Kathy Griffin Tells Jesus to Suck It

Yesterday I received a this email from a good although never-met  “passaround” friend.  The nature of  the message compelled me to respond, and hopefully it’s worth the read.  That email was tracked to snopes.com which not only denies permission to repost but also designs their website in some way which renders it impossible to copy/paste, so boo for them.  So I hunted the www a bit and found all of it elsewhere, including that some of it was copied by snopes, LOL.  I’ll begin with my reply to a great person and friend:

Dear Ruthie,

maybe it’s the down mood I have been in today, and I don’t wish to loose a “friend”, but…

I knew nothing of this about Kathy Griffiin, and have never particularly cared for her.
However, while perhaps a bit more diplomacy would have been in order, I agree with what she said., and applaud her courage in doing so.  Plenty of Christians are equally obnoxious in pushing their unfounded beliefs, which is always “okay”, while opposing beliefs are not.

There is a huge difference between unfounded Faith and Reason based on known and verifiable existence.  If one stands at the edge of a tall cliff thinking of leaping off into oblivion, he is most unlikely to rely upon Faith to save himself, for he will not survive to tell of it.  He who lives did not leap, having relied upon Reason.

And this very same rejection of Reason is destroying our Country with insane and immoral “Faith” in the unfathomable.  Were this not true, I would have felt no need to write this.

My blogger website is http://morality101.net/ covering the whole spectrum of this insanity, to which I shall now include this entire email, but removing the eAddies before publishing.

Best to you.

And this was the original email, all the same but reorganized to better fit on webpage.  I added the actual video brought in from YouTube, substituted for a pic of Kathy Griffin:

Perfect example of an idiot –  someone who… just because they have the right to say and do anything……well, you know the ending……………

“At the Emmy awards, Kathy Griffin’s acceptance speech said,
‘A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want
you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus.
Suck it, Jesus. This is my God now!’ referring to the Emmy.

As a Christian, I am offended by her hate speech. What do you think
might have happened if she had made the hate speech against
Muhammad????

Kathy Griffin has the right as an American to say what she thinks. As
a Christian-American, so do I. Today I will refuse to watch any show
that she may be on or purchase tickets to any event at which she
would perform. What will you do? If you delete this, nothing bad will
happen to you, but if you pass this on, you will truly have stood up
for Jesus Christ. Let’s see what the 80% of Christian-Americans can
do.”
