Homosexual ‘Tolerance’ on Display in Church

By Bob Ellis on January 21st, 2009

pulpit3While Rick Warren isn’t the most conservative and Biblically-grounded Christian around (after all, Warren did say he was okay with homosexual unions as long as they weren’t called “marriage,” and he did commend Barack Obama’s selection of the openly homosexual priest V. Gene Robinson), apparently that isn’t nearly enough to belay a fresh demonstration of “tolerance” from the homosexual community.

The New York Times reports that when Warren spoke at an Atlanta church on Martin Luther King Day, he was met with insults and protests.

About 100 protesters gathered outside with signs that read, “No bigotry in MLK’s church” and “We still have a dream.”

Bigotry against a behavior? One that is Biblically immoral, clearly unnatural, and clinically established to be unhealthy?

Apparently homosexual activists couldn’t even respect the sanctity of the church sanctuary:

Before he began speaking, a woman in the audience yelled, “Rick Warren is a bigot!”

A bigot for simply repeating what the Bible says about the sinfulness of homosexual behavior and the fact that we are all responsible for the moral–and immoral–choices we make.

Is someone a bigot if they condemn adultery? Is someone a bigot if the condemn heterosexual sex outside of marriage? Is someone a bigot if they condemn drunkenness?

And for a group that typically demands such a level of “tolerance” from Christians that it isn’t even permissible to repeat the Bible (much less protest homosexual gatherings, go into their churches and yell, assault homosexuals,  disrupt their services, burn holy texts, and call people “niggers,” some of them have a funny way of showing tolerance back toward Christianity.

You’re a tough act to follow, guys!

    It would certainly be nice if you could acknowledge all the gay and lesbian people who don't go into churches to disrupt services...who don't demonstrate...who quietly live their lives. But then that would be asking too much from a yellow journalist.
  • When anyone--be it a private individual, a blogger, a newsman, a politician, whoever--discusses a problem or problem segment of society, I don't recall them spending any time acknowledging all those who were NOT actively causing a problem.

    In other words, when we talk about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, is it really necessary to take the time to point out that not all Japanese people participated in the attack?

    When we talk about the German conquest of Europe in WWII, do we really need to take the time to point out that not all Germans participated in the war?

    When we talk about the millions of Mexicans coming across our southern border illegally, do we really need to take the time to point out that not all Mexicans are attempting to enter our country illegally?

    When we talk about the massive amount of crime, corruption and suffering that comes with the illegal drug culture, do we really need to take the time to point out that not all people who use illegal drugs will become involved in crime, corruption, or even experience serious suffering?

    I could go on, but I think I've made my point.

    Mr Ellis, you just don't get it. We will not back down. I don't care if you or the false prophet Warren 'tolerate' me. You can be as intolerant as you want - We will get equal right.
  • Eric, I don't think you get it. We will not back down.

    We will not stand idly by while homosexual activists like yourself attempt to normalize an immoral and unhealthy behavior.

    We will not be quiet while you attempt to hijack the most important social institution in humanity: marriage.

    We will not stop exposing your lies, such as the one that you don't have equal rights. Homosexuals already have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex, just as heterosexuals do. The fact that you don't want to exercise that right does not give you the option to substitute a counterfeit that has no societal value.

    Truth doesn't change, and neither does the nature of human sexuality, and we're going to be here to stand for what is right until Hell freezes over or the Lord comes back. And that won't change, either.
