You can leave a comment after the article. Most seem to see that article as “can’t we all just get along” crap. Which it is.

We may presume that they would not want a crowd of gays meeting on their curb each week to proselytize.

The curb does not belong to the gays. It's public property.

That is what Jesus said.

No, he said not to stand on a street corner and scream so loud you make a total fool of yourself. He did say to go out among the people and peacefully pray with them.

How would Jesus have done it, just make them all heteros?

Some have vision and reading comprehension problems... Or is it me?

I read:
They come to pray.
‘Whether’ they try to straighten them out.

After I saw the SF clip when their vote was lost, it was an old lady talking to a reporter with an army of gay men in her face, then they take her cross and stomp on it while harassing her. Then, they cut back to studio and they say “They’re heated on both sides”. Both sides?

The devil is a liar.

How can anyone compare that to what they’ve done?

Giving out people’s private info, business, addresses... is this acceptable? To go rush their businesses then to write large sponsors warning they’d better send their side an equal amount or they will go to their advertisers?

Then the MSM states blacks voted 95% against them (I say so what, and?), did anyone ask what the black population is in CA? What the mormon Population is there?
Do you think they thought about that?

They are purposely riled up clashes. The first to report this and the one responsible for the black list both should be before judges.

They’re all about privacy, free speech, tolerance.

Heh.

As I told my brother, socialists and environazis love this, using gays, breakdown of society, less people/can’t reproduce (while the usual birth control, abortion, euthanasia, sexualization of children, reject authority missions continue)... when they and the media will be the first taken out in this ‘perfect’ utopia they have in mind.

Side note: Depopulation, Europe, migration. History.

...”not how Jesus would do it?

I’m dumbfounded.

The gospels are filled with public “streetcorner” preaching by Christ.

The author should go read them instead of inventing her own concept of what Jesus “would do.”

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

***

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

***

Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Act 16:10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

Rom 1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Rom 15:20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:

1Cr 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

1Cr 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

1Cr 9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

Better yet, look who’s telling you how Christ would do it.

What would Christ do about this one? (video)

But don’t worry, it doesn’t affect society and it’s just their business. I can’t wait to hear the theological argument for that one.

It’s totally ridiculous. As if be “condescending” is equal to screaming, yelling, intimidating, physical violence and boycotting.

It is exactly what Christ DID. Went to the sinners to tell them the good news.

We know how that turned out, right?

Remember, if we do something wrong we’re wrong, and if they do something wrong, we and they are wrong. Unless they can hide it, then it goes back to just we who are wrong. This article was mostly garbage except for one point at the very end: the government should not be in the marriage business. Let the government enforce contracts between individuals and groups, but leave marriage to the churches. The threat isn’t that Adam and Steve will have a legal relationship, but rather that they will have the state force the churches to recognize it.

Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Mar 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Mar 6:12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

Luk 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Luk 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Act 8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Rev 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

This article makes perfect since in the new Obamanation!

Remember, when Russia invaded Georgia, he said, “everyone needs to calm down!” See, he is already getting people to accept his way of handling things.

Now, everyone needs to simply calm down!

Darn right! I and many many more of sick of it. All we want, all we are trying to do is live our lives doing things as correctly as possible, a lot of do not swear, we use manners, we do unto others, etc, we try very hard not to sin, we treasure and value everything that is Good and wholesome in America, and we are simply sick and tired of being bashed for it.

Bout time bashing started occurring to those who actually do deserve it. We won't though, because of all those very values we hold dear. Something will give, and when it does, I shutter to think how it is going to manifest itself. This cannot continue, because people will only be pushed just so far, and the limit/boundary is closing in!

Not according to the rabid radicals. To go in there and pray and sing, is like taking Holy Water and a cross to a vampire or demon stronghold.

This reminds me also of the PC police criticizing Christians for pushing back a little on Merry Christmas! versus happy holidays (bah humbug). Blame the Christians merely because they had the audacity to humbly say that it's their right (free exercise thereof) to express their faith publicly in minimal ways that are no real offense at all to the nonreligious (and weren't for centuries before today's PCness).

He who controls communication controls the world - Adolph Hitler.

ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, and the printed news all shape public opinion ( it's imagined or "subjective" reality) - and they know it. Yes, you're right about the powers of the air losing their grip. People are starting to question the powers that be. Their "faith" in the mass media is waning.

No, not all the world sees homos as normal like the media wants them to believe.
No, not all the world accepts the slaughter of the unborn like the media would like to have them believe.
No, not everyone wants to labor for the government, either.
No, not everyone wants their kids indoctrinated in the government schools.

The media lies, and people are starting to recognize the enemy that's been deceiving them and manipulating them all these years.
