Spokane Valley church chooses love following vandalism incident (WOKE BARF ALERT)

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. -- Last week, the Veradale Church of Christ was covered with over 25 pride flags. Now the entrance is empty, and a threatening message stands in place.

"There's been a lot of tears, not only here in our congregation but in others," said Reverend Gen Heywood.

According to Heywood, last weekend, three people stole three large banners and 25 small pride flags from the property at 1 in the morning. They also spelled out LEV 20:13 on the front lawn using diesel fuel, referencing a verse often used to condemn Gay people. Heywood first learned of the incident from her neighbors, who caught the crime on their home cameras.

"You go into a mama bear kind of mode, take care of the congregation, take care of the property, take care of neighbors. So that's where my mind went first," said Heywood.

Heywood said she contacted Spokane Valley Police, who are currently investigating and have defined the crime as vandalism and theft. Heywood believes the incident carries more weight.

"What I'm reading says this does count as hate. Especially because they've chosen the bible verse they've chosen. It's actually a threat."

Veradale United Church of Christ has decided that while they don't have control over the incident, they can control their response. The church is hosting a potluck and dance event this coming Sunday.

"So we'll share our tears, we'll share some laughter, I'm being told maybe we don't have enough room for dancing, but it could happen if you're happy. I don't know, we just want to share the joy that comes from love that overcomes hate."

The "Love is Greater than Hate" flash mob, potluck, and dance will take place on Sunday, July 2, from noon to 3 p.m. at Veradale United Church of Christ.

"What I'm reading says this does count as hate. Especially because they've chosen the bible verse they've chosen. It's actually a threat."

BTW she is talking about Leviticus 20: 13 which was burned into their front yard:

If any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an abomination, let them be put to death: their blood be upon them.

So when did the Church of Christ go this woke? This one is new to me.

I can’t figure out why there are SO MANY homosexual churches around.

One could imagine a few, given a certain amount of pro-gay leftist radicals in urban areas, or the relative percentage of homosexuals in the US population.

But drive through any US city, and it seems ALL the protestant churches, and even some catholic ones, go out of their way to flaunt their acceptance of homosexuality.

Its completely disproportionate and very strange.

I wrote a letter giving an idea of how we got here, which i doubt will be published anywhere.

From Mental Disorders to Identities Exhibiting Pride

The 1973 vote by American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed homosexuality as a mental disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) and provided major impetus for LGBTQ Pride Month. The disruptive, chaotic attacks by activists prompted APA members to exchange decades of successful research and treatment of homosexual disorders for popular societal and political acclaim.

Activists targeted researchers such as Dr. David Reuben, and Masters and Johnson to ensure sanctity for the APA action. Persistent activism enabled academia infiltration, thereby ensuring all of LGBTQ would benefit from pre-qualified peer reviewers and pre-ordained theses.

The next signpost was elimination of the military meritocracy; a meritocracy often demanding the most rigorous and brutal mindset. The political impetus for repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) relied for cover on the DOD deceptive proclamation that 70% of service members foresaw positive or no effect.

However, the Marine, Army, and Special Forces units at the pointy end of the spear or those holding it rejected the idea. They understood the unimaginable totalitarian leadership and obedience demanded by their barbaric, traumatic, and brittle environments. Sexual aberrations cannot intrude into operations requiring sacrificial, primitive, and intimate actions.

The Armed Forces became playthings for bureaucrats whose covens are committed to Social Marxist definitions for equal opportunity and affirmative action.

The APA says nearly all sexual actions are normal and the DOD says such individuals may serve in the most rigorous, traumatic, and lethal environments. In 50 years, sexual disorders that people contended against became identities to celebrate.
