Critic Assails Gay Activists' False Claims, Radical Demands

A conservative critic says for those willing to take an objective look, it is easy to see that honesty is not considered a virtue in the homosexual community.

Bob Knight of the Culture and Family Institute says at the recent Methodist Student Forum 2004 gathering in Conway, Arkansas, pro-homosexual issues were presented and discussed, followed by a communion service, in which the bread that was used was rainbow colored.

Hendrix College Chaplain Wayne Clark, who brought the bread, claimed it was not meant to promote the homosexual rainbow theme. However, Knight has his doubts. He says, "To say that the rainbow-colored Eucharist has nothing to do with the gay agenda shows the dishonesty of these folks. Satan is the father of lies and one of the worst lies that has been told in our modern era is that homosexuality is inborn, natural, and not dangerous."

But all that, according to Knight, is far from the truth. "All of those three things are lies. People are not born gay; they can overcome it, and if they don't they're in for real tragedy," he says. He adds that any church that embraces such lies and celebrates sexual perversion ceases to be a real church.

Yet, even as homosexual pride and equality proponents push for acceptance and affirmation of their lifestyle within the church, many are also demanding endorsement on a much broader scale. Knight notes that many homosexual activists are not very happy with President George W. Bush right now because he has again refused to declare June as official "Gay Pride Month."

But the Culture and Family Institute spokesman says these activists really have no reason to complain. He notes, "When President Bush came into office, he left all the Clinton radical gay policies intact, but he did not issue a Gay Pride Month notice as Clinton had, so I'm not surprised that he would continue that policy of not issuing it."

However, Knight feels Bush should do more to show that the White House does not endorse these pro-homosexual observances. While his failure to make an official declaration may make a sort of statement by inaction, Knight says what Bush should do is "go beyond it and forbid the federal agencies from having their own gay pride celebrations."

The president has made no such move as yet. Meanwhile, most federal agencies will observe "Gay Pride Month" with special forums, picnics, and rally events throughout the remainder of the month.

...a communion service, in which the bread that was used was rainbow colored.

"...take these Lucky Charms and eat of them..."

They took communion unworthly..which is a condemnation. To take such a communion as they did was a celebration of an abomination of the LAW..which says a man shall not have sex with another man. The same with a womam.

Lucifer must be really jumping for joy with these people on the loose.

Suuuuuuuuuure....Why not just sell advertising on it, Chaplain?

Damn you! You just made me flush my nose with Bass Ale.

Even so, that's one hilarious line - good work!

To Whom it May Concern:
I am a proud United Methodist Scholar at Hendrix College. I have known Wayne Clark, the chaplain, for many years. I think it is ridiculous (knowing him as I do) to think that he would ever intentionally offend anyone. He is not a radical liberal, and to suggest that he is undermines his strong character. I know what happened at Student Forum; he needed a lot of bread for the Communion service, and he just thought the bread looked cool. He had never seen it before. Of course, he didn't think about the repercussions of buying the cool bread. But I am outraged at this attack on his character. It is appalling to me that people of such moral fiber as the self-righteous people who post on this page question the word of someone who made a simple thoughtless mistake. Wayne Clark is someone to whom I look as a role model, and I will continue to consider him a wonderful mentor and friend. I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to talk with him. After only a short time, he or she would discover how honest he is and how concerned he is with the feelings of others. Offensive is the last word that comes to mind when I think of him.
