I was perusing gofundme.com for the first time and came across this gem:
LINK
So far, he has been given $9k in 19 days. If you were wondering, the movie "Audacity" basically sets out to convince the audience being gay is bad and against God's word.
I'm nothing close to a social justice warrior and frankly I'm tired of pro-gay propaganda, but this shite is even worse. This fool is responsible for taking care of 2 kids but can't help but lose his job because he's so fricking full of himself that he thinks he's God's appointed gay fixer. $9k and counting just handed to this guy for being an idiot. What the frick.

Chris Routson was fired from his job as a steel worker in Middletown after sharing his faith. He and his wife, Bekah, along with their two children are now without income.
Chris shared Ray Comforts new movie “Audacity” during a Facebook chat with a lesbian co-worker. He did this from his own home and while off the clock. He was called into the office the following day and was given a warning to stop communicating with that individual.
A few days later he was lovingly [LOL] sharing his personal testimony, along with the gospel [LOL] with another lesbian co-worker. She complained to management and Chris was sent home.
A few days later Chris was called into his manager’s office where he was told he was being fired.

"Religious persecution" is one of the latest gimmicks to get easy money. We have a county clerk in Kentucky who is using her position to get rich quick by going to jail for denying marriage licenses to gay couples.
GoFundMe.com would not allow an account for her but she's traveling around the country soaking fundamentalist groups while her deputy clerks issue gay marriage licenses back home.

wait so the guy is being fired for sharing his faith off the clock?
let's be honest here: if the guy was muslim, there would be rioting on the streets and CNN, the guy would already have $150k on gofundme, and would be on his way to a 3-day/2-night excursion at the white house.

Sharing Jesus with a lesbian doesn't mean he's a gay fixer or homophobe. I've shared with numerous gay people and came away still being friends. Actually did it this summer in Riviera Maya with a lesbian couple on their honeymoon. They drank and ate with us the entire trip.
Just because you share Jesus with a gay person doesn't mean they're preaching antigay stuff.
But starting a gofundme for disobeying direct orders at work? GTFO and GFY attention whore.

He gave his employer no choice. Had they not fired him they risked being sued. Personal and religious beliefs aside, you cannot simply chase your co-workers around with a bible.
With a wife and two kids, not real smart.

If "sharing your faith" means telling your coworker to watch a movie that says they're going to hell for loving someone of the same sex, then being warned by your boss to stop doing that to your coworkers, then continuing to do that, then yes.

Not to be picky, but homosexuality is against God's word.
I understand arguing belief in the Bible, but it does say it in there a healthy amount.
Regardless, guy seems kinda like a jackass.

He was a steel worker,the whole thing was simple. He just needed to tell the truth.
He was trying to get them gals over to the house.
Always need to calibrate the ole Thermaprobe.
The truth shall set you free.

Plain as day.

Why should anyone believe Leviticus is the word of God?

If you believe The Bible is God's word then you beleive everything in The Bible is God's word. If you dont, you dont. Your question is pretty amateurish as stated.

Because if you believe in The Bible then you realize it is suppose to be God's Word. That is the whole point of it. The whole aspect of what it is. And it says in The Bible that nothing can be added or taken away from it.
So basically it leaves you in 3 groups. A) those that believe in the bible, B) those that dont, and C) those that are stupid enough to think there can be a middle ground.
quote:
Revelation 22:18-19
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

Before you believe in something, don't you need a reason or some sort of basis for having the belief? Just simply believing in something does not make it so.

And it says in The Bible that nothing can be added or taken away from it.
I can believe Arkansas will beat Bama by 100 points. I can write in my diary that Arkansas beat Bama by 100 points and that no one can change what I wrote. So since I believe it and wrote it down with a "no changsies" clause, it must be true?
Also, just because it says that in Revelation doesn't mean it necessarily applies to every other book of the Bible.

Actually it does. Thats the exact innateness of The Bible. By saying that it is God's word and saying nothing can be added or taken away you are saying that is all real or none of it is real.

Yea you Jon Ham can write down that you are indeed a Lamp and even if you love lamp that doesnt mean you are in fact a lamp. Now what was your dumb arse point again? Its not a clever argument.

I'm about to seriously respond to your post, but I just have to acknowledge that we simultaneously referenced Anchorman during a discussion about the existence of God.

We aren't having a discussion about the existence of God. We are having a discussion about the innateness of certain aspects and the ability to make proper arguments either for or against something.

My dumb arse point was that when it comes to everything else in the world outside of religion, people tend to have a basis for believing something is true before deciding to believe it. Every day people on this site are asking others for links to back their assertions. Journalists can't just write articles and tell their readers to believe it because the journalist tells you to believe it. Scientists can't conclude their findings by saying "I've made this discovery and since I've made this discovery I've in fact made this discovery."
Why does the Bible/religion get a free pass from so many? Why can't someone ask "well why IS it the word of God?" without being told they're asking a dumb question?

I'm not arguing the Bible isn't the word of God. I'm asking why anyone should believe that it is and the only answer I'm getting is "Because it says so" which is the weakest shite I've ever heard.
