I am confused. The article says that the janitor and the pastor think this was an attack in retaliation for the sermon, but the thrust of the article seems to be that the sermon incited the violence because it was anti-gay. However, if the attackers are antigay, and the sermon was antigay, then how come they said "this is a msg" for the pastor? If appears as if the pastor was too easy on homos for the attackers? This story does not compute. I do, however, get the drift of the left wing liars who will make this the latest craze since church burnings, so that they can brow beat and hector well meaning people to accept their agenda.

I agree that it seems as if something was "off" but then again, our paper here in Cleveland is filled with typos and I wouldn't necessarily assume that anything in quotation marks is the actual quote. People screw up all the time. But I do know that this church would not equivocate and Pastor Endrei would not be soft on this matter. It is not my church but it is well known in the community and many local celebrities attend there.

Try this, the people who did the attacking were not anti gay but pro gay. they attacked the janitor, not be cause he was gay but because he was in the church and the pastor wasn't available. (that's how I read it)

I don't know if this was cleaned up before I read it, but I see it as a couple of gays hitting the church because the pastor called homosexuality a sin. It was gay violence against Christians, not Christian violence against gays.

Shalom.
