Atheist vs Preacher

[GSOgymrat]

Interesting interaction, although I don't consider it so much a debate as an interview with a series of half-baked leading questions. Once again, homosexuality is used as the moral litmus test.

In the US, homosexuality is a purely political issue ... aka a religious issue.  Politics is America's real religion.  Either you tolerate variant people or you do not ... blaming G-d for one's bigotry is ... childish.

"You don't look like an atheist."

Oh, this interview is off to a great start.

*Fifteen leading questions trying to convince her that her parents weren't good Christian parents*

Okay, I'm done. I don't know how Jaclyn has so much patience with this asshole.

[Hydra009]

Those dastardly radical homosexuals.  How dare they go into a store that sells wedding cakes and ask for a wedding cake.  Horrible!  Horrible I tells ya!

[SGOS]

I don't know how Jaclyn has so much patience with this asshole.

I want to marry her and have her baby.

[doorknob]

yeah I can't watch much of this. This preacher is just too something. Oh what's the word I'm looking for? Guess I'll think of it later.

Any how good luck Jacklyn. I know how much trouble she's been having getting back into the community with all the constant criticism.

[Johan]

She was entirely too nice to that asshat.

Given the audience of that show (or lack there of) I'm glad she was unfailingly nice. Appearances are very important. When he was mining her relationship with her parents for imperfections I wish she had responded, "I can see from your many personal questions you believe the relationship with one's parents is very important. Fortunately I was privileged to be raised in an intact household by two loving Christian parents. Since we are being so familiar, how about your family? Was your father present in your life? Do you believe in a heavenly father to fill the void of a father who was absent when you were a child?"

I liked Jaclyn Glenn's reaction to that preacher:

I've always wondered what goes on behind the scene in an interview like that and what's going through interviewee's mind as she's peppered with leading questions and bizarre tangents.  Apparently, one of Jaclyn's stipulations was dishonored - she didn't get a full, unedited copy of the interview - and she had kind of a hard time dealing with the rapid-fire format.  If she had a minute or two to think about it, she would've reacted a little more strongly to the nonsense going on.

I too liked hearing the behind the scenes. I don't know that challenging the preacher would have persuaded the preacher's audience, as clearly from the comments they didn't like her from the start. I think she was correct that just getting his audience to continue to listen to her was the goal.

Also, I was totally preoccupied with her cat.

Speaking of audience, check out those empty chairs! :D

Yeah, well, that's how it goes.  Present an opinion someone doesn't like and you run into this stuff all the time.  It happens.  It's frustrating to deal with, but there's not much one can do about it.

Did anybody think they'd keep their promises?

[SGOS]

Did anybody think they'd keep their promises?

I would have been surprised.

[Hydra009]

Did anybody think they'd keep their promises?

Jaclyn did.  Hell, I would have if I had been in her place.  I mean, it's an easy thing to do and it'd be a extremely scummy thing to go back on.  It'd be like stabbing an intern during an armistice meeting.  Sure, you could do it, but why would you?  What's in it for you?

[Blackleaf]

After them going back on their first promise, and looking up his previous videos with other victims and seeing how he likes to try to force people into a corner, I would have backed out.
