"You who...which one of you put super glue in my KY Jelly you bastard..."

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..."

LOL! I just spewed Dr Pepper all over the monitor.
What a bunch of Nazis.
Your underlying moral relative argument is repetitive regardless the window dressing. Your "godless atheist" tagline is clear enough and tolerated -why dilute your message with leftist rhetoric which is not tolerated and quite unwelcome on FR unless you activeluy seek a zotting?
You know how when once in a while someone will smuggle some photos of what Cuba is really like, off the tourist strips? Someone needs to get some photos (limited to the printable) of the real San Fran and get a web site going to show America what it has on its West Coast. It is astonishing that a city in our nation came out and condemned a mainstream Christian group. At the very least the SF tourism board should be glad for the dollars they're going to spend.
Just checked your posting history -- it is obvious you are a sleeper troll. Kitties incoming?
"Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence." Heh, that's cute.
Now you just keep hating what you believe doesn't exist! I believe that that's a diagnosable mental disorder!
Looks like he just got banned. Good riddance.
I can deal with -- and actually welcome -- intelligent critique from nonbelievers here (ex. RightWingAtheist's posts), but this guy was just a snarky, snotty troll.
Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Isaiah 3:9
9. The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Unlike One who changes not; the TF has experienced massive inflation in the years since I've had to deal with him (her? it??)
Ooops that's, uh... humble.....
Yup... but...
Sons of Thunder: UNITE!
These guys generally go to churches that accept them. Some don't go to church at all.
My point, such as it was: if you grow up in a place where the people don't like you. Where your parents don't even like you very much. And where you are generally not wanted/welcome, and there is no future for you -- then leave and don't look back. And under no circumstances whine to me about missing some integral part of yourself in the big city while consuming a $300.00 meal. My response is and always has been -- move back or buy a postcard if you miss "home" that much.
>>All those years of work could be going right down the tubes if someone gets convicted and converted. Right out of *The Screwtape Letters*.<<
You're assuming that Satan holds some sort of power other than simply the ability to tempt us. God is sovereign over his entire creation, and that includes Satan. Satan does nothing outside of God's perfect will.
Rejoice in the fact that we fight a vanquished enemy!
