The Day of Silence makes Jesus Cry!

...

At first I thought it was real.

Then I realized it was a joke.

Then I realized that it was, indeed, real.

I can't even bring myself to be angered by stuff like this anymore. It's all so funny.

It's hilarious to think that these people are offended by a bunch of gay kids shutting the hell up for a day.

and when exactly did DoS

and when exactly did DoS become manditory? i've only ever seen 1 teacher pull it off...kids just aren't that quiet!

i agree with underdarkness....the fact that they're offended by a bunch of tolerent people NOT TALKING for a day shows you just how shaky the ground is they stand on.

and a heaven in a wild flower
hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour

This is absolutely terrible.

This is absolutely terrible. And I find it hilarious that the very groups that make things so difficult for gays use high rates of depression, etc. as an argument that homosexuality itself causes depression. This makes me sort of sick.

I think that the Jesus

I think that the Jesus Crying part is Jeff's take on the video :P

But seriously, what DOESN'T make Jesus cry? He's a total pansy.

Leonard: I didn't lie. I just told him some advice that wasn't rather helpful.

Sheldon: My mother says that when we lie, we make Jesus cry.

Raj: Seriously, dude, karma is going to come back and bite you in the ass.

Sheldon: I thought you had given up the old and antiquated traditions of your homeland.

Raj: Karma is physics, dude. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So if you're a douche in this life, you'll come back as a banana slug in the next.

I expect crazy right-wing

I expect crazy right-wing christian fundamenalistists to get all angry about DoS, and for that matter homosexuality, but seriously... Earth day? The far right sure has fallen from grandeur.

... since when do school

... since when do school busses have INDIVIDUAL seats?!?!?
and jesus fucking christ. i don't think they even realize that what they're doing to us is like... i dunno, a lot like what the romans did to jesus? the whole "oh, nope, i don't like what you're saying. it's threatening... we have to get rid of you" thing.
oh, and hey.. yeah, the goal IS acceptance. dipshits.
gar. i refuse to get mad at pathetic idiots that don't realize this video is backfiring on them. it looks like a parody of right-wing nuts.

I am a homosexual activist

I am a homosexual activist bent on destroying family values and promoting the evil homosexual agenda. But since there seens to be so much opposition, I think I'll just shut up for a day.

Am I the only one who feels

Am I the only one who feels bad for the kids who have to act in this kind of bullshit?

I just get a kick out of the

I just get a kick out of the fact that the big terrifying image they're painting of DoS, complete with the kids being lined up to be silenced, and them being fed "indoctrinary bullshit," and faculty support of the whole effort, is actually a rather accurate description of what these sorts of organizations do to GLBTQ people everywhere. Ahaha, look everybody, it's irony.

I don't care if people hate me. It takes too much energy that I could be using for something productive like facebooking. : P

I radiate music from my core.

Naw, they'd something along

Naw, they'd something along the lines of well they're wrong and misguided but at least they're Christian and on the right path. [ They won't talk shit to your if your Christian unless to imply that you aren't really Christian. The you can't be gay and Christian bs. But they generally are just terribly condescending if they think that you think you are a Christian.

I have a friend who though he's usually quite soft spoken and sweet, will scream at you then ignore the issue for the rest of the time he knows you; unless your Christian then he can agree to disagree. His general opinion is that although we don't agree he can talk to me because I follow God. I'm still his friend because I love him to death and while we were at school together it was obvious he needed someone to talk to; he'd actually seek me out to just sit with me after our social group split. Plus after seeing his failed relationships and his homophobia. I'm pretty sure that he's gay. If he is gay though, I am also pretty sure that he's either never going to come out live solo and have a decent time of it, never come out and live a miserable double life, or kill himself. The fist option is the most likely with him, too.

Wow sometimes I wonder why

Wow sometimes I wonder why people can't just accept people for who they are, if they don't like the gay life then they don't have to be gay it is that simple! This shit just makes me laugh cause people are so dumb

labels are for soup cans not people!

I just thought of this...

Maybe I'm stupid for not making this connection before, but this whole thing is a war. I mean many wars have some sort of connection to peoples/nations rights, and many wars have the opposite side, that is either religion or government based.
Talk about not learning from our past...

This isn't scary, it's funny as hell.

It's fucking horrid that these bastards are trying to smear the DoS and a whole community, but really, if this was put on Comedy Central, I'd laugh my ass off.

Hate the sin, love the sinner? Bull-sheeet.

Wow. O.O; Ya, I really

Wow. O.O; Ya, I really couldn't believe this was true at first, and I agree with Holahaveamuffin, that by making this video, don't they realize they are really just making fun of themselves? Or at least that's how most non-radical Christians will take this. A parody. And I also found their arguments funny as hell, then, once I realized they were real, I still found them funny as hell, but just a little sad for humanity that there are people in this world that believe this radical stuff. It astounds me, really.

Kinda Connected side note:

Found this when googling the 'Dare To Stand' project:

Please note: The Illinois Family Institute posted an article on its site April 15, entitled Dare to Stand regarding a video produced by a church in Illinois. Because the radio ministry of Northwest Valley Baptist Church coincidently bears the name Dare to Stand, we were mistakenly connected with it.

Neither Dare to Stand radio nor Northwest Valley Baptist Church is in any way involved with the development of this video or with the web site connected with it (www.dare2stand.com). Our website is www.daretostand.org. Please contact the Illinois Family Institute at www.illinoisfamily.org for more information.

Interesting though not surprising that other churches are distancing themselves from this group.

Just thought I'd add this in there.
