A Lansing-area church has filed a lawsuit against protesters who disrupted 1 of their services last year.

The Lansing State Journal reports Friday that Mount Hope Church of Delta Township filed suit against a radical gay activist group called Bash Back! in federal court in Grand Rapids this week.

Bash Back! claims to have disrupted a service at the church on November 9. Members shouted "It's OK to be gay" and "Jesus was a homo" at the bewildered congregation inside the church.

The Congregation should have a few armed individuals among their flock. When these idiots violently enter their Church again they should shoot them dead.

They should have been arrested and made to do a Perv Walk for the cameras...

looks like the sodomites are the ONLY ones doing any “bashing”.

shame someone wasn’t packing in that church & reasonably assumed it was a violent invasion

What they need is a few 6’-6” USHERS who will quickly “usher out” any disrupters.

If such a think happened to an abortion factory, it would be a federal crime punishable by impoverishing fines and serious prison time.

But since it’s fags attacking a church, it’s just “free speech”.

How about sueing as a Civil Rights violation?

Nah, just send the childrens choir outside to sing Jesus loves me, and other praise songs, and Satan just runs away screaming.

The circuit-riding preacher used to ride across the land,
With a rifle in his saddle and a Bible in his hand...

Lyrics from an old hymnal my piano teacher once played for me. It sounds like the tune needs a revival.

Most likely it was the repeat performance.

My DH and I have talked about this. He is a former Marine. With the other large Ushers, no one would want to pull this at our parish.

They would be licking the tile until the Police came.

The Chicago Excuse:

Honest Officer, they all tripped and fell down the stairs at the same time. Weird, huh?

That was sung last year at the LWML (Lutheran Women’s Missionary League) state convention—held in SOUTHERN Oregon! It was a great hit!!!!

Well according to the second link, they not only disrupted the service with their shouting, they pulled the fire alarm as they exited. I don’t know why they didn’t file charges on that.
