These scumbags can only be described as an affront to human decency and even the religion they profess to embrace.
An evangelical Christian hate group called “Repent Amarillo” is reportedly terrorizing the town of Amarillo, Texas. Repent fashions itself as a sort of militia and targets a wide range of community members they deem offensive to their theology: gays, liberal Christians, Muslims, environmentalists, breast cancer events that do not highlight abortion, Halloween, “spring break events,” and pornography shops. On its website, Repent has posted a “Warfare Map” of its enemies in town.
Calling Repent an “American Taliban,” blogger Charles Johnson notes that the group’s moniker “Army of God” is a rough translation of “Hezbollah.” Led by a man named David Grisham, a security guard at a nuclear-bomb facility called Pantex, Repent first gained media attention in Texas following a campaign to boycott Houston for electing a gay mayor. The group, which is associated with Raven Ministries, collaborates with other Christian groups as well as forced pregnancy advocacy associations like “Bound 4 Life.”
According to a new exposé by the Texas Observer, Repent set out earlier this year to destroy a discreet club of swingers they discovered in town. On New Years eve, the harassment began, with Repent members, almost exclusively young men, showing up in military fatigues and bullhorns, blaring Christian music at the swingers’ club building. The swingers, made up of “regulars” of middle aged, working class couples, were then stalked at every following visit to the club. Repent not only took video of each member, but obtained the swingers’ license plates and dug through their trash, informing neighbors and coworkers of what was once private. Watch a Texas Observer report:

Make a click and read on. I don't know the law concerning it, but it seems to me that harassment of this sort should land the pigfuckers in jail.
No wonder Christianity is gaining such a vile reputation.

| To paraphrase a quote from the web, "Religion is like Dungeons and Dragons gone horribly wrong." |
"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."
"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"

| These guys are first class dicks. I think they almost certainly have local police collusion in tracking down people after getting their license plate numbers. Someone ought to be looking into this corrupt connection. Some lawsuits against them could really help, too. Nothing like losing money to wise some people up. |

Wanna know the absolute worst thing about all this? Huh, do you?
It's that business that the day job of "Repent Amarillo's" Pastor-Director David Grisham is as a security guard at a nuclear weapons plant. And not just any plant, but a place that stockpiles the damned things. Why such a creep is allowed to guard our nation's nuclear stockpile is a mystery, and a creepy, cinema noir mystery at that.
Is this a disaster waiting to happen, or what? |

Rachel Tabachnick has an extensive article at Talk To Action about Repent Armadillo Amarillo, and the "Spiritual Mapping" movement. Turns out these Amarillo asshats may be just the noisiest tip of a much larger bullying assberg.
(By the way, the name of the town is pronounced "Am-a-ril'-ah" by the panhandle Tex-Anglos.) |
