Apparently not! Sex columnist Dan Savage, President Obama’s appointee to the Commission Against Bullying, decided to go on an anti-Bible rant this past weekend at the NSPA/JEA’s annual High School Journalism convention.
Speaking to 9th-12th graders, Savage not only pushed his pro-gay agenda, but also called Bible principles “bulls**t!”
Needless to say, it is amazing to see how one of the President’s spokesmen against bullying can, in essence, hypocritically take his freedom of speech this far.

Dan Savage needs to have his mouth washed out with soap. His language before teenagers, or anybody for that matter, is inexcusable. He is pathetic!!!
Absolutely 100%.
but the bible is mostly BS…and ancient fables borrowed from much older religions…I guess those qualify as BS too.
It’s not only a filthy mind and mouth, but calling God’s Word anything other than Holy is comitting suicide.
Instead of suicide by cop, it’s suicide by God Himself.
As a student and scholar of the Bible all of my life, one must challenge all you read and study. Because I have done this in all references to this persons opinion, he has a huge deficit of information.
When you do not line up scriptures throughout scripture, you can make any verse say anything you want.
The question that is never addressed is what does Almighty God really sat about this or that in total context of all scriptures? Asking the hard questions to get to actual truth makes one have to see truth for what it is. It is power for living and what helps guard all of us from selfish desires that are harmful on the one or the many.
Wow! I’m naive, I guess, but I am amazed that this has been allowed. I agree with Jan and Ron’s comments above and I wonder what Dan Savage would have said to someone who spoke about gays the way he speaks of the Bible?
Where is the common decency that “once upon a time” was … common?
Examples of things that Christians say/do to gays that are ok and right in the eyes of Christians:
1) You’re going to burn for all of eternity
2) You have a choice, you weren’t born that way (no matter what you know to be innately true about yourself)
3) Imprisonment and even death b/c you’re gay
4) Actual bullying and social ostricization resulting in suicide
Things Dan Savage said that apparently puts him on the same level:
1) This book that you’ve used to persecute us with for thousands of years? This is BS
Yep… Dan Savage is the REAL bully here.
The people that spew that hate use Christianity to hide their true agenda. A true Christian should never tell anyone they’re going to burn in Hell because of their sexuality. We all deserve to burn in Hell and no one here on Earth gets to decide who goes and who doesn’t. The fact that they say death and imprisonment for homosexuality is called for should be a clue of their true agenda. As a Christian myself, I do believe that homosexuality is forbidden in God’s law, but I have never read anywhere that we should kill, bully, or imprison those who don’t believe as we do. We should show love and compassion for all, no matter their belief system. As responsible Christians, we should try to spread God’s word as one would be expected to if he had found a cure for cancer, but our job is to only plant the seed. God will water that seed himself.
His ignorance is betrayed by his arrogance.
This is not just about this ignorant and shallow guy, Dan Savage, but much more. This is about this president who governs as a man child with a chip on his shoulder, and does not recognize that the executive branch is only 1/3rd of our governing system. It was done to protect the people from dictatorships, which he seems to want to establish by bi-passing congress with so many appointees. Only someone as arrogant as this president would appoint someone so uninformed, ignorant, arrogant and anti American as this guy. America was founded on Judea/Christian values: the 10 commandments and the Holy Bible; and,as usual one of our president’s appointees (and there are many others like him in this administration) thinks he has a better handle on morality than God and the millions of highly educated, well informed scholars who have studied and honored this set of values for centuries. This administration would like History to “just go away”. so that the lost sheep that follow this president and his henchmen will not have a reference point to know what the ultimate results of their “perfect society” will become. Then they can autocratically decide what future core values and lifestyle should be for all men (Goodbye Freedom and Liberty, hello Fascism). It happened in the 1930’s in Germany and now it’s happening here ( believe me it won’t just be Jews, but ultimately Christians and even these guys like Savage) Decent people need to wake up, stand up and shout these guys down or were in for one or two decades of Hell on Earth! By the way all the good Christians I know are not denying anyone their right to a different lifestyle or their own set of beliefs; however that does not mean we should alter our core values to appease those who choose a different lifestyle or set of values. You have the right under our Constitution to spew you ignorant rantings (which you won’t have much longer if you follow this administration’s direction), but we have the right to respond with truth and history; and it’s on our side.

If God, the Bible or the 10 commandments does not establish our core values, who does: Man? How convenient for us, we can make it ALL up as we go along. These few sorely misguided and severely damaged individuals who think they are mentally superior to the masses are the largest problem that this country faces. They think they represent something “better” than God.
