BengalBacker Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people? http://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/06/24/417112956/hillary-clintons-three-word-gaffe-all-lives-matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Wow. I'm sure Hillary didn't mean it though. Last I checked she is still pro-abortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Numbers| Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 3 words... ALL LIVES MATTER. Any hate coming from a church over that one statement almost makes me group them along with the other hate groups. All lives do matter regardless of race, religion, gender, etc...

|Numbers| Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 For it is a slippery slope when we say only certain lives matter.Some people are more important than others. So well just wipe out the weak, the infirm, the aged, or people we disagree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's not until after my second cup of coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any hate coming from a church over that one statement almost makes me group them along with the other hate groups. All lives do matter regardless of race, religion, gender, etc... The problem isn't with the 3 words. No one would disagree with that statement. It's that it became a political counterpoint to the "Black lives matter" protest chants. Which weren't trying to be any more exclusive than having a black history month. I shouldn't have to explain why someone retorting to that with "Where's the white history month!?" is all sorts of fucked up. The "All lives matter" was pretty close to that in a lot of peoples opinions. So while I agree with you that she shouldn't get shit on for saying it. I can also understand why some would be upset that she did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They represent their church, religion, and citizens. Mixing religion and politics usually results in mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyInDC Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 ...Mixing religion and politics usually results in mud. and yet you have entire congregations getting told to vote Republican by their pastors, but when the Pope says, "you know, maybe we shouldn't pollute the Earth so much" Republicans loose their marbles.

T-Dub Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Y'know - maybe if "All Lives" were treated equally people wouldn't need to be specific. I can't help but read that as along the lines of other favorites such as "but how come there's no White History Month" or "How come gay pride is ok but white pride isn't" or "Why don't they just not break the law" and other such classics of the obliviously privileged majority.

It's actually the point I stopped going to the one I attended. Most of the rhetoric seemed to be centered around abortion. To me I can't stand something or someone saying God supports / is against " fill in the blank " Separation of church and state... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
