Scottish police forces have been told not to accept a gift of free Bibles from the Gideons because the book “condemns homosexuality”.
The Bibles have been offered to Scottish police forces featuring each force’s badge.
But the Gay Police Association (GPA) is against the move, and has issued a statement demanding that the forces refuse to be involved. Untrue
In the past, the GPA has been in trouble with the authorities for making untruthful and misleading claims involving the Bible.
In 2006 the group was reprimanded for producing an ad featuring the Bible next to a pool of blood with the headline “in the name of the father”.
The ad blamed religion, focusing in particular on Christianity, for violent attacks against homosexuals.
But the Advertising Standards Authority ruled that the ad was untrue, indecent and unsubstantiated. Guide
Trade union UNISON has joined with the GPA in opposing the offer of free Bibles for Scottish police forces.
Gideons say they want to offer Scottish police the Bibles as a “valuable guide to life”.
The group said they “can be offered to all members of the individual force, both serving police officers and civilian staff”. ‘Concern’
But the GPA said in a statement: “Members of the GPA have contacted us expressing concern that their Force is officially endorsing a religious book containing text which condemns homosexuality.”
It added: “The GPA does not feel that a public service, such as the police, should be seen to be endorsing, by their active involvement, any particular religion over and above any other religion or non-religion.”
The GPA said if the Bibles were to be offered, “surely this can be done without the actual involvement of the police force concerned”. Reject
UNISON commented: “It is not the role of a Police Force either to provide official endorsement of any religion or foist religious views on its staff.”
The trade union added that it hoped police forces in Scotland would “reject” the offer.
You’re right about the Bible’s general applicability for life. That’s exactly why the “all religions are the same” argument is so prevalent, despite its obvious logical absurdities. If the masses can be convinced that Christianity (or for that matter, Judaism) offers nothing unique, it will be that much easier to make it irrelevant. (And FWIW, I don’t think that the “Christianity is not a religion” movement within Evangelicalism is helping matters!)
See footage of ‘anti-bullying’ presenter, Dan Savage.
My suspicions have been confirmed. The anti-bullying movement is a thinly veiled assault by the aggressive pro-sodomy movement.

Isaiah 3:9, The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
“They hide it not”, is the key here in this verse. We are living in a time where anything goes, The Good Shepard also spoke of these times in which we live. One day it will finally end and the righteous will prevail.
So, G-d is homophobic. He didn’t make people with interchangeable genetalia like earth worms. No prayer allowed.
Will they also shutter mosques? Of course not. Muslims would riot. Learn from Islam. Silent acquiescence doesn’t pay. Turning the other cheek doesn’t mean spreading them both.

Islam,gay. They hate Christians more than they hate each other. But hate they do. It is the mark of a follower of Satan.

Scotland is very left wing. It reliably votes for the Labour Party and has its own left wing nationlist party (the Scottish National Party) and its own Maoist terrorist organization (the Scottish National Liberation Army).
Unfortunately this is very true.
Bullying has been going on since forever, but that is no excuse to tolerate it. Yet it has been tolerated and justified ("boys will be boys") for centuries.
The current "anti-bullying" movement, however, is 100% fraudulent. The only "bullying" they are concerned about is "bullying" directed toward homosexuals.
For the record, I do not condone or advocate the bullying of anyone (including homosexuals), but homosexual behavior is still wrong, no matter how deplorable the activity of bullies directed against them.
