not only that, the image they are using is an obvous RELIGIOUS SANCTION. IOW they are giving a government establishment endorsement to a pastor who is endorsing the homosexual choice.

Interesting how that is part of the tax funding. If this were reversed it would be a separation argument. Since it endorses the left position it is ok to establish this particular religion.

I went to NYC this past weekend and saw this sign:

I had to admit there are probably a lot of people who think exactly the same thing in many other areas around the country, but not for the same reasons the makers of the sign might think...

Come on people -where is your sense of homosexual sex justice?

These billboards create or save jobs! As well they promote homosexual sex justice! They help victims that engage in homosexual sex! How could anyone think that this is not necessary? Everyone know that those who engage in homosexual sex are special victims of crime requiring special homosexual sex inclusive care (including billboards just for them). Yes, this is a redundancy of efforts that promoted homosexual sex; however, it is needed for homosexual sex justice and orifice diversity!

The dietary laws and the worship laws changed - the sexual ones were never rescinded... If anything, Jesus himself reaffirmed these by saying what WAS acceptable.
