So depending on where you live in the world, you may or may not know what the Salvation Army is. Up here in Canada, it's a charitable organization based in fundamental Christianity that feeds, clothes and otherwise helps the less fortunate...And converts them. They also run a very successful chain of thrift stores. So it has come out in the news today that in their annual campaign of opening their doors to Christmas Gift donations for the needy - They either outright deny, or throw out any donations that have ANYTHING to do with Harry Potter or Twilight - The reason for this being that they don't want to be associated with witchcraft or black magic.  Discuss. |

Truth be told, I didn't know they opposed homosexuality until earlier today when a friend mentioned it. It's so weird that an organization with the "mission" of helping people has so many prejudices. I'm not gonna get deep into it right now, although I knew when I posted this thread that opinions would likely be similar. |

Man that's one ugly girl. That's rude. She's transgendered. --- And yes, what do you expect? The Salvation Army is a fundamentalist Christian organization. They're nuts. |

Totally read this as Christ's Army. I know I'm quoting Zang, in a way, but still, thats the way I read it.

But "Christ" as in "PRAISE THE LAWD JEEBUS CHRIST" -- the monster who hates gay people, and maybe black people, and REALLY hates Mexicans, and encourages people to buy as many guns as they can. |

Damn them! Did you even watch the video I posted? There are loads of other non-discriminatory organizations that do the exact same thing. |
