Also, the marriage equality bills we're recently seen in New England make it explicitly clear that churches will not be forced to recognize any marriages they disapprove of. Meg, your religious freedom is not in danger, and no one is forcing you to accept homosexuality. I agree.

My point in making that statement was that ---since slavery--- which simularly divided the church, community, families etc, homosexuality is the greatest challenge <em>of this season</em> . The difference in what you stated (which by the way is true) is that the false prophet is an entity wholly enclosed <strong>within the church</strong> whereas homosexuality is a threat not only within (gay christian movement) but a substantial threat from without (gay political movement). This is why we need both <a href="http://gcmwatch.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/christian-apologetics-and-polemics-desparately-needed/" rel="nofollow">polemics and apologetics</a> in this season. We are being attacked on both fronts by one entity if you will. I hope you see the point I was trying to make. Many of these denominations are not aware of how heavily the gay political movement funds its religious counterparts to overthrown righteous rule within the churches. Once that is accomplished, you will barely recognize these denominations as "Christian". Pastor Moore, the false prophet was also very visible in both the Old and New Testaments.

You are woefully uninformed. More than thirty states already have hate crime legislation that includes anti-gay crimes — and in none of those states has notorious gay hater Fred Phelps been arrested for his speech. I'm hoping that you won't have anything to worry about either!! It’s clear what the GOP and the religious right is really concerned about is any perceived infringement on their right to discriminate against gay people.
