Parallel Universes Teach Polygamy - A "Christian" Response To Gay Archie Wedding

[Rich Johnston]

As a Christian, I find myself often in conflict with what are touted as official Christian responses to some matter or other. Whether that be Christian Voice's hysterical reaction to the play Jerry Springer The Opera or CapAlert's objection to E.T. for the evils of levitation, it's never a Christianity I recognise.

And neither is the response of Christian Response Alerts to Life With Archie #16, featuring a gay wedding on the cover.

The response is sadly predictable, but it has one line that not only staggers the mind but also the funny bone. I had to check twice that this as not some Onion-style news report. It's not.

In 2010, the comic series also had Archie marrying both Veronica and Betty in parallel universes ? thus introducing the idea of polygamy to its readers.

I need a facepalm big enough and appropriate for this one. Where oh where... oh yes. Thank you, Kirsty the Pinhead.

oh the Christians, whatever would we do without their constant judgements? live happily maybe, free to enjoy life as we wish...

note: i DONT mean ALL Christians.

[Blackfist]

Some of us Christians need to lose our ability to communicate, that statement was just sad

[Timberoo]

if a child reads the Bible, wouldn't they also be introduced to polygamy?

Christian-bashing. Cool. Fun.

Yawn.

Yawn.

Are Christians what's ruining comics?

[IanThal]

So <i>Crisis on Infinite Earths</i> wasn't just an attempt to streamline DC Comics' Gold-Silver-Bronze Age continuity, but also to defend traditional marriage?

Yawn.

sure can be, and many of them deserve it. especially the establishment of the church. thoughout history they have advocted a ridiculous amount of brainwashing, child abuse, murder, genocide, co-opting of other's religions and spiritualities, rape, destruction of culture, control, eradication of freedoms etc, etc...
clearly they deserve a little poking and bitch slapping.

again note:
i dont NOT suggest this is case of ALL Christains, just many of them. and the same for MOST organized religions as well!

yeah but we all know that only Christian-bashing is "allowed" in polite societies. Jew-bashing too. Funny that other religions are usually exempt from their "allowed" form of bigotry.

Wait. Kirsty's Pinhead now?
