Doomsday preacher Carl Gallups spoke to WorldNetDaily Sunday, and yadda yadda’d that America is “gearing up for onrushing economic collapse” reports Right Wing Watch.
Gallups — a former law-enforcement officer with an upcoming book titled Be Thou Prepared: Equipping the Church for Persecution and Times of Trouble — opined:
“With the onslaught of predicted ominous events scheduled to occur in or around September of this year, as well as the actual scheduled events possessing possible prophetic overtones, a lot of people certainly are tuned in to the end of this year with a laser focus. Sadly, it sometimes seems the Russian media is more reliable and eclectic in its reporting than is the American media. Given the fact that the United States media often seems loathe to report on anything biblical or Christian in nature, unless it is excoriating or marginalizing them, this should not surprise us.”
In a separate interview with WWD, Gallup attacked a San Francisco public school that’s organizing a gay history class, suggesting teachers won’t tell students about “the history of the major civilizations that ultimately met their demise concurrent with the rise of rampant sexual promiscuity and deviancy within those cultures, especially embracing and accepting homosexuality.”
He then described homosexuality as “one of the most dangerous sexual lifestyles on the planet… This is just the beginning of the social rot that is to come.” It’s only dangerous if you’re not doing it right, Carl baby!
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Gallups then said he doubts the writings of the Apostle Paul will find their way into the class.
If the complete and unwashed history of homosexuality is to be taught in government schools, with taxpayer money – should not the gay history that is ultimately taught be accurate and comprehensive? Or will it simply be a watered down mishmash of cherry picked topics designed to support, promote, and prop up the new politically correct homosexual lifestyle, despite the historical warnings against it and the health dangers that accompany one of the most dangerous sexual lifestyles on the planet? Sadly, I think we all know the answers to these questions.

And I’m sure if we look around long enough we can find some other loon who believes the oak trees on Main St are going to rise up and eat the children playing on the front lawn… but that doesn’t mean we should listen to him either.

This is why I can’t understand how gay right wingers exist. The right wing truly hates us, but they are deathly scared of us. Their religious beliefs are very weak and crumbling. The facts will do that.

As long as guys like this claim to be Christians there will be more social rot!

Kind of like history classes in the US have cherry-picked events and people and sanitized or ignored misdeeds for DECADES? Or positioned Christian interference around the world as something other than the obliteration of multiple viable civilizations for CENTURIES?

Talk about the kettle calling the pot black- isn’t that what these extreme Christians are doing, cherry picking passages out of the bible?
My theory about Gays and Christianity- God created gays to test Christians on Jesus’ teaching of love, acceptance, and not judging others. Can you imagine the shock of these people at the Pearly Gate when they are called on their intolerance and bigotry!

Followed by him asking them to please send donations.
Something none of them have been able to answer is, if being liberal towards gays and not being an evangelist causes problems, then why are the most evangelical places like Mississippi, Alabama, ect.. poor, crappy, and constantly hit with disaster after disaster while states that were forward moving on gay rights are wealthier and not having their housing decimated by floods and tornados every month?

I hate that there are people who regard the bible as the ultimate moral authority. It’s a good starting point, but you need to be thoughtful and mindful about it the same as with all religious texts. The bible was used to condone slavery and very specifically calls for rape victims to be forced into marrying their rapist if she is a virgin. Blind faith is the surrender of the mind. Thankfully, there are many thoughtful Christians out there who believe in using the bible as a starting point, but incorporatin the own experience and morality into it rather than being dogmatic.

@Cam: I doubt any of these people would admit that the evangelical-heavy states were also former slaveholding states and nearly all were members of the Confederacy (or wannabes). While a few, like Texas and Florida, are rich, most were behind on many indicators before the US Civil War, and other than in terms of population (because many are booming), they have never caught up on a per capita basis.
The Northern pro-gay states, along with California, mostly have large Roman Catholic populations, were wealthy before the US Civil War, and were heavily industrialized and capitalized for long periods of American history. New York State all by itself in 1860 had more industrial power than the entire Confederacy combined!

Rome was founded in the early 700s BCE and existed until around 400CE, so around 1100 years. From the time of its founding up until the mid 300’s CE it allowed what we would consider homosexuality as well as a variety of other sexual activities that would upset the good pastor. It was the most powerful empire around for a long time. After the Christians took control in the early 300s it lasted about 100 years before it collapsed completely in economic and social ruin.
Greece as well was a pagan society in which man/man sexual love was considered perfectly okay. The stories of Achilles and Patroclus, the Theban Band, Harmodius and Aristogeitonthe, two male lovers who murdered Hippias, the tyrant of Athens are all well known examples of gay men who were lauded in Greek life. Since Greece became Christian it has been a slow slide into oblivion.

If they keep torturing and discriminating gays,LGBT might become the majority of the world’s population in the future generation.?
“Everything we reject or dislike will always be around but the things we embrace and support don’t last long” It’s a natural law
Please keep hating us!?

@Creamsicle: I support your opinion; Humans live short insignificant lives,so they made up stuff like religion to feel like they’re part of something bigger and ofcourse to take control over the world they don’t even own

the truth is people yawn over inter-racial marriage anymore. women are moving up all the time. jews are no longer the devil’s since 9/11. now it’s the muslim’s. basically. we are the reality shows. for now. and like them people will yawn about these lunatics eventually. and then it will be teenagers with access to technology. or whatever. right now we are just at the top of the list.

Excellent comment.
Here’s why —
Paul, who authored most of the NT and most of the negativity about gay people, says this about his own knowledge and understanding —
1. …our knowledge is partial and incomplete…
2. …we see things imperfectly…
3. All that I know now is partial and incomplete…
(1 Corinthians 13:9,12)
He may even be speaking for scripture he didn’t write.
Those are excellent examples that teach us that scripture can be too partial, too incomplete and too imperfect to be useful for every situation.
We therefore must reason out anything and everything in scripture ‘as necessary’. That will help us to ‘effectively’ judge and evaluate a matter or people based on all reasonable, ‘current or modern’ attitudes, experiences and knowledge.
The continuing and modern work of the ‘Spirit of God’ is alive and well.

Lately after loosing to marriage equality religious radio has changed their tone warning of having past the caution sign post and headed for disaster. It’s as if they feel the need to create a sense of doom so their hate speech is never seen for what it was, keeping the emotional distraction high. Gay people are Christians and good people most often and that simple truth is what they are really motivated against. Ironically it seems like evil, and it could be, to attack true love just might be evil. 2 of the 3 gay love stories in the bible are gay love stories and those stories aren’t going anywhere, there is loud rhetoric built up around them painting them as brotherly and sisterly love but they are truly gay love stories and time will show them as such, even within the church. Those living and who participated in the church radio hatred are trying to keep they tide from truly turning and that will include acceptance in all church life in all it’s colors. We are in a right vs. left rut still but once we get out of it we will liberate our children to full acceptance and right institutions to be fit amongst all people. And without the double talk of acceptance and damnation.
