Louis Theroux: The most hated family in America

Oh what the hell does bringing up a family with a religion instead of consumerism mean?

Eh, have you not heard that the new religion in Ireland is CONSUMERISM ???? Many commentators have written on the subject..

If you are anti-religion at least have some perspective on the diffference between people bringing their kids up with a hate filled doctrine V the religion I was brought up in.

What has buying stuff got to do with believing in imaginary supernatural beings?

So you don't see a belief system in place in buying stuff ?? People buy stuff in the belief that it will make them happy.

God hates America because America loves 'fags', and the best way to alert people to this is to protest at dead soldiers' funerals.

All seems very logical to me, can't see what the fuss is about.

Of course there is a difference in the beliefs, im not comparing the actual belief systems of the different religions. Obviously the belifs this family holds are horrible compared to Catholic beliefs. Im saying that these parents are doing nothing different to other parents when it comes to teaching their children what the believe.

I don't want to get away from the original subject but just had to point out that that wackjob family believed that gay people were bound for hell and so were all who supported them....and I just wondered how could anyone consider that the Catholic Church's position to be much different....Pope Bendict XVI, whom catholics believe to be infallible and God's representative on Earth, is vehemently opposed to any change in the church's stance on homosexuality, and has described homosexuality as an "intrinsic moral evil," and "an objective disorder." This is a quote from a gay rights site called Rainbow.com (or similar) that puts it rather neatly "[Pope Benedict] has driven out members of the church that have attempted a more liberal approach to homosexuality. He is also against legislative protection for gay people. One of the Pope's first public proclamations was to condemn the introduction in Spain of partnership rights for same sex couples. The Vatican warned Roman Catholic officials that any support of the bill would end in the loss of their positions and argued that every person linked with implementing homosexual marriages should oppose it, even if it meant losing their jobs."

.The Catholic Church's position is delivered in more socially acceptable forums and couched in more palatable terms but the message wouldn't appear to be all that different?

I've never quoted John Lennon before but i will now: "Imagine.......And no religion too,Imagine all the people, Living life in peace."...
could be time to give it a try!!!

Very good post. In my opinion there is very little difference between that crowd in America and the Catholic church (or any other religion for that matter). It's just that people pick and choose from Catholicism because it makes them feel more comfortable.

Wait for the onslaught

I would have to say that I've never read the Bible. But if there is a passage anywhere in it that says that I reckon I'd be surprised.
Especially given that his definition of fag is nothing to do with the usual American slang definition of homosexual.
They say that a fag = homosexual, Jewish person, American soldier, Swedish person, anyone who's not married but who has fornicated and, well, everyone who isn't the Westboro Baptist Church.

Tell you what, as well, if I belonged to the common or garden Baptist faith I'd be up in arms that this shower of loo las have the neck to call themselves Baptists.
