SpongeBob spreading homosexuality
 
Move over Tinky Winky, Spongebob is better in spreading homosexuality.

SpongeBob and his cohorts. Very vile and evil in corrupting young minds.

I don't know about spreading homosexuality, but sponges can breed bacteria if they're not washed out and allowed to dry completely between uses.

AlphaGamDiva 01-20-2005 11:15 AM

LMAO!!!!! :D

My favorite part of the article:

WAFF spokesman Mark Barondeso told the newspaper that anyone who thought the video promoted homosexuality "needs to visit their doctor and get their medication increased".

SOPi_Jawbreaker 01-20-2005 11:53 AM

"The video's makers plan to mail it to US schools in the spring to promote tolerance and diversity."

"They point to the fact that the WAFF is linked to a pledge being promoted by some liberal groups which includes a recognition of tolerance of sexual identity."

Tolerance and diversity??? How dare they!!! We SHOULD boycott SpongeBob. :rolleyes: I mean, seriously, that's some nerve...trying to teach children about acceptance of people that are different.

I don't know whether this is funny or sad.

RUgreek 01-23-2005 04:32 AM

Imagine what kind of negative influence they'd discover if the saw this.

No offense, but these right-wing conservative christian groups have a lot of balls trying to accuse someone else of being gay after the church scandal. You'd think they'd keep their mouths shut and stay away from homosexual topics for a little bit. Oh well....

Minor point of order:

The "right-wing conservative christian groups" are usually comprised of Evangelical Protestants. They don't have a whole lot to do w/ Catholics, many don't even consider them Christians at all.

When analyzing who is saying what to whom about what, details are important and often missed in news sound bites.

No offense. ;)

Minor point of correction:

Their founder is catholic, most of the people that work there are catholic, and the organization is rooted in catholic, not evangelical protestants, beliefs ;)

No offense.

Nice try.

From the link you posted:

" Let us take a look at the Liberal Catholic Church and what they really are and what they stand for:
Here are some of the publications I think, to begin with. The Goddess Religions, Gnostic Christianity, Eastern Mysticism, Mystical States of Consciousness, Reincarnation in Christianity?, The Feminine Aspect of Divinity. They also have a booklet of course, on meditation. "

Not even close to basic Roman Catholic doctrine. Just because someone uses the word "Catholic" doesn't mean they are in union w/ the RCC.

No offense.

What kind of idiot are you anyway? I just spoon fed you information that connects this organization clearly with the catholic religion, and you throw back a link to the vatican? And why the hell is this even being discussed here. I'm not part of either group so this is not something I have any reason to defend.

You wanna argue how much of a devote catholic they are compared to you, knock yourself out. Doesn't change the facts of who they are and what they stated in this situation.

Also, why don't you show me how they are not catholic but evangelical protestants as you adamantly claim. I looked around and couldn't find anything about it, so prove it.

Just because not everyone follows your version of catholicism doesn't mean they can't be catholics smart ass.

Go back to your spongebob protest and gay bashing elsewhere.

adduncan 02-01-2005 12:14 PM

You just lost your argument. Hurling insults means you're at the end of your rope and have nothing else.

Just in case this is a sincere question, I'll present the following.

Your initial link was a discussion about Dr James Dobson, founder of "Focus on the Family", a major organization involved w/ the "religious right". From the FotF website:

http://www.family.org/docstudy/aboutdrdobson.cfm

""Dr. Dobson was chosen as Layman of the Year by the National Association of Evangelicals in 1982."

The article you linked to also mentioned an organization called the "Liberal Catholic Church". Their website is here:
http://www.liberalcatholic.org/

They may call themselves "Catholic". However, they are not part and parcel of the RCC, which was accused in the sex scandal. My post said:

Which the LCC confirms themselves - they have been out of union w/ Rome for a very long time. So implicating the LCC in the sex scandal is to accuse the wrong org.

The following also has no merit:

At no time in this thread, or in any other did I support the "spongebob protest", not have I ever bashed gay people, literally, figuratively, or otherwise. I simply pointed out an obvious misunderstanding in who is involved with what politics or activities.

You can be angry all you want - but if you want your voice to be effective, you want to make sure you're focusing on the correct target.

Considering this link is on the Focus on the Family site, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that they aren't really so Catholic anymore - as of this Sunday we neither had pastors nor pastors' wives.

100% irrelevant (as is the entirety of adduncan's rant) . . . according to CNN statistics from early last year, there have been approximately equal numbers of molestation charges across all wings of Christianity over the last 10 years, regardless of Catholic vs. Protestant or sect vs. sect. The RCC got the bad press, but it has been endemic (molestations happen at a rate much higher than the national standard). It's not one group's problem.

I think they like to place more blame on Catholics because Catholic priests are seen as deviant for not having wives and making baybeez. Plus bashing Catholics is an American tradition, it's like apple pie.

Also I need some new music, what do you recommend?

valkyrie 02-01-2005 03:31 PM

I heard that SpongeBob ate a condom once.

PhiPsiRuss 02-01-2005 04:06 PM

SpongeBob is a gay communist vegetarian womanizing capitalist pig.

I stand corrected, you truly are an idiot, as you have proven to everyone. You show up aguing a point that makes no sense, and still you haven't answered my question. Yea, the founder got an award from evangelicals, but that doesn't mean he's evangelical. So they like him too, now you got catholics and protestants working together. Prove that this group is not catholic was my sincere question.

It doesn't matter that you don't like the liberal catholics, they are still catholic observing people, so don't try to push them off as non-catholics.

If you don't support the bashing of spongebob, then what the hell are you arguing for? This isn't an argument, it's just plain stupid and you can feel as good about yourself as you like, it still doesn't make sense.

The article you posted said that FOTF wanted to meet with members of the liberal catholic church. Notice that's not Roman Catholic, it's not Protestant - it's an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DENOMINATION.

http://family.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/f...i=&p_topview=1

If you click on that link, which is actually FROM the FOTF website, you will see that they are an EVANGELICAL PROTESTANT organization. Protestant = not Catholic.

In addition, if you go here , you'll see they endorse the ministry of Billy Graham as theologically sound. If they were a Catholic organization, they'd be endorsing the Vatican.

thank you for showing me this stuff, maybe now this ridiculous thread will move on. I really don't see how any of this has to do with spongebob, but that was a fun hijack...

BUMP!

So, the article said:
"SpongeBob - who appears on the children's cable channel Nickelodeon - is seen as an icon for adult gay men in the US, apparently because he regularly holds hands with his sidekick Patrick."

So what do they have to say about this, hmmmm???? :p

http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com...lt-384x271.jpg


Sorry, I had to post it. When I saw a news bit last night at first they did the kissing cheek greeting, then they were holding hands and the SpongeBob thing was the first thing I thought of.

ADPiZXalum 04-26-2005 02:52 PM

HAHA So my ex boyfriend was a huge fan of Spongebob, gay or not gay?
