Evangelical Church wins court case againts hoimosesual group

[QUOTE="jaydough"]

[QUOTE="whipassmt"] C'mon that was long ago. And it wasn't "gays" it was "sodomites" (there is a difference between the two terms). And others were executed that way as well (witches, heretics, etc.).

In five countries, being gay is punishable by death.

They were burned for f***ing other guys, which was deemed as sodomy.

[QUOTE="jaydough"]

[QUOTE="whipassmt"] They were burned as sodomites for their actions (i.e. sodomy). People in the Middle Ages did not think of that in terms of "being gay (in fact the word gay back then meant happy, and in the 18th century referred to prostitutes, the term gay in relation to men attracted to men is quite recent) and "sexual orientation".

I for one, am very supportive of hoimosesuals.jaydough

why is this controversial?

lets boil it down to the facts:

Group A decides to vandalize and disrupt Group B's gathering and building. Pretty clear who is at fault

Why is religion and sexual orientation even a factor in the headlines? Oooooooh cuz it will sell more papers.... :P

Seems fine to me. You don't have the right to disrupt a churches religious service on private property. What the hell was the point of the group doing this anyways? They're only hurting they're cause and making a bad name for normal gay people.

I live in Lansing, MI. I've never seen this Church or group though.

He really did have a problem with Christians, like phobia status; thinking they are all crazy.

Wasn't he Christian though? Or at least Episcopalian.

In my opinion this is why GAY RIGHTs should be banished and they should all get backl in the closet as the more rights they have the more they will abuse it. I dont care if your gay thats fine but keep it to yourself and dont influence NORMAL life and confuse impressionable children. Its Adam and Eve not Adam and steve.

Hm. I must have assumed and thought it the assumption was real due to him being majorly liberal and I really don't see liberals that are Christian. Hm. I should stop stereotyping and assuming.

Or as I like to refer to it, Bible EU.

I practice in front of this Judge on occasion, not shocked at this ruling. I will say that this group would do well to listen and not find themselves back in this court..it would not go well for them.

I'm a parent myself and I can firmly say people like you shouldn't be influencing children.

I can understand them getting a guilty sentence, but I also feel the prospect of a $10,000 fine is a little extreme.
They said it was 'offensive' but I didn't see anything in the excerpt that should be deemed so.

I want to get a job in the evangelical church as one of those people that they touch and cast the demons out of.

He made like half of them.

I agree with the ruling. Don't know what they were trying to accomplish by doing that, but the acting out in a church isn't helping anyone. Hell, it may just make things worse as a truly religious nut would be further convinced that homosexuals are the devils children....

why

[QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]w00t, Saudi Arabia. Lived there. jaydough

why

Considering this was in the Church, I don't see what's wrong with this ruling.

It was immature and offensive for them to act that way while people were at a religious service on private property.

airshocker

Ah, I see, it's alright to **** with people engaged in religious ceremony, so long as you're not on private property. Glad to see your rules of decorum are not based on how people are actually behaving, but rather on who owns what.

Sounds like the judge made the right call on this one.

I don't see what protesting inside a church is going to achieve, what significance did that church hold?

Gay pride parade is on public property.. A Church isprivate property.. I despise the Evangelical movement as much as the next person, but that isn't a good comparison.
