Reverend Barry, Quite Contrary

He's a minister who defends abortion, gay marriage and pornography. And he thinks conservative Christians are a menace to society?

You've heard people blast the "Religious Right" before, but Barry Lynn really lets it fly. America, he says, is threatened by "radical religious fundamentalists." These people are "bullies," "dangerous zealots," "extremists who despise pro-choice advocates, working mothers, gay-rights supporters and everybody else who departs from their narrow views." They're "smug," "sneering," "arrogant," "tyrannical," "self-righteous," "bigoted," "hate-filled" and-well, you get the picture.

So just who is Barry Lynn, and why should you care what he says?

Here are some things that we all should know about this guy who claims to be a "Reverend". It seems his church is one that readily accepts homosexuality. This might help explain Barry Lynn's true hatred for real Christians and his hatred to the Evangelical Movement.

This guy isn't even a "reverend" in quotes. He's a joke.

Barry Lynn typifies the "tolerant-preaching, intolerant-acting" liberal...

There is a Baptist minister by the name of James White who once debated Barry Lynn on the Biblical condemnation of sodomy.

Lynn went into the debate thinking that he was debating an uneducated redneck and that Lynn would crush him with critical scholarship.

White humiliated Lynn with his superior technical knowledge of Greek and his extensive study of the culture of Biblical times.

Lynn was so incensed by his flimsy case being so decisively demolished that he sued White to stop him from posting an unexpurgated transcript of the debate.

White only recently won the case.

No, they're Christians who accept the moral teachings that were universally taught by Christianity until about 20 years ago. As for despising those who disagree with one's views, Lynn seems as guilty of that as anyone. More liberal "projection."

Excellent summary of what has happened to so many of our Christian churches and organizations in the past two decades.

"No, they're Christians who accept the moral teachings that were universally taught by Christianity until about 20 years ago. As for despising those who disagree with one's views, Lynn seems as guilty of that as anyone. More liberal "projection."

Who is Barry Lynn? Just another grade A a--hole masquerading as a Christian, sort of like Bill Clinton. Just because you have a "Rev" in front of your name doesn't mean much--think of Jesse Jackson.

You're probably thinking of one of the following porn "actresses": Ginger Lynn, Amber Lynn, Shonna Lynn, Giselle Lynn or Porsche Lynn. They all look better in bathing suits than this faygelah, IMO.

If Barry Lynn is a true "Reverend", then I'm the Pope! Hmmm, wonder if he's a reverend in the "Church of the Poison Mind"........(sorry Boy George). *~*

The Bible states that you will know when the end times are near when right is looked at as wrong and moral is thought of as immoral. (paraphrased) I think we are near those times.

If his dreams come true, someday Lynn will destroy the First Ammendment.

That is the same James White from whos book I quoted to you in our debate re: Sola Scriptura, Aquinasfan.

James White's website is www.aomin.org ("aomin" stands for "Alpha and Omega Ministries"). It's possible you might be able to find info about the debate there. Make sure to check out the free real audio stuff, including James' internet programs. James speaks about his debates on those internet programs.
