Wanna know what’s wrong with Focus On the Family or the Southern Baptist Convention? According to Jim Rudd of the Christian Street Preachers Alliance, they’ve gone soft:
After confronting people out on the street with what the Word of God says and then reading what is happening in the news, I have to ask the question, “Why are the pro-family groups having such a hard time discussing the crime of sodomy?” What has become evident to me is the fact that most of these groups do not publicly address sodomy as a crime and then demand that our civil authorities arrest, prosecute, and punish the sodomites.
…
Many pro-family groups are capitulating to the false notion that “gay rights,” in fact, exist and therefore, are not maintaining their focus on addressing the truth that sodomy is a crime.
Consequently, these groups are now finding themselves in protracted, defensive strategies while criminals are allowed to sodomize each other and members of society with impunity.
That was in 2001. His views haven’t changed much since then:
Civil officials have a God ordained duty to execute sodomites.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

Hey Guys,
The new online movie titled ZeitGeist (google it), that is also premiering in LA Nov 10th, is astounding. I now know why we have so many problems with discrimination in all religious factions.
Watching this movie online fully resolved all my questions around the church and being a gay American.
If you are gay bi or straight, and on the hunt for religious resolution in general, this movie is a must see.
Happy Hunting.

The Civil officials are probably too busy executing patrons of seafood restaurants to bother with the sodomites. Mis-placed priority sorta thing.

That’s what I keep saying – why am I still alive? The fact that I’m still breathing just goes to show how insincere these people are.
I’m totally over it.
