Hey Protestants! Those of you whose churches haven't already capitulated to the queers, brace for collision! The sodomites will be after you, next.

Actually, from the looks of things, it's too late for many of the mainline Protestant denominations. They're already splitting over those issues. All part of the plan, no doubt.

The Evangelical churches need to be on guard because I'm sure they are next. They are now where the mainline Protestant churches were when they started.

Right now, the Catholic Church seems to be taking the brunt of it because they are refusing to back down and compromise their beliefs. This is not unexpected. Anyone who stands for righteousness in this world will be persecuted.

John 15:18-20 If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you. If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.

"Teaching a student about the tenets of a religion is one thing," the student wrote in the e-mail. "Declaring that homosexual acts violate the natural laws of man is another. The courses at this institution should be geared to contribute to the public discourse and promote independent thought; not limit one's worldview and ostracize people of a certain sexual orientation."

Obviously U of I is failing in it's obligation to teach students how to THINK.

“D”- All of the above.

Sodom and Gomorrah don’t seem to have anything over on our culture any more.

Considering the graduation rates in some places, the fact that he warmed a seat for the duration was probably enough.

The Monoversity of Illinois only allows one opinion.
