Do you realize how many millions GLBT spent fighting the Oregon Constitutional amendment? I can find the figure if you want?
Now multiply that times at least 50 for every state in the Nation.
And your worrying about what the Christian right spends in one state.
What a hypocritical bunch of propaganda that is!


$2.8 million, in Oregon in 2004 alone!


Thank you...I'm so glad someone else sees the folly in what some here barf on these boards.

I think the term is hypocrite!


erm....who exactly is being called a hypocrite? And as to what is "barf(ed) on these boards" I really think it's in the eye of the beholder as to whether it's trash or treasure.

Think about it this way, If the states would stop making amendments trying to hamper the GLBT and just let them live their lives how they want too without all the hassle they wouldn't have to spend that amount of money trying to fight the amendments.

And also I don't really care how much money the Christians spend on displaying billboards. I will continue to ignore them just like I ignore every other billboard I pass. It's their money to do with as they please and if they want to waste it on trying to convert people that is their perogative.

i agree with you Rathil as to everyone having the right to spend thier money the way they see fit to spend it. but i disagree on the point that christian values claim there desire to help the poor and needy and all else, spending it instead on political things their own god tells them to stay away from - "render unto ceaser what is ceaser's" they should spend their time and money being the "good samaritan" that christ point's to in his teachings. religion's were never meant to be embroiled in politics. that is man's rule - not god's.

i agree with you rathil as to everyone having the right to send thier money the way they see fit to spwnd it. but i disagree on the point that christian values claim there desire to help the por and needy and all else spending it instead on political things their own god tells them to stay away from - "render unto ceaser what is ceaser's" they shoud spend their time and money being the "good samaritan" that christ point's to in his teachings. religoin's were never meant to be embroiled in politics. that is man's rule - not god's.


Good point Tribo and I probably should have made reference to that as well. the GLBT is spending their millions for a cause that is important to them and will help people all over america that are actually in need of help. The money the Christians are spending on billboards is being used to draw in people to the churches and used for conversion tactics. I think the money should be used for helping the poor and needy more since thats why they say they collect the money anyway. Instead of putting up 50 billboards why not open up another soup kitchen or buy some homeless people some new clothes and nice warm jackets?

a most wise idea my glass hoppa - your point is taken well. :tongue:


maybe they could go back to first century gatherings and sell all there church buildings and properties also - that would give them more than enough money to help all in need. :tongue:
