’d better start reading about Eliphaz in the book of Job. God takes it very seriously, and is very displeased when his character is misrepresented.

In addition: You accused Bill Murray of being a murderer. Know who else was a murderer? The Apostle Paul. He killed Christians, before God got a hold of him on the road to Samaria. Think God can’t grab Bill Murray like that too, and reach others who are lost with his example? You would be quite wrong. Paul was God’s best apostle. Remember Mary Magdalene?

“Mike, Claire, Comedian: yes there are some people who cross the line but most of us are passionate about our love of Christ and feel the urgent need to share this with the world. It’s just not a simple case of telling a friend a story, it’s fighting every day in the trenches to save souls and ultimately save the human race. Yes, we need to be redeemed, we need to be held accountable for our sins, we need to make America and the rest of the world a better place. Why do you think there is so much suffering in this world, so many catastrophes from earthquakes to fires and floods? We are on the verge of annihilation here and I know that sounds harsh to you people but truly the Christian community is only trying to save your souls. Yes We Can Make This World a Better Place!

There is a sermon I heard yesterday, it was the second of two parts from Dr. David Jeremiah. The topic: Mudslinging. Your article achieves nothing. Instead of finding ways to sling mud at this man, why don’t you spend your time writing articles to get his attention and tell him about who Jesus Christ is, how He loves him, about His grace, and about what the 10 commandments were for? They aren’t rules to beat people with, they are to keep people from getting into trouble in their lives; from sin, and thereby farther away from a God who cannot accept sin, but with His own son created a bridge from man to Him, if they’ll walk it. Your article tells Bill Murray how you feel about him. It said nothing about how He feels about him. Instead of attacking him, try grouping together people who will PRAY AND INTERCESS FOR HIM. Interesting, Woodrow Kroll has been teaching a series about how Christ can’t even get into his own church because pride has taken eyes away from Christianity, and placed it on Churchianity. Satan loves Churchianity because it turns people away from God and leaves this vulnerable for him to lure and later devour. Before you preach Christ, I hope you know Christ, because I heard nothing of him in what you had to communicate. You need to read chapter 42, in the book of Job.

Well, I consider myself a Christian, and as such I follow Christ’s teachings. I believe his most important commandments were to love your neighbor and love Him. You are OBVIOUSLY not showing love towards people who do not “agree” with you. The Condemnation and Judgement that you put on people is actually a sin. You are not supposed to show hate, you are supposed to love everyone. I don’t see how you can call yourself a Christian. You are one of the most hateful and ignorant people I know of. Don’t get caught up in pointing fingers, why not love your enemies and show them Christ’s love through your own love?

So you’re idea of fixing what’s wrong is to hate everything even though you know that Christ said that hating is bad. This makes sense how?

That’s because fanatics and idiots like you are so incredibly vocal that non-Christians end up accidentally associating you with them and think all of them are like you, hate-filled and zealous beings who don’t follow the word of God correctly. That very section you just wrote is prime example. Everyone who’s a liberal or for gay marriage is a being of evil. To you, there is no middle ground, there’s no point the other side has that could make you re-think your values or make you say “you have a point, but” and then come with a rebuttal. It’s instantly “YOU’RE WRONG BECAUSE I SAID SO!” because that’s all your pathetic mind can come up with.

No, we should never be silent. But please remember, I think you have the wrong idea about how to approach the issue. One very important aspect you’ve forgotten here, is what this nation needs, and is starving for: The Word. “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 . It is then when Jesus is in the hearts of our nation’s people, that change will begin to happen “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 . In other words, the gospel, the truth, the Way! If you’re going to chastize someone, follow up with hope beyond condemnation with the gospel message of salvation by the power of Jesus Christ who has the authority to forgive all sins. “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-4

wow, this post was so far over-the-top… I’m guessing that you may be someone who wishes they could enjoy life like Bill Murray, is but are not. Bill Murray is actually a wonderful guy from all I can tell, believe it or not. He tells jokes and makes people laugh. You’re entitled to your faith, for sure, but .. um..
“never moral or compassionate”. Um, have you seen Groundhog day? You should. Also not everyone in Williamsburg is living off their parent’s money — there are many great folks there with pure hearts.
I think you seriously should consider how compassionate you’re being towards other people.. maybe then you’ll let yourself enjoy life a bit more and be more compassionate towards yourself..
peace, my incredibly misguided friend.

You’re in love with an image, a man on the screen. You don’t know Bill Murray, you know the Hollywood marketers pre-packaged product. It is hollow, false and you are being cheated my friend.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” –Matthew 7:15, (which follows a verse one of you posted earlier and yes, it is an important part for teaching and learning).

God knows the real Billy Murray. He is not an image to Him, he is a prescious creation who He wants to call son. I wish that’s what you would have spent your time talking about. This reminds me so much, of a funeral I atteneded a couple of years ago. My step-Grandmother (who I loved very dearly) passed away. Her youngest son, and his family were athiests, although she’d spent her whole life trying to raise him with the knowledge of God in his life. A lot of bad things happened that broke his heart, he blamed God, abandoned God, and later denied God. At her funeral, part of me was really excited. “FINALLY, WE’VE GOT EVERYBODY IN A CHURCH”, Maybe the Holy Spirit will reach somebody here, and hit a home run to rescue this family”. I was thinking, until the preacher began to speak. He sobbed and screamed, pointed his finger though the whole service, part of it wasn’t even comprehended for all of his antics. To be honest, I left wide-eyed and OH, I was so disappointed!!! What a wonderful opportunity for Christ….wasted. At this service, Jesus Christ was never able to get in, His message was squandered because the preacher failed to recognize an opportunity for Christ and instead focused it on himself. For all his antics, I don’t remember a thing he said. My uncle died a few years later, of a sudden heart-attack. He had just started listening to my Step-Dad, who was still trying his best to talk to him about God in his life. Now, he’s living the rest of his life not knowing where his brother is. Losing someone who you love to hell, now that’s torture…for the dead, and the living. He tried so hard not to blame God, he seems to have finally found some peace, but he will wear those scars on his heart for the rest of his life.
I wish so badly, that your article would have been to say: “Hey, Bill Murray: Jesus loves you. He wants to know you. I know some people will think I’m a kook for witnessing to you this way, but shame on them, not on me. I hope you’ll let me tell you about this man…..” And then, you (and possibly a group of others agree in prayer for him. Please, work to bring souls to Christ, not to repel them. This is all about Him, all about relationship, about CHRISTianity, not about Churchianity; that’s, where “religion” sets itself into the picture.

With all due respect to your profession and religion:
You have not written an un-biased review of facts here. I would be the first to argue that you have every right to have this opinion. However, to present it as anything remotely resembling fact makes a mockery of the field of journalism you claim to participate in.
Sentences like, “There is no denying that this grotesque and dangerous creature can be described as nothing less than one of the four horsemen of America’s impending Apocalypse.” are nothing short of shameful. Honestly, you should be ashamed to call this journalism with any kind of straight face.
At its best, you have practiced blatant sensationalism. At worst, you are dressing thinly veiled insults and ad hominem attacks as facts and inevitabilities.
When you can present a reasoned argument founded upon impartial evidence that Bill Murray is destroying our society, I will listen. Until then, anything else you share will just be written off as so much drivel.
Fortunately, most of the readers here seem to agree with me, albeit with varying degrees of disrespect and ad hominem attacks of their own.

You don’t even bother reading what people say anymore do you? Or did you even read it all in the first place. You made NO comment about what he said, yet you made a direct reply to him. You’ve also yet to prove how Bill Murray is destroying the world. Just because you said so, or you were told by a little voice in your head, doesn’t make it true.

Comedy: I did read his comment but it was the same old liberal lefty chatter that’s been repeated here a million times. What offended me was that he called this article a “review” like some silly movie review for Extra! I am sick of being misrepresented and yes I do read your insane comments as well but do I have the time to respond to each and every ridiculous example of circular failed logic? Why do you think I am here to do your bidding, to entertain you? I respond to defend and clarify my prose, do you understand that? I don’t have an obligation to respond but I do because I care. I care about explaining myself and getting people to udnerstnad where I’m coming from and my faith. And plus, I don’t type as fast as you with your loose fingers.

Well, you aren’t a journalist, and this place doesn’t amount to much more than a blog, so you can’t say that he’s in the wrong.
//I am sick of being misrepresented and yes I do read your insane comments as well but do I have the time to respond to each and every ridiculous example of circular failed logic?//
Where’s an internet mirror when you need one? Why not look at your own views. You believe in God because the bible says so. So why does the bible says God exists? Because it does. You talk about circular logic when you’re nothing but a snake eating it’s own tail-end since it’s one line curved.
//Why do you think I am here to do your bidding, to entertain you? I respond to defend and clarify my prose, do you understand that? I don’t have an obligation to respond but I do because I care.

You wanna be taken seriously as a journalist, you have to not only defend your views, but also prove you’ve done research. So far, you’ve only done half those things, and you fail miserably at it as well. And loose fingers? Was that meant to be an insult? You really have gone and lost it, haven’t you?
As far as getting people to understand where you’re coming from, you’ll need a damn time-travel machine to take people back to when the freakin’ KKK were around more often than today. Your ideas are outdated and you haven’t got the clue that you’re wrong and that you need to change how you look at things.

The left/Holywood types view the rest of the country (except LA & New York) as a vast wasteland. Bunch of crazy Teabaggers.
Explains why there no where to be found when this economy is in the tank and we have a jobs crisis. Do you know how many Americans are in serious need right now? Are the actual people of Hollywood doing anything?
Celebs and their liberal worshippers give a far less percentage than conservatives and believe that taxes are required rather than Christian charity & intervention through local churches. All that money and power and they do nothing.
For all the TALK from the libs who is in Haiti doing the real work? Who was there BEFORE the earthquake took place? Do you even know?
The left believes that mandated taxes and government handouts offer the only solution because of their own greed and failure to offer themselves to help those in need.

Thanks for digging up the dirt on my face book profile. And no, I am not a fan of “Strangers With Candy.” Google “strangers with colbert” for the article I wrote about the show– I found that much of Stephen Colbert’s fake antics were derived from this show. I am members of some face book groups not out of support, but curiousity to monitor their activites or read something they may have written about me.

Matthew chapter 7 verse 1, “Judge not, that you be not judged”. Verse 2 “For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same measure you use, it will be measured back to you”.
You suck at Christianity.
And I can judge you because I don’t believe in fairy tales.
My advice, stop worrying about a guy you’ve never met and will never meet. You don’t know what he’s like at all. He could be a very kind and giving person. Or he could be a jerk. But I’m mature enough to admit I don’t know.
Instead of spitting hate maybe you could target your energy on helping the less fortunate? You know, like your god says to do.

It is a meaningful passage, thank you for bringing this up. As I have written about many times, “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things” does not mean Christians should be silent on the issues. Are we to stand quietly by when the rapists and murderers run our land? Should we bear silent witness to pedophilia and homosexaulity? Of course not and the Bible does not teach that in any way, shape or form. The verse in question invokes us to be as pure as we can be before we wade into the battlefield for the souls of others. I have my house in order, do you? And yes, I do think it’s a responsibility of us Christian-Americans to break free from liberal lamestream media oppression and speak out about our rights and our faith.

okay billings for once a fair argument. but then you have to realise that at much as you belive that you’ve done nothing wrong on your front and we have a lot to make up for so do we belive we have not made wrong and you have everything to make up for. it’s a matter of ideals and if you can’t accsept that we don’t share your ideals why should we even let you have them? why should we not fight your ideals the same you fight ours? and like that why shouldn’t the muslisms conteiue their terror attacks for the same cause? unless you can prove to me without a doubt that you are right and everyone else is wrong you can’t use that arguemnt. and no one have been able to do that for 1600 years(yes not 2000, 1600. thats how old your bible is).also how can you be so sure you haven’t misinterprited that line? or the entire bible for that matter? yes it is the word of god and thus can’t be wrong(asumeing he exists) but it is decoded by humans and those humans can make mistakes so yes your ideals can very well be misinterprited.

Bravo! You religious junkies always have something to say, even when you are not asked. Your two cents are usually always dirty and lacking any sort of luster, yet you always claim to shed light on things. That’s what I love about you shepherds. Alwas tending to your sheep, peparing them for slaughter. And you cannot spell slaughter without laughter, am I right?
Say what you want about Bill Murray, your opinion probably does not matter to him anyways. I am more concerned about your sense of reason, logic, and overall people skills. Everyone is a sinner, except YOU, doc! God must be so proud to have you on his side, speaking for him. If he disagreed with you, he would certainly let you know now wouldn’t he?
It’s people like you, who spit discrimination, lies, hatred, and self-righteousness into the faces of your fellow man whose beliefs and values would be different than yours, that makes this country a fine place to dwell. Thank you for doing your part in continuing an age-old hypocrisy, and I will be seeing you soon!
P.S. Don’t lie, we all know you absolutely adore watching Strangers with Candy!
