TEXT:

A Preacher is powerless without a flock to mesmerize and manipulate; a captivated audience full of people who hang on his every word. Sheep rarely examine their beloved religious texts with any level of critical thinking. They usually have a church authority or some other stronger personality interpreting it for them. Or failing that, they make it up.

The truly dedicated (or shall we say far gone) Sheep seems to have no other personality or identity other than her religion. Often she will speak entirely in obscure quasi-religious sayings and clichés, most of which, amusingly, actually don’t appear anywhere in her religion’s sacred texts. Don’t expect her to express any sort of creative or independent thought; her rhetoric will generally be identical to that of other Sheep. You will find that irony is impossible when ridiculing the views of the Sheep, because even the most over-the-top parodies of the Sheep’s nutty religious speeches come out sounding less than or as crazy as the real thing (that fundamentalist wackos are indistinguishable from the actors doing impressions of them is a phenomenon popularly referred to as Poe's Law).

Many Sheep can’t tell the difference between being a “nice” person and being a good person. She has convinced herself that as long as she says things in a sweet voice and pays lip service to ideals like “love” and “God” and “God’s love”, she can say and do whatever she pleases no matter how it hurts other human beings, including, of course, voting in favor of anti-gay legislation. Utterly self-deluded, the Sheep will go on about how she “loves the sinner but hates the sin”, even as she supports efforts to deny you basic human rights and dignity.

When the Sheep gets really angry she will promise to pray for you. This is the Sheep’s way of telling you she hates your guts and would gladly spit on your grave.

I may not be gay but I am an atheist and we too often have to deal with the annoyance of sheep offering to pray for us. If I ever encounter such people, and I almost certainly will, I will happily show them this video clip. [link] Enjoy.

I had a foster mother like this, sort of. She thought I was either Athiest or Satanist because I didn't want to go to her church, and she said my mother was going to hell.

Yeah my one male best friend is a very devout Christian, but when i asked him what he felt he said he found nothing wrong with being gay. He is a great but rarely found person

Most of the male ones I have met are young, and douchebag-ish, maybe there are so few older ones because they don't have dominating christian husbands, and simply snap out of it. I hope this didn't sound sexist.

It wasn't sexist ^^. I may just see the girl sheep because girls tend to bash homosexual females while males tend to bash homosexual males. "Gay guys are a girls best friend" and apparently lesbians are really hot to guys, so being a pansexual female, I may just see more of the homophobic females.
