Against


OK, you’ve told everyone. Over and over and over again. Can there be anyone left in this nation that doesn’t know what you’re against? Is there some WIFI free corner of America that has somehow escaped learning of your oh so righteous wrath?

Gays are an abomination, we’re a nation reaping the consequences of nativity scene free courthouses, no Bible classes in schools, science classes that question whether dinosaurs coexisted with humans, that teach the earth is older than 6000 years. That hurricanes and floods and tornadoes are God’s way of getting even. 

We know how you feel. 

What we don’t know is what are you for other than divine retribution. Now divine retribution might be a way of explaining events, but it’s a crappy way to witness. Jesus knew witnessing, He had it down pat. He fed hungry crowds, healed on the sabbath, dined with sinners (Do you ever wonder, when Jesus ate with the sinners , just who those sinners were, and what their sin was? Wouldn't it be a buzz kill for the neanderthal branch of Christianity if some of them were gay?)

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Luke 4: 18,19

Yeah, Jesus knew witnessing.
