Via The Montgomery News:

Alabama evangelist Paul Acton Bowen has been sentenced to 1,008 years in prison – the maximum on all counts – for his guilty pleas to sexually abusing a half dozen teenagers. In addition, he was ordered to pay $840,000 in fines for all counts, also the maximum.

Bowen served for 12 years in a local church, led a citywide student Bible study in Gadsden and was also the host of xlroads TV, a worldwide broadcast viewed weekly by millions of teens and adults in every city in America and more than 170 countries around the world.

After his arrest last year Bowen was suppose to abide by the “Billy Graham Rule” and never be alone with a female other than his wife or with a male under 16 years old. Garmon acknowledges that the second half of that rule “was not always honored.” Dan Savage has photo evidence about that.

Mike Pence Tells Liberty University Graduating Class To Prepare to be Persecuted for Being “Christians”

Featured, Religious Morons and Anti-Gay Idiots, , , , ,

USA Today reports:

Pence, who has been facing criticisms of his own religious views recently, warned graduates that they have to stay strong against the challenges they’ll get from Hollywood, the media and the secular left. “Some of the loudest voices for tolerance today have little tolerance for traditional Christian beliefs,” Pence said. “Be ready.”

“Throughout most of American history, it’s been pretty easy to call yourself Christian,” Pence said. “It didn’t even occur to people that you might be shunned or ridiculed for defending the teachings of the Bible. But things are different now.”

Pence referenced the Biblical figures of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego is warning graduates that they are going “to be asked to bow down to the idols of the popular culture.”

They are not ridiculed for being christian, they are being ridiculed and called out for for using their religion as a shield for their bigotry.

I’d bake the poor extremist snowflakes a cake, but they’re christian, so…

Pete Buttigieg Heckled and Interrupted 4 Times by Homophobic Protesters In Texas

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, , , , ,

Gay Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg was interrupted and heckled by protesters at an event in Dallas, Texas on Friday night

Buttigieg, was speaking at the Dallas County Democratic Party’s Johnson Jordan Dinner Friday when he was interrupted by anti-gay remarks. by the group “Truth and Justice” run by anti-gay nutjob Randall Terry.

The protesters yelled, “Marriage is between a man and a woman,” and, “Repent,” according to CNN reporter DJ Judd, who was in the audience. Judd also filmed footage of a woman being ushered out of the venue for making anti-abortion comments.

After the 4th, interruption Buttigieg continued his speech by saying, “The moment I packed my bags for Afghanistan, I did so to defend that man’s freedom of speech..”

Buttigieg at one point deadpanned saying that it was a “lively room” 

Later on Friday night Texas native Beto O’Rourke another Democratic Presidential hopeful, apologized to his competitor for the incident on Twitter.

“Texans don’t stand for this kind of homophobia and hatred. Mayor Pete, we are grateful you came to Texas and hope to see you and Chasten back again soon,” O’Rourke wrote.

This is not the first time Buttigieg has been attacked on the campaign trail for being gay.

In Iowa homophobic “Christian” protesters interrupted his speech screaming about the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, which the Bible says were destroyed by what it calls sinful acts, including sodomy.

“The good news is the condition of my soul is in the hands of God, but the Iowa caucuses are up to you,” Buttigieg responded in stride as the protesters were ushered away. “Remember the beauty of our democracy. Everyone here gets the exact same voice and vote. Feels like the numbers are on our side,” he added.

Missionary Killed By Remote Tribe Toured With Liberty Counsel Hate Group President Mat Staver

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, , , , , ,

The death of an American christian missionary John Allen Chau on an isolated Indian island has cast a rare and unwelcome spotlight on the Sentinelese, thought to be the world’s most reclusive hunter-gatherer tribe despite the fact that researchers have long warned that any contact with outsiders could devastate the reclusive tribe as they likely have no immunity to many modern diseases.

The murder also cast a spotlight on Chau himself who now it turns out four years ago went on a sabbatical with Liberty Counsel hate group leader Mat Staver, who is also the founder and chairman of Covenant Journey, a program that takes college students on tours of Israel.

USA Today reports:

P.C. Joshi, an anthropology professor at Delhi University who has studied the islands, said the isolated tribe has little resistance to diseases and could die from contact with outsiders.

Chau had wanted ever since high school to go to North Sentinel to share Jesus with the indigenous people, said Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Covenant Journey, a program that takes college students on tours of Israel to affirm their Christian faith. Chau went through that program in 2015.

“He didn’t go there for just adventure. I have no question it was to bring the gospel of Jesus to them,” Staver said. Staver said Chau’s last notes to his family on Nov. 16 told them that they might think he was crazy but that he felt it was worth it and asked that they not be angry if he was killed.

Staver the disgusting human being that he is, is already using Chau’s death for Liberty Counsel propaganda and publicity.

Via press release from hate group leader Mat Staver:

John Allen Chau, a Covenant Journey alumni, was martyred on November 17, 2018 by the Sentinelese tribal people on the island of North Sentinel. In its effort to preserve the distinctness of the indigenous Sentinelese, the Indian government has granted extreme autonomy – even to the point of allowing the senseless murder of outsiders.

This is not right. His family deserves to bring John’s body back home where he can be buried. Human life is a universal inalienable right. John was seeking to bring them peace and the Prince of Peace. May his sacrifice bring about change and new life to many in North Sentinel and around the world.

He wanted to befriend the Sentinelese to share Jesus with them. He loved Jesus more than life. John was a courageous martyr for Jesus. John’s life and his love for Jesus, to the point of giving his own life to bring the gospel to others, will be remembered and will echo throughout eternity. I know that God will bring good out this loss

Perhaps Staver should get the body by himself and bring a big box of smallpox infected blankets to spread Jesus’ love with.

150 Extremist Evangelical Religious Leaders Sign ‘Christian Manifesto’ On Human Sexuality

Featured, Religious Morons and Anti-Gay Idiots, , ,

A nationwide coalition of more than 150 conservative Christian leaders signed a statement, released Tuesday, affirming their beliefs on human sexuality, including that marriage is between one man and one woman and approval of “homosexual immorality” is sinful.

The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood which was founded in 1987 and based in Louisville, KY created a list of 14 beliefs, referred to as the Nashville Statement, is a response to an increasingly post-Christian, Western culture that thinks it can change God’s design for humans, according to the statement. 

“Our true identity, as male and female persons, is given by God. It is not only foolish, but hopeless, to try to make ourselves what God did not create us to be,” the statement from the coalition members reads.

In a press release, John Piper, co-founder of The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, called the Nashville Statement a “Christian manifesto” on human sexuality.

“It speaks with forthright clarity, biblical conviction, gospel compassion, cultural relevance, and practical helpfulness,” Piper said. “It will prove to be, I believe, enormously helpful for thousands of pastors and leaders hoping to give wise, biblical, and gracious guidance to their people.”

The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood convened a meeting of evangelical leaders, pastors and “scholars” Friday at the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission’s annual conference in Nashville. The coalition discussed and endorsed the statement. 

Signers included well known anti-LGBT religious extremist : James Dobson, founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, and Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council in the District of Columbia

Dobson and four others — Senior Pastor Ronnie Floyd of Cross Church, which has four campuses in northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri; Pastor Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas; President Richard Land of the Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, N.C.; televangelist James Robison, founder of Fort Worth-based Life Outreach International — also are members of President Trump’s evangelical advisory board.

Pastor Brandan Robertson of MissionGathering Christian Church in San Diego, an LGBT activist who helped organize a protest at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission conference, called the statement an affront to God’s creative design.

“When your theology breeds death, your theology is not of God,”  he stated.

 

Banks Stop Donations To Florida Private School Vouchers Programs Over LGBT Discrimination

FRC’s Latest Money Beg Goes After LGBT Rights Activist Tim Gill and His Gay “Dark Money”

Featured, Religious Morons and Anti-Gay Idiots, , , , ,

 

August 10, 2017

Dear XXXX,

There is an underground network of liberal operatives, funded by “dark money” from a wealthy, anti-marriage billionaire that is threatening the conservative ideals we value.

Tim Gill has been funding and operating this network for years, but he has managed to fly under the radar of many. NOW new information is coming to light.

A recent national interview exposed that he’s spent more than $422 million over the last two decades to stop our progress for marriage, life, and pro-family causes.

Gill has joined with the nation’s most extreme liberals to attack Christian values, set up networks within states to overturn pro-family legislation, and force his radical, anti-family agenda on us all.

FRC Action is working to stand up to Tim Gill’s agenda and defeat these radical efforts. Can we depend on your gift of $25, $35, $50, $100, or more to help us continue defending faith, family, and freedom? (Money beg link removed)

Tim Gill has been called “the nation’s most powerful force for LGBTQ rights.”

He has organized professional sports boycotts against states like North Carolina to “punish” them for passing laws to defend religious liberty.

The lead attorney on the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which forced all 50 states to redefine marriage, recently said, “Without a doubt, we would not be where we are without Tim Gill.”

He’s even cozied up to George Soros to help fund liberal media groups like Media Matters, which permeate the airwaves with extreme left-wing rhetoric.

Over 12 years, Gill donated more than $2 million to the George Soros-funded Media Matters and more than $3 million to other Leftist media organizations.

It is going to take a well-orchestrated, well-funded counter effort to fight back against liberals like Tim Gill.

It’s going to take every dollar we can raise to counter the vast underground networks and shadowy media manipulators.

Will you help us fight back with your critical gift?  (Money beg link removed)

As the legislative affiliate of the Family Research Council, FRC Action is a leading rallying force of the pro-family conservative grassroots in America.

We were successful in mobilizing pro-family voters to the polls and sending values-driven leaders to the executive and legislative branches last fall, and we helped lead the push to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court earlier this spring.

Now we must fight this newly exposed threat to marriage, life, and Christian values in America.

Tim Gill has said his goal is to “punish the wicked” — meaning you, me, and everyone who adheres to biblical values.

Any amount you can afford to give today would be a help as we stand against Tim Gill, George Soros, the ACLU, and the growing network of Leftist organizations threatening our Christian values.

Tim Gill and the many liberal organizations he funds are already working in conservative states to try and eradicate our religious freedom and pro-family values.

There is no time to waste in launching our counter effort against this multi-million dollar effort.

We don’t need to raise $422 million to fight Tim Gill’s extremist agenda. But to mobilize our nationwide network of pro-family activists and pastors and counter Tim Gill’s radical actions, we need the support of every conservative we can possibly reach.

Every dollar we can raise will help us continue to promote biblical marriage, life, and the pro-family values that you and I cherish.

Please help with your gift right away. We can’t afford to wait to launch this counter effort in support of our pro-family values! (Money beg link removed)

Thank you in advance for your generous support.

For America,

Lt. Gen. (US Army-Ret.) William “Jerry” Boykin
Executive Vice President

 

The truth is Tim Gill is s the founder of the pioneering page layout software company Quark, Inc and is also the founder and co-chair of the Gill Foundation, a private Denver-based philanthropic organization supporting the LGBT community across the country.  To his credit he is the single largest individual donor to the LGBT rights movement in U.S. history, having personally committed more than $422 million since the early 1990s.

Gill is widely credited as a visionary strategist and mega-donor who has made significant contributions to virtually every major LGBT rights victory in the United States, from from the 2003 Goodridge v. Dept. of Public Health decision making Massachusetts the first U.S. state to allow same-sex marriage, to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision legalizing same-sex marriage in all 50 states.

The Gill Foundation,  national, Denver-based non-profit organization underwrites academic research, polling, litigation, data analytics, and field organizing related to the LGBT rights movement

 

KENTUCKY: Scamvangelist Ark Encounter Sells Park To Its Own Non-Profit for $10 To Avoid Paying $700k Taxes

Featured, Religious Morons and Anti-Gay Idiots, , , , ,

The group that owns the theme park Ark Encounter have sold the park to their nonprofit affiliates for 10 dollars to avoid paying taxes, according to a report Monday by theLexington Herald-Leader. The Christian theme park in Williamstown, Kentucky is owned by creationist Ken Ham and features a life-sized recreation of Noah’s Ark.

Ark Encounter LLC sold the park’s land on June 28 to its nonprofit affiliate, Crosswater Canyon, for ten dollars, just a day before the city sent a letter rejecting the organization’s request to be exempted from a new safety tax because of its religious affiliation.

By selling the land to its nonprofit counterpart, the group has claimed that the park is a non-profit establishment and not subject to the new safety tax passed by city officials. The safety tax, if implemented by the city, would collect 50 cents of every entry ticket sold on $40 adult tickets and $28 children’s tickets. The theme park pulls in an estimated 1.4 million visitors a year, which, when the safety tax was imposed, means the company would owe the city of Williamstown approximately $700,000. – The International Business Times

Ark Encounter went through a multi-year negotiation process to get state and local tax incentives approved, including an $18 million sales tax rebate, and a tax increment financing deal that gives them back 75 percent of property taxes due on the increase in land assessments for 30 years.

When Jesus was asked whether his followers should pay taxes, he said:

“Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.”

He didn’t say, use deceitful tricks to avoid paying Caesar.

WATCH: ABC News 20/20 Brian Ross Investigates Gay Conversion Therapy Torture Industry – FULL SEGMENT

Last night on 20/20  Brian Ross  did a hard hitting segment on gay conversion therapy organizations.

Earlier this week the ABC News’s website also ran an article entitled, “Gay conversion therapy advocates heartened by Republican electoral victories,” which pointed to Vice President Mike Pence’s previous support for conversion therapy.

The article involved an extensive interview with the Family Research Council‘s Peter Sprigg, who also appears in last nights investigation where he defends conversion therapy and says that the Trump Administration will roll back the Obama Administration’s “aggressive activism” on this front.

“They certainly should not be outlawed. They certainly should not be prohibited by law… As a Christian, I believe that the Bible teaches that to choose to engage in homosexual conduct is a sin,” Sprigg told ABC News.

ABC News did not mention that the Family Research Council is a nationally recognized hate group and only referred to it as a “conservative Christian organization.”
