There has been some great attention brought to Hollywood by the foul mouth comedian Kathy Griffin during her Emmy Award when she bawdy stated. "While others might think Jesus for such an honor, I wouldn't consider it". "Suck It Jesus," waving her statuette in the air. "This award is my God now."
Immediately the outrage was also heard from the Christian community as they protested. After some college girls heard her exclamation the college atheists purchased a domain name at the web site suck it jesus.
Let me warn you in advance that this sight is not for the faint of heart and easily offended person. The language, hatred and criticism of Christians is the carrot that is leading to Church shootings like the one in CO the other day by a 24 year old man filled with hatred.
Hollywood embraces and condones such antics in the name of free speech which is why many in Hollywood think they are beyond the law of morals and live in a different world of Babylon. Jesus said, "If they hated me. They will hate you because you are not of this world as I am not of this world."
This type of rheteric and out spoken hatred for Christianity is not going to go away any time soon. The anger from the liberals and religious groups would have been tremendous if this had been "suckitmohammad" or suckitbudda" but Christianity is open season. One of the reasons is that many so called Christians join in the same foul mouth attacks as the atheists with name calling, hatred, and threats. The atheists then perceive that all Christians are the same.
Read what one of the posts I copied had to say.(Copied as written with misspellings)
Kathy Griffin Rocks. I've always loved her and her show "My Life On The D-List" since this so called scandal I love her even more.
It's truly amazing that these christians love to tell everyone that doesn't believe how they are going to hell etc, but should we say something negative about them or their fairy god, they start with the death threats and the profane language. They are laughable, matter of fact I laughed as I read some of the posts from the christians -- the o so loving christians. You people are hypocrites, liars, and sheeple. You are pathetic losers who can't think for yourselves, can't live for yourselves and if you don't have a fairy god in the sky to threaten you, you can't be decent..oh wait you are still not decent. Pathetic Losers.
SUCKITJESUS!
However there are also millions whose lives have been changed in homosexuality, prison, drugs and alcohol and terrorism through the gospel message. God does change lives and hearts if we will let him. As free agents in humanity, that is our choice and our decision, to either shake our fists at those who hate us or to kneel at the foot of the cross and realize that we are saved by grace and deserved to die there instead.
The recent display of the Kansas baptist church carrying signs with their stabbing at dead soldiers, killing homosexuals and God laughs at the destruction of individuals, has brought more disgrace to the Christian community. The fall of some great television evangelists and church sexual antics have added to the plight of hatred toward Christ and those who love him.
As I write this, I have Jail ministry tonight as I have for over four years. I want to give these men and women a chance to follow their own hearts or allow the Love of Jesus Christ to change the way they live. It should be their decision and their choice. But how can they know except first someone tells them and gives them the opportunity to make that choice.
Remember! As Christians. Our job is to keep the first commandment and the second will follow. I believe Jesus gave us the perfect parable when he talked about the wheat and the weeds. Let them both grow until the harvest time. Then I (Christ)will send in my angles to gather the wheat into my barn. Then and only then will I pull up the weeds, bundle them together and cast them into the fire. Our decision is to choose him and his decision is to separate what he wants in the hearts of men and who wants him because they recognize his truth which is shown in love. St John 3:16
The following is also a testimonial from the same web site copied as written. ______________________________________________________________________________
TESTIMONEY FOR THE LORDS GOODNESS
After 29 years as a gay activist, former lesbian magazine publisher Charlene Cothran stunned the homosexual community when she announced she had become a Christian.
She has renounced her homosexuality, and changed the format of her magazine to spread the Gospel to the gay community.
As a gay rights activist, Cothran was never afraid to fight for what she believed in. For 30 years, she was as vocal and in your face as they come.
She organized and marched with other lesbians in gay rights parades. And as editor-in-chief of Venus magazine , a national gay and lesbian publication, she wasn't about to change -- until something happened at a gay pride celebration that she never expected.
"In 2003, I was in Chicago at a gay pride event, in the middle of this beautiful park," Cothran recalled. "I took a panoramic view, and as far as I could see there were men with men and women with women, all just partying and having a good time. But a shame fell on me, I felt so out of place. I knew something in my spirit spoke that, 'this is that road that leads to destruction, and you're on it.'"
It took several years to come to terms with this vision, and during that time Cothran continued to publish her gay and lesbian magazine. But she couldn't escape the message she'd heard that day in 2003.
She said, "I kept myself busy with marches and activism and public appearances. But in the still of the night when everything is over, there was still that little voice, "You're not right with God."
Cothran says she longed for peace, but even in the midst of a long-term relationship, she felt intense loneliness. She'd grown up in a Christian home, and had come into the lesbian lifestyle at 19, after several bad relationships with boys.
"I didn't want anything to do with men anymore," she said. "I was away at college and that was a whole new world, and in that world there were many, many women who were attracted to me, and, of course, I was attracted to them. And these women were nurturing, wanted to get to know me intellectually -- they were organizers whom I found a lot of comfort in. It felt good, it felt right."
But it didn't feel right anymore. Then in June 2006, local Pastor Vanessia Livingston of Miracle Deliverance Church called Cothran, regarding an article in one her publications. She didn't know anything about Cothran's life and proceeded to talk to her about God.
Livingston asked Cothran, "What are you going to do about your life?" Then she told her, "'You need to get your life together.' Cothran said, 'I'm in the life.' I said, 'Yes, I know, that's why I'm talking to you, but you don't have to stay in the life. You can be delivered today, right now, right where you are.'"
They talked for awhile and Cothran remembers her words: "I can tell that you want to come back to God, but you feel unworthy, you feel that God can't use you because you've been marching and publishing and you've been such a proud lesbian all these years, but that's not true. He's waiting."
That day changed everything for Charlene Cothran, as she finally asked Jesus Christ to come into her heart and forgive her.
It was a personal transformation that she immediately wanted to share with her gay and lesbian followers. She wrote a front page article in her magazine called, "Redeemed! Ten Ways to Get Out of the Gay Life, if You Want Out."
"When the Lord saved me, I knew everything would change," she said. "All of the ads, the editorials, the mission of the magazine had changed. We're going to be calling people out of homosexuality."
Most of the response from the gay and lesbian community has been fierce and negative. But she says she knows that many of them are just as conflicted as she was.
Cothran said, "In order to fill up this empty space, they pretend to put on this wonderful face, 'how gay and happy I am,' when in fact -- there's a lot of loneliness in the gay community that's not talked about, and it's real."
But there has been positive feedback as well. Cothran says she gets lots of e-mails from people who say they struggle with homosexuality and want out.
CBN News asked Cothran, "I know people probably ask you, do you still have feelings for women, and are you dating a man?"
Cothran replied, "I'm living a celibate life. I'm so focused on the spirit right now, that I have no urges for anyone -- man or woman."
With a new outlook about herself and life, Cothran is still on the frontlines of the gay rights battle, only now she sees it as a spiritual fight to lead others to the freedom she's found.
"Our mission now," she said, "is to educate and to turn people away from the homosexual lifestyle simply by presenting the truth. We simply want people to question what they've learned through the pages of Venus magazine over the past 13 years."
Prior to Cothran's conversion, Venus circulated about 35,000 copies per issue which ran four times a year. But after the issue featuring her testimony, the gay political machine pressured advertisers to drop the magazine. And gay pride events and college campuses no longer subscribe.
But in her own words, Cothran has no regrets about her change.
She said, "There is a joy and a peace that you can't find in a club, I don't care how good the music is. You can't find it in the middle of a gay pride parade, I don't care if you have the biggest, prettiest float. I have a joy and a peace that I wouldn't trade for anything
