Christian Youth Rally in San Francisco

More than 25,000 evangelical Christian youth landed Friday in San Francisco for a two-day rally at AT&T Park against "the virtue terrorism" of popular culture, and they were greeted by an official city condemnation and a clutch of protesters who said their event amounted to a "fascist mega-pep rally."

"Battle Cry for a Generation" is led by a 44-year-old Concord native, Ron Luce, who wants "God's instruction book" to guide young people away from the corrupting influence of popular culture.

Luce, whose Teen Mania organization is based in Texas, kicked off a three-city "reverse rebellion" tour Friday night intended to counter a popular culture that he says glamorizes violence and sex. The $55 advance tickets for two days of musical performances and speeches were sold out, but walk-up admission was available for $199.

After stops in Detroit and Philadelphia in the next few weeks, Luce wants to unleash a "blitz" of youth pastors into the communities to do everything from work with the homeless to find new ways to bring others to Christ. He challenged youth leaders to double the size of their groups in the next year.

And then he plans to return to San Francisco next year to chart their progress.

That's bad news to Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, who told counterprotesters at City Hall on Friday that while such fundamentalists may be small in number, "they're loud, they're obnoxious, they're disgusting, and they should get out of San Francisco..."

The sodomites find the people of God repellent? I'd say the feeling is a mutual one.

BUT... you aren't allowed to say it without being called a fascist. They can do it - because they are .... embraced by the Looney Left.

Says quite a bit, doesn't it.

Bump.

Figured someone would complain about Christian groups charging for a concert.

Not everything can be free, ya know....

..Folks still have to eat, sleep and pay bills...

..and 55 dollars is not that much for most of today's youth...

.Plus, many of these Christian bands are very good, and again, they have to pay their bills too.

Plus, the organizer has to pay for the venue, set-up, workers, and a place for the band members to stay, etc.

Maybe Presbyterian or United.

No silly, Unitarian Universalist!

Wow...Christians Rally in Sodom! Why hasn't the drive-by media been all over this story?...nevermind...

Looks like their website:http://www.battlecry.com/ has only one page with no links. Could malicious hackers have brought it down?

Bookmark this photo of the transvestite in nun's garb. When the BIG ONE destroys San Francisco and the whiners tell us we just HAVE to rebuild this hellhole, donate this picture to the cause.

In the article, Democratic Assembly Man Mark Leno spoke to the counter-portesters /Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence/ and said that that the teen evangelicals are 'disgusting and should get out of San Francisco'/paraphrased>.

These Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are corrupt to the core, the conscious choosing and embodiment of evil things.

Also during my several days here I have observed young female single-sex couples shopping for home appliances in the malls etc., like newlyweds would. Things have consequences. I wish they could see the seeds of evil they are sewing into the field of their lives.

These organizations do need funds to keep going. The $55 was not outrageous; the $199 simply intended to get people to sign up in advance. They can do a lot more with money than without it.

[Christian Gallion, a 15-year-old in town with his Assembly of God youth group from Humboldt County, shrugged off being called "fascists" by counterdemonstrators.
"It doesn't bother me," Gallion said. "It's a beautiful city, and we don't have anything against the protesters."
His youth pastor had no interest in engaging in political debates.
"I'm not here to hate anybody," Scott Thompson said. "This isn't about Bush or gays or anything other than being here to worship together."]

San Francisco's hate groups can't stand a young person who is willing to forgive and love. This type a passive protest can't be stopped. Martin L. King used the same principals in his civil rights marches.

Takes one to know one.

What is *Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence*? I mean, her name and all *sounds* Catholic but I never saw a nun look like that.

A gay group formed to mock the Catholic faith.
