On Sunday, November 9, a band of about 30 gays stormed a church in Lansing, Michigan. Some were well dressed and were stationed inside Mount Hope Church; others were outside dressed in pink and black. The group of self-described homosexual anarchists, Bash Back!, claims the evangelical church is guilty of transphobia and homophobia.
The protesters outside the church were beating on buckets, shouting Jesus was a homo on a megaphone and carrying an upside-down pink cross. Fire alarms went off inside the church, protesters stormed the pulpit and a huge rainbow-colored flag was unfurled with the inscription, ITS OKAY TO BE GAY! BASH BACK! The church was vandalized, obscenities were shouted and worshippers were confronted. There were no arrests.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue addressed this issue today:
The real story here is the refusal of the mainstream media to cover what is surely one of the most disturbing events of 2008. If an organized group of gay bashers stormed a gay church, there is not a single sentient person in the United States who wouldnt know about it.
This is urban fascism come to Americas heartland. It must be quickly stopped before it gets out of control. We are contacting Mike Cox, the Attorney General of Michigan, calling for an investigation.
Me, a concealed carry guy would have killed 12-14, depending on my grouping.
Oh, no!!! wait!!!
Christian is Christian on some basic level.
The theological differences between Protestant Brand X and Roman Catholic are really very slight, especially when compared to these pagan libertines.
Thats what you get when the Church has been pushing “social justice” for past several decades.
Ah the lesbians — they march with signs saying “Euthanize Christians”
No, the best tool is a Glock .40.
Spread one brain pan across the back wall; the rest will flee. It would be self-defense.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. There is a time for peace and a time for war.
As they get sperm from the bank...
Quite true, and that is why we should put the fighting amongst ourselves on hold while the left-wing hordes are on the march.
You may have a point, but I’d bet that if a mob of black panthers did this to a white church, it would get on the news. Despite the media’s bias, they’re always willing to show a bunch of angry black thugs running around and ignore black folks with real jobs and real lives. Angry black thugs fit the “white man keeping blacks down” template and successful, hard working blacks don’t.
Similarly, violent gays don’t fit the “repressed heteros hate those poor oppressed gay people” template.
Well said.
The church members didn't fight back.
If they had defended themselves, the church membersh would probably have been arrested for hate crimes.
Not that I had any real doubt that the Catholic League was telling the truth, but the Lansing State Journal has confirmed the attack:

I agree!
Catholics have a great prayer for this:
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
What’s a spring stick, exactly?
In some areas of the country, Churches have sponsored picnics and praise days, to give families and Christian people in general, a way to counteract the depraved perversion parades. They also serve to give businesses and people in the communities holding them, out of the areas where the parades are being held, while not allowing an audience for the parades. If no one is watching, and the businesses are closed, it defeats their whole purpose. Restaurants are invited to set up food booths. I went to one in KY, it was a great family day.
It would desecrate the church. Imagine the cleaning bills.
Exactly so.
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Cleaning bills?
That’s what the alter guild is for, no?
