Houston Mayor Annise Parker has received a flood of Bibles — somewhere between 500 and 1,000 according to a spokesman for the mayor’s office — after the city subpoenaed the church sermons of five local faith leaders opposed to the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, which the mayor signed in May.

“This is more dangerous than anything I’ve ever seen,” Glenn Beck said last week after interviewing one of the five subpoenaed religious leaders. “This is not about equal rights. … This is about shutting people down.”

Steve Riggle, the pastor of Grace Community Church in Houston, told Beck that the city not only demanded his sermons, but anything he had said about Mayor Parker in 17 different forms of communication....

Believers are slacking.

Her office should have been buried in them.

And sermon notes.

If I were to send anything, I’d send “Mere Christianity” a short tome by C.S. Lewis.

The mayor’s first name, though creatively spelled, describes well her narcissistic fixation. The woman should be in a mental institution or a jail convicted of harassment and obstruction of civil rights.

Will say, do not need to hear from Glenn Beck on this. He’s now pimping a video from the British Broadcast Communists, a far left outlet, with a video featuring pederast Elton John. Sick. My how the mighty have fallen.

When was he ever “mighty” might I ask? He’s the “right-wing” version of Ed Schultz.

There's no question in my mind that if Americans weren't so heavily armed, the cattle cars and camps would already be in full swing.

They’re working on it. Why else bring enterovirus and ebola here?

Should send her some cloth patches in the shape of a cross. Tell her to sew them on the outer garments of all the Christians working for her, just so she isn’t mistakenly civil to them.

I wish I had your gift of the pen. I know a few who ‘creatively’ spell their first name and it certainly telegraphed a message about them that I couldn’t put my finger on (until now). Thanks.

Would it not have been better and more cost effective to have sent these Bibles to those who would have bothered to read them?

people keep talking about the sermons but its the private commutation and teachings from the paster to his church members that is the real problem.

Im sure this sodomite mayor is welcome in most Houston church to hear and learn of the word of God first hand. Anyone with eyes knows she sure seems to need it being not only a sodomite but a wannabe despot.

Still nether she nor any other government is entitled to listen in on our private communication between a christian and their paster.

people share stuff with their paster that they don’t tell anyone, pasters for good Christians are moral pillers in life. It is simply unacceptable for the state to demand access to that privileged commutation.
