Slap the gays around for awhile, though, and the money rolls in.</I><BR/><BR/>Not to mention that if they spoke against divorce in anything approaching the tone they use to condemn homosexuals, they'd immediately lose half of their donors...Eugenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431724892247691165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665762.post-1143737992815441932006-03-30T11:59:00.000-05:002006-03-30T11:59:00.000-05:00If there really is a war on Christians, it's being...If there really is a war on Christians, it's being waged against those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus and try to practice that silly suggestion about loving neighbor as self. And it's being waged by people like those who attend "War on Christians" conferences.<BR/><BR/>I really don't care if they think I'm going to hell for supporting my lgbt brothers and sisters; wherever I end up, the company is bound to be better.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10651455277401911296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665762.post-1143735669510150652006-03-30T11:21:00.001-05:002006-03-30T11:21:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Peterson Toscanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189029949905668568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665762.post-1143735661646792642006-03-30T11:21:00.000-05:002006-03-30T11:21:00.000-05:00It is very popular for "ex-gay" leaders to present...It is very popular for "ex-gay" leaders to present their movement as being an oppressed minority voice that is often silenced by the gay community--a monolith of a media machine with an agenda to destroy the hearts and minds of American youth. <BR/><BR/>It plays well on the fears of the mainstream who somehow forget that as the mainstream they have tons of power and privilege. "Ex-gay" programs not only have web sites, myspace accounts, films, scores of local programs, well publicized (and funded) regional and national events, but they also have virutually every conservative Christian pulpit in America more than willing to spread their message of intolerance. <BR/><BR/>Yet, they say they are an oppressed minority. One of their recent "documentaries" is call "I Do Exist". Um, yeah, we know.Peterson Toscanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189029949905668568noreply@blogger.com
