It's Getting DARK...U.S. Churces being forced to allow use for homosexuals

[LastVoter]

Let's see:

-Mormons, who are specifically targeted for more than just opposing gay marriage and who aren't even Christian anyway. Seriously jmfcst why would you care? Would be offended by "kiss-ins" in mosques?
-The Pope visiting. Not just some random church that preaches against homosexuality.
-Mars Hill, which is basically known for trying to push anti-gay politics amongst a normally progressive set.

So yeah, proves brittain's point. I find it hilarious jmfcst would bring up a MORMON church of all things as an example of Christians being targeted lol. jmfcst do you have a problem with Christians protesting Mormon churches like this?

I am honestly surprised you would know about Mars Hill.

jmfcst, here's an incident that happened around 2003 or so with the vocalist of a Christian hardcore band. He later apologized for it, but like 5 years later. And btw he is heterosexual and married.

He went to a Mass at the Catholic Church he was baptized and confirmed in wearing a hoodie. During communion he followed up and took a wafer. He threw the wafer to the ground and stomped on it, and then removed his hoodie revealing a shirt with an image of two guys kissing. He then threw some pamphlets to the ground about following Jesus and not religion and walked out.

Do you disapprove of that? Would you be offended if he did so at a Mormon church? Remember that unlike the Mormons he is a Christian.

I am honestly surprised you would know about Mars Hill.

They have good music. It's too bad the church is so vile and Driscoll is a nutjob, because I really like their music.

Yea it is, quite a taint on Seattle, it's also quite misogynistic

1Cor 15:19 "If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied."

This isn't the jmfcst going off half cocked.  Rather, this is a done deal.  The are LEGIONS of lawyers all over the country preparing for this battle, and the battle lines have already been drawn and the victor has already been declared.  Both sides know EXACTLY how this is going to be fought.

to clarify - the church will lose this court battle.  we will be shut down and be forced to go underground.

Nobody is forcing the church to do anything. I am sure that evangelical churches also opposed Civil Rights and black people using their buildings.

So jmf, wouldn't it be easier to allow gays to get married in the church than engage in tax dodging?
