It's my own fault for not looking into it for myself, but I feel totally manipulated. I was so angry that Christians were being made "victims" by gay activists, I was becoming bitter towards them. I see now that this notion was all a fabrication. I will be discontinuing AFA's e-mail list and writing them a letter confronting their dishonesty.

That belief inherently insists that they also believe all others are wrong. <BR/><BR/>To put it plainly. If you believe that Jesus is God, then by definition you must believe that a muslim who says he is not God is wrong. If you believe that Jesus is the "One True God", by definition you must believe that Shiva is not God and Hindu's are wrong.<BR/><BR/>Therefore, what then are we to do about that? Well if we follow Jesus' example, we'll see that the only time he bacame militant in regard to "religion" was when he overturned the tables of the moneychangers. (We are familiar with that passage). Notice, he only became militant when someone from his own religion (so to speak) was behaving contrary to it.<BR/><BR/>People who believe that Homosexuality is ok are going to act on those beliefs. If you believe otherwise, there is no shame in saying so; however, understand that they are not coming from the same worldview as you are, so do not become militant in this respect. To do so would place you on the same level as Muslim terrorists, who seek to destroy Christians because they do not believe in Allah. <BR/><BR/>say what you want...act with caution.<BR/><BR/>Well said Tia.

Members of the masked gang told him to tell the other "faggots" that they'd do worse to them if they ever saw on the streets. Authorities could not call in federal help to investigate because sexual orientation is not covered in hate-crime law in our state. I hope this bill does pass and all the haters stop lying to ensure that it doesn't. I don't care what preachers teach from their pulpits, they have a right to say it, and nothing in this bill would take away their precious right to spiritually condemn homosexuals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159579060332591141.post-34362550302325073002007-09-02T15:26:00.000-04:002007-09-02T15:26:00.000-04:00I for one do not believe in special protection for...I for one do not believe in special protection for minorities or other people groups.

You certainly do ruffle the feathers of prisoners to narrow ideologies.<BR/><BR/>This hate-crime law has been sieged upon by deceitful preachers, like Rick Scarborough, that play on people's fear with their politically-crafted lies. <BR/><BR/>Psalms 101:7, "He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight." <BR/><BR/>Proverbs 21:6, "The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159579060332591141.post-46603886475545138732007-09-01T15:05:00.000-04:002007-09-01T15:05:00.000-04:00Oh matty, how you make me tired! No one is asking ...Oh matty, how you make me tired! <BR/><BR/>No one is asking you to approve of gay lifestyles or any other lifestyle that runs contrary to your personal religious beliefs. This legislation is asking people to DISAPPROVE of violence committed against minorities by granting authorities more resources to investigate heinous crimes and criminal organizations. <BR/><BR/>No matter how you personally feel about homosexuals, according to federal crime statistics, they make up nearly 20 percent of all hate-crime victims in the U.S. This should be an outrage and a concern for all believers in Christ.<BR/><BR/>I assume you don't approve of people believing in other religions besides Christianity, such as Islam or Buddhism. But people who ascribe to those religions are protected under existing hate-crime law. Do they not CHOOSE to fashion their lives after a religion in opposition to Christianity? Why aren't you calling for those people to lie in the beds that they have made as you are for gays? Or better yet, why not remove the log from your own eye by lobbying for CHRISTIANS to be removed from hate-crime law protection. You can't argue against special rights, while you yourself could benefit from hate-crime law if anyone was to harm you because of your faith. <BR/><BR/>Be consistent and fair-don't oppose hate-crime legislation because a particular group you are morally opposed to will be more efficiently protected from unlawful and IMMORAL vigilante violence and terror.Tia Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131181929874342944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159579060332591141.post-59800917293482073522007-09-01T12:32:00.000-04:002007-09-01T12:32:00.000-04:00The old saying goes, "you made your bed, now you h...The old saying goes, "you made your bed, now you have to lie in it." Why should gays enjoy special protection for their chosen deviant lifestyles? If they didn't live that way, they wouldn't have to worry about "hate-crimes" committed against them.

I've been following this hatecrime debate and scratching my head about all claims that pastors will be dragged from pulpits to jail and churches will be forced to perform marriages for gay people. Anyone who has read these bills knows that is all nonsense, but too many don't read the bills and get swept up in all hype. Don't people realize that hatecrime laws have existed for decades and people of all creeds have been free to criticize, oppose, and publicly vocalize their opinions? The American Family Association should be ashamed of themselves for willfully deceiving the people that trust them for accurate information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
