In other news mass murders are protesting the 10 commandments saying it offends them.

Anyone have a tour stop list? I would like to know if my undergrad school is a stop?

I'm guessing that these are private schools, and their campuses are private property. As a result, these protestors should be arrested and jailed prior to the staging of protests.

I'm not sure how one can be sexually active, nevermind bisexual or homosexual and maintain themselves to be conservative Christian.

The two just don't mix, although I know all about sin and temptation. I just have a hard time imagining this bus of sexually active mongrels showing up on a Christian campus to tout their "lifestyle" and what? seek acceptance? I mean they worlds apart.

I believe they were arrested when they showed up at Jerry Falwell's LBC.

It's a sad sign of the times that a religion that has been forced to be open and tolerant of all deviant lifestyles remains under attack from the most intolerant of people.

Once again proving that gay activists do not believe in tolerance and religious freedom...

For the next seven weeks, the group Soulforce will test the hospitality of Christian colleges.



We have a well known Pastor in the Seattle area that took a strong stand against the perversion of marriage. He wound up with pflag protesting AT THE CHURCH.

He did the Christian thing and invited them in, so long as they agreed to sit quietly and not disrupt the sermon. I thought it was a great way to show the ass rammers that we aren't all a bunch of knuckle draggers.

I've seen it all, now:

"When Paul was writing in the New Testament, he didn't have an understanding of homosexuality as we know it today," he said. We believe that Christ is our best defense, because the message of Christ was always to embrace people and love them."

Well done, there, lad. Now consider the fact that Paul may well have been a bit more in touch with Jesus' teachings than you are some 2,000 years removed.

And while Christ did teach to love unconditionally, he also said to go and sin no more. But perhaps because he lived 2,000 years ago, he did not understand homosexuality like we do today.

This is one group of protestors that might actually enjoy a state in a Federal Pound Me in the @#$ Prison!

(Office Space reference, for those who didn't catch it.)

Exactly.

They should be met coming off of their buses or whatever with smiles, made to feel welcome, offered refreshments, and invited in hear the Gospel.

This is a perfect opportunity to:

There is no need to "judge". The Word of God is like a two-edged sword and will either have them broken with shame or getting out of their seats and walking out.

And if they jeer and heckle? Well then they'd be exposed, wouldn't they?

The Christians need to return a favor and visit Act Up and some gay pride parades. Assuming they have the stomach for it, of course. I say turn the other cheek, but only to conceal the fact that you're drawing a weapon.

Just wondering, then, how all them married couples at my church keep procreating all them liitle ones.
