why did you ... ?

godlesspanther asks...

Dear Evangelical Fundamentalist, Right-wing, Christians,

Why did you support slavery? Why did you support the genocide of Native Americans? Why did you support the lynching, the cold-blooded hatred and murder of human beings? Why did you oppose the legal right for women to vote? Why did you oppose the integration of public schools? Why did you oppose racial integration? Why did you oppose a woman's right to choose what she does with her own body? Why do you oppose a person's right to love who they choose to love? Why do you oppose that person's right to marry the one they love? Why did you hate hippies? Why do you hate so many people? Why are you so hateful?

Why?

Because the great big goo-goo says so?

Pathetic excuse for being a hateful, violent, despicable cult.

I would like a real reason. Just one.

Because I have been exceedingly selfish.

Why did you support the genocide of Native Americans?

Because I have been inordinately greedy.

Why did you support the lynching, the cold-blooded hatred and murder of human beings?

Because I have been terribly wicked.

Why did you oppose the legal right for women to vote?

Because I have been desperately distrustful.

Why did you oppose the integration of public schools?

Because I have been intensely jealous.

Why did you oppose racial integration?

Because I have been exceedingly egocentric.

Why did you oppose a woman's right to choose what she does with her own body?

Because I have been a nosy busybody.

Why do you oppose a person's right to love who they choose to love?

Because I have been exceptionally uncaring.

Why do you oppose that person's right to marry the one they love?

Because I have been fiercely confrontational.

Why?

In short, because I am so unlike Jesus.

I have done you so many wrongs, in so many ways, for so long. I owe you so much more than an apology. I owe an enormous debt, one that is long overdue and that I can never hope to repay. I have been a miserable failure.

I have utterly failed to be anything like Jesus.
