Duck Dynasty

[DrPhil]

I really like this show (and find the Christmas album cute) but may boycott until fools learn to stop alienating power minorities. This isn't about "politically correct". This is about "keep some things to yourself" and "what is your damn point?" GQ knew this guy was just rambling and they intentionally let him bury himself. Funny but not funny.

Saw a FB post from an in laws best friend going on and on about how the only people who don't have freedom of speech are the CHRISTIANS because the LIBERALS even when what the CHRISTIANS are saying jives with the MUSLIM beliefs (i.e. homosexuality). It made my head hurt, but I think the essence was "poor white people." Also, the spiel ended with a comment about how Phil should pull the plug on the show because that would show A&E. (as if the network is worried about generating more publicity for this show.)

@ amIblue? Most people are clueless regarding the doctrine of other religions. If they took the time to learn about other religions they would find many similarities with their own religion. I think we've discussed this before on GC (religions started off as cults and can still be perceived as cults; humans are a trip and will use religion to justify their ignorance). Christianity is not the only religion that supposedly perceives homosexuality negatively. I disagree with all religions regarding many things and those many things are the ties that bind different religions.

I agree with you that there are many similarities among religions; I just couldn't figure out how the Muslims got singled out (in all caps) in this conversation and what exactly they had to do with Duck Dynasty. I found the train of thought sad and mind blowing.

Actually, I do know because there is a large contingent in this area who are hell bent on trying to run a decades old established mosque out of town, so I think the thinking is that if LIBERALS (again all caps) are okay with MUSLIMS (all caps) hating on homosexuality (because of course) then LIBERALS ought to be okay with CHRISTIANS (all caps) hating on homosexuality.
