So what if most of you have seen it already...

True Story. A religion teacher assigned her class an essay on what makes a good Christian. One student wrote about praying nightly, say no to abortion, banning gay marriage, and donating money. The other student wrote about talking to God and allowing people to enjoy their lives, and supporting gay marriage. The day the teacher was to hand the papers back, she called up the second student and told him she would pray for him when he went to hell. The student asked why would he be going to hell, and why he got an F on his paper. The teacher told him that Catholisim is against gay marriage. The student looked at her for a minute, then said aloud, "I'm gay." The teacher kicked him out of class as if he had said fuck or worshiped Satan. A girl in the back of class who had a boyfriend and was obviously straight got up and left too.

If you would leave the classroom, repost this. It doesn't matter if you're straight, bi, or gay. It doesn't matter if you're Catholic or not. Everyone is a human being and deserves happiness.

Hi Maddie, do you have the source link to this story? I've been trying to find it and no one has been able to supply it to me. I'm beginning to think it may be fake.

Sadly no, hon. I stole it off Rhona. It may indeed be fake.

You freelancing for Snopes? :-)

I wish :p

I just really hate these things that have no evidence of being real. If true this is awful, and to be honest I'm sure stuff like it has and does happen every-so-often in soem places. But equally, if false this is also awful as it really casts Christians in a very negative light and whilst no nationality is given (which is another give away of it being fake imho) it does tend to feel lie it's aimed at Americans.

Now whilst I am the first to bitter complain (and take the piss) out of religious right-wing narrowed minded Americans (or any religious right-wing person reghardless of nationality) and wave banners for freedom of expression, etc, I like to do so within the boundaries of facts (well - most of the time :p). If I can't confirm something I generally don't believe it.

The quest continues.....
