Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – exposing how Nat-C’s (nationalist Christians) just lie

The Friendly Atheist has a very good piece exposing how these frauds speak and fail. (memes at the end)

“Mayor criticized for preaching bigotry during secretly recorded speech to high school club – Holly Andreatta’s comments on race, religion, and LGBTQ identity went viral after students documented the talk and challenged her in real time”

These frauds certainly don’t like to be videotaped or held accountable for their hate and lies.

This is a bit of what she said “… My oldest daughter had a lot of trauma as a child. Something really terrible happened to her when she was very young that I would hope never would happen to any other child. And as a result of it, she’s a lesbian. She’s gay and she’s married to a woman. And sometimes, that’s a little bit of internal struggle for me, because I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, and I believe that scripture is very clear on homosexuality.

But on the other side of that, I love her dearly. We are in relationship. And that’s what Charlie Kirk’s message was. It’s like, we may not agree. My daughter knows where I stand biblically, but I love her. We’re actually going to spend Christmas with her in Missouri. We love her, and they have a child, and I love my grandchild, and I love my daughter-in-law, which is weird to say, right? My daughter’s married to a woman. But it is the reality.”

and then surprise, she tried to lie about what she said.

“For what it’s worth, Andreatta has since released a statement apologizing to… her own daughter for saying out loud what she should have kept private. But not to the students she offended or the various groups she feels are beneath her:

“I want to publicly apologize to my daughter. Her story is hers alone, and I should not have shared personal details about her trauma,” Andreatta said. “To be absolutely clear: I did not say that trauma causes homosexuality. I never said that, nor would I ever say that or think that. I was referring to a very specific personal experience.”

She literally said, “Something really terrible happened to [my daughter] when she was very young that I would hope would never happen to any other child, and as a result of it, she’s a lesbian.” (Emphasis mine.) Okay, she didn’t say trauma in general causes homosexuality; she said that a specific kind of trauma experienced by her daughter causes homosexuality.”

  1. “I believe that scripture is very clear on homosexuality.” No, no it’s not. But even if “it” was, the idea that you would base your views on something some ignorant Iron Age savage wrote down because THEY believed it is bizarre. What a pathetic way to develop your beliefs.

    1. Should add – not just an ignorant Iron Age savage, but one from an uncivilised desert tribe in a tiny dry part of the surface of the Earth, during a tiny part of human history. Why not, for example, take your views on homosexuality (if you are too pathetic to develop your own ideas) from Greek civilisation in the years BCE?
