Church Attacked

This is not the only information that was silenced. Here are two more articles. I do not know if the first one is about this article or not. But I was trying to find it by searching and I could not find any until I went on Lifesite and Onnewsnow. You could also go to the Traditional Values site as they might have it there as well. But this is disgusting. If anti homosexuals attacked a 'gay' church, if a bunch of white supremacists attacked a black Baptist church, we would be stormed with articles inferring how evil we are because we were not born black, and how traditional families are bad for society, etc. So is it all right according to the media for homosexuals to attack churches? http://www.onenewsnow.com/Church/Default.aspx?id=315400 http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/nov/08110704.html

When I read this post, I thought that something violent had occurred. It didn't. This was a protest. It was an illegal protest, but a protest all the same. I'm not saying I agree with the methods, but people are angry and they are beginning to believe that remaining placid is not helping. I don't think that these sort of demonstrations help anything and in the end, can do damage to the cause. But I do understand their anger. For the record, a single incident of any kind is not going to make national news unless violence or, God forbid, loss of life occurs. If these demonstrations continue, it will make national news.

I think we will see more and more of this and need to be prepared, both in the natural and supernatural..Jesus said it won't get any easier, just that He will be with us, and it will get worse as the time gets closer to His return..

None of this is really news to me; for well over a couple of decades, at least, the militant homosexual activists have targeted churches all over, including the U.S., disrupting services, & gotten no more than a slap on the wrist fine, at most. That the media refuse to report on it is old news, too. It's who they ARE. It's what they DO. Over 20 years ago, our Bishop refused to allow some oddly-clad men into our church, refusing them Communion, as he knew they were going to steal the Bread & use it in an unholy rite. He knew because they'd done it before. Had anyone EVER dared to do what those perverted men did recently, you'd have had to use a SPONGE to get them off the floor. He simply WOULD NOT TOLERATE blasphemy or violence in our little church! Once, an insane man, with satanic strength, KICKED IN some ancient, heavy carved oak doors to break into the church, & proceeded to desecrate everything he could get his hands or other body parts on. When the Bishop entered that morning to light candles & get ready for service, he saw the maniac standing at the altar with his pants around his ankles, using a bit of cotton padding to wipe up blood streaming from his scratched chest--scratched with a thin piece of glass he'd broken from a lovely little reliquary. He'd also urinated around the church & set fire in places where lit candles already stood. He just looked at the priest & said, "This will show you you're not Christian!" The Bishop tackled him, subdued him, & called the cops. It turned out he was the son of a family who lived directly behind the church, not members, of course. The parents wailed at how "unjust" it was for us to have him arrested, saying, "Well everyone KNOWS he's not in his right mind--he's done this before!" "In that case," the Bishop said sternly, "it's high time he WAS stopped. NOW, maybe he can get the help he NEEDS!" They didn't even offer to pay for the damages. No-one could believe this family wanted to let him go free to do it AGAIN! I realize this isn't about a "gay" man, but the fact that many people refuse to fight those who attack the Church IS relative to this. If you have enemies, first, get down on your knees & fight like a MAN, & then since you live IN this world, you are totally justified in properly using the laws God gave us to FIGHT the wicked in terms they'll comprehend!

As far as I'm concerned... hate crimes, are the purest form of insanity. cdrxo

I agree with you. Church is a sacred place that should be respected by all. Politics have no place in any religious sanctuary. Those people in the article who set off alarms and passed out leaflets by disrupting the church service are very disrespectful and are inflicting their beliefs and rights on others whose rights they are violating, such as their right to pray in peace without having to worry about being harrassed.

I read the article and I think that the gay movement went a bit far here. But you cannot generalize about gays. I would refrain from using such bad terms against gays. NOt all gays are in favour of such behaviour. © ronaldinu 2008

Its a sad story. Thanks for sharing this information. I hope that this gang gets what they deserve

Holy 'effin krap (no pun intended). Disgusting. Granted no one was hurt but this is beyond civil disobedience. Is there even an investigation going on? I don't know wha telse to say, the article speaks volumes.

Boy oh boy, folks have been all over the map on this one haven't they? Everywhere from there is no such thing as born homosexual, to there is no such thing as a hate crime (all crime is a hate crime). Where to start? So protest is legal. Like everything else some protest goes to far, this protest and this group went to far. Obviously. It is easy too then tar all groups seeking a voice with the same brush, but it would be wrong too do so. This group used the civil rights we all enjoy to act in bad faith and in doing so have allowed anyone with an ax to grind to point their finger and say, "see I told you that all those homosexuals were simply deviants and bad human beings". It isn't of course true. Most are just like everyone else. They put their pants on one leg at a time. They go to work each day. They pay taxes, own homes, shop at the same grocery stores. But like every fringe group out there this group gets the attention and makes everyone else look bad. We should all remember that those on the fringe do not represent the majority. As to some of the other interesting comments, well all I can say is hmmmm. No not all crimes are "hate" crimes. Hate crimes are very specific in legal terms. They carry with them specific issues usually of race. Anyone who claims that it is impossible to "know" what a perp is thinking when they commit a "hate" crime, don't bet on it. I am a victim of a racially motivated hate crime, I was shot three times in the process and nearly lost my life. I am fully aware of what they were thinking they said it out loud. Fortunately they also confessed their reasons for their acts. The basis of most crimes are not motivated by race / gender hate, it is ridiculous to believe so. The basis of hate crime legislation is to send a message to those that would cause violence based on race / religion / gender, provide prosecuters additional weapons for prosecution and punishment. Hate crime legislation does not include speech unless that speech is specifically to incite other violence against specific victims.

First and foremost, their protest was a disgusting display of indecency. There are better ways to protest something in a peaceful manner than that. I believe in the right to peaceful protest, it's everyone's right to protest against what they view as immoral and wrong or against their rights. I don't see anything wrong with a protest and I support the ideals of Bash Back but not the presentation of their ideals. It's quite similar to the pro lifers with their big bulletin boards of aborted fetuses in the middle of a community screaming about the right to life (don't get me wrong I'm pro life for ME, but would never mock someone else who had an abortion, the emotional turmoil of aborting a baby is bad enough women who go through abortion should not be kicked while they are down). Same thoughts on PETA as well, they are evil little creatures those people in the fact that they associate violence with getting their messages across rather than peaceful demonstration and protest. I support gay rights and I think it's wrong to bash a gay person for something that is a part of who they are. Just as I support the fact that any person may believe in what they chose to believe in. It is these types of actions on all sides of these debates (the religious groups, the hardcore protesters, ect) that cause both sides to get heated and cause a bad reputation for anyone who protests for the same issues. The minority does not voice the opinions of the majority and we all need to remember that. As for Bash Back, wonderful concept just being done wrong. It's about time someone screams back at the ones screaming sin, blasphemy and wrong. I don't think they are on the same level as the KKK personally, I just think they went about protesting and distributing their ideals in the wrong fashion. It's like that old saying "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar". People turn themselves off to your thoughts when they are being forced down their throats and screamed in their faces. Not the best way to get a point across when you use aggression and violence and hateful words. That's been proven here on MyLot over and over with the heated discussions that occur in certain topic matter for quite sometime.

I too found the email article upsetting. I hope that charges are being pressed. No reason to behave like this. What a terrible example for the youth in the Church.
