#1) Christian Coalition: Gays Should Wear Warning Labels

The leader of a conservative Christian lobby group says that gays should be required to wear warning labels.

"We put warning labels on cigarette packs because we know that smoking takes one to two years off the average life span, yet we 'celebrate' a lifestyle that we know spreads every kind of sexually transmitted disease and takes at least 20 years off the average life span according to the 2005 issue of the revered scientific journal Psychological Reports," said Rev. Bill Banuchi, executive director of the New York Christian Coalition.

The journal regularly publishes articles described by many mainstream psychologists as misleading and faulty. The homosexuality morbidity study was conducted by the conservative anti-gay Family Research Institute.

#2) Creating a Christian flag for God and country

COLORA - Marcia Thompson Eldreth sees in the United States a Christian nation, inspired by Scripture and dedicated to propositions conveyed in biblical prophesy. She asks: Why not a U.S. national Christian flag? "Our nation was based on Judeo-Christian principles," Eldreth said. "Blessed is the country whose God is Lord."

Phones were ringing steadily on six lines, Eldreth said, when a thunderstorm rolled in over the house. "I turned on the prayer and worship music because it started to feel like a spiritual attack," Eldreth said. She recalled stepping to the front door in time to see lightning strike a utility pole across the road: "I saw a ball of blue fire come off that telephone pole." The bolt knocked out the phones until the next morning. Eldreth understood it as a sign.

"I took it as spiritual warfare," Eldreth said. "I grinned when the fire come off the pole." She said she thought, "Thanks for the affirmation, Satan."

In her rendition, the eagle soars in a sky-blue field encircled by a band of red, representing the blood of Christ, encircled by another band of blue representing Christ's bruises. Flying on a ribbon in the eagle's beak is a quote from Matthew 24: "Take heed that no man deceive you." A blue border tracing the rectangle of the flag is salted with 50 stars, representing, Eldreth said, "American Christians in each of the 50 states."

She has made 2,500 of the banners, but is not sure how many she has sold.

Is she sure that sign was from Satan??
 
Again, these are isolated cases. If you think a majority of republicans or Christian leaders think gays should wear label warning then you are dumber then the people who proposed such a thing in the first place.

BTW, I love the link: www.365gay.com

Good thing its not www.364gay.com, I heard those guys articles really slant their news toward pro-gay stuff. ;)
 
Isolated or not, the christian coalition has the backing of and access to people in positions of power that you simply don't. The person saying this is the director of only one state's CC, so technically you are correct. To be in that position is indicative of your ability to represent the group at large, so I wouldn't immediately say that the sentiment is not shared by others.

Again, isolated or not, power is important. Hegemony, baby: it's the new thing.

myke.

Although Rich is the only person on my ignore list, I don't give him, nor CTLesq, the time of day. It's fascinating to see the very same people who constantly poke fun at Quackzilla's two sentence simplicity post in forms with roughly the same level of detail, but with twice the opacity.

myke.
...truly, if you're the only one laughing at the jokes you've made, or the only one who understands your arguments, you're not worth anyone's time. Furthermore, if you need to constantly remind us how superior your intellect is, then your posts aren't doing a very good job of convincing anyone of that.
