Well this gives me a lot of sympathy for the cause. It's all about love,
right? And of course, they don't want to be judged, although they fail to
lead by example. I guess the same goes for tolerance...

Making out at pulpit, shouting blasphemies in front of children

Worshippers at a Bible-teaching church in Lansing, Mich., were stunned
Sunday when members of a pro-homosexual, pro-anarchy organization named Bash
Back interrupted their service to fling propaganda and condoms around the
sanctuary, drape a profane banner from the balcony and feature two *******s
making out at the pulpit.
According to a blog posting by Nick De Leeuw on Right Michigan, the Bash
Back organization orchestrated a protest in front of Mount Hope Church to
draw the church's security staff away from the sanctuary.
Then Bash Backers who had dressed up and mixed in with church worshippers
took action.
According to De Leeuw, "Prayer had just finished when men and women stood up
in pockets across the congregation, on the main floor and in the balcony.

"'Jesus was ***,' they shouted among other profanities and blasphemies as
they rushed the stage. Some forced their way through rows of women and kids
to try to hang a profane banner from the balcony while others began tossing
fliers into the air. Two women made their way to the pulpit and began to
kiss," he wrote.
He cited the Bash Back organization's own announcement of other items
members brought into the church, including "a megaphone, noise makers,
condoms, glitter by the bucket load, confetti, pink fabric. ..."
According to the alternative Lansing City Pulse - which reported it was
notified of the protest ahead of time and sent a reporter along instead of
warning the church - the protesters also screamed at parishioners and pulled
the church facility's fire alarm. Printed material protesters distributed
said, "We specialize in confronting homophobia, transphobia and every and
all other forms of oppression."

The report said Bash Back issued a statement today confirming it targeted
Mount Hope, which has about 5,000 church participants, because it
participates in "the repression of queers."
On the newspaper's forum page, a contributor commented, "Homosexuals and
anarchists. A perfect combination of human beings with no hope, no morals,
no future."
Many demonstrators fled and the rest were quiet after sheriff's officers
were summoned.
"Mount Hope churchgoers were unclear as to what the purpose of the
demonstration was," said a statement from David Williams, a spokesman for
the church.
"The leadership of Mount Hope Church does not attempt to identify the church
as anti-homosexual, anti-choice, or right wing. The church does take the
Bible at face value and believes what the Bible says to be the truth,"
Williams' statement continued.
"According to the Bible, Mount Hope Church believes homosexuality to be a
sin, just as fornication, stealing, drunkenness, and lying are sins. No sin
greater than the next. Mount Hope Church strives to follow Jesus' example of
loving the sinner but not the sin while helping people change their lives
for God's glory and their improved quality of life. Mount Hope Church also
recognizes that to each person God grants freewill."
The church then offered help for people "caught up in unwanted sexual sin,
drug abuse, and many other areas."
De Leeuw reported "the 'open minded' and 'tolerant' liberals ran down the
aisles and across the pews, hoping against hope to catch a 'right winger' on
tape daring to push back (none did).
"This is what we're up against," De Leeuw wrote. "Amidst worshiping
congregants and following unifying prayers that our president-elect be
granted wisdom as he prepares to lead our nation through difficult global,
social and economic challenges, the Michigan left declared open war on
peaceful churchgoers.
"Mount Hope, for the record, is an evangelical, Bible believing church whose
members provide free 24-hour counseling, prayer lines, catastrophic care for
families dealing with medical emergencies, support groups for men, women and
children dealing with a wide variety of life's troubles, crisis
intervention, marriage ministries, regular, organized volunteer work in and
around the city, missions in dozens of countries across the globe, a
construction ministry that has built over 100 churches, schools, orphanages
and other projects all over the world and an in-depth prison ministry that
reaches out, touches and helps the men and women the rest of society fears
the most. They also teach respect for all human life and the Biblical
sanctity of marriage as an institution between one man and one woman," De
Leeuw wrote.
"The church's response? After things settled down, the blasphemy ended, the
lewd props removed and the families safe from fear of additional men and
women running into and past them the pastor took the stage and led the
congregation in one more prayer ... not for retribution, or divine justice
or a celestial comeuppance (that's what I'd have prayed for) but instead
that the troubled individuals who'd just defiled the Lord's house, so full
of anger and hate, would know Jesus' love in their lives and God's peace
that exceeds human understanding," De Leeuw wrote.
His blog attracted dozens of comments, including one that said it was just
as well the protesters hadn't picked his church.
"It was well within the church members' rights to respond with non-lethal
force to put an immediate end to this assault. It this happened in my house,
I'd have every right to throw someone out a window or two."
In a statement posted on the Internet, Bash Back confirmed its "operatives"
were in the service, "stood up, declared themselves fags, and began
screaming loudly. . Another group threw over a thousand fliers to the
entire . congregation. The fire alarm was pulled. Queers began making out in
front of the pastor. And within a matter of minutes, everyone had evaded the
guards and made their escapes."
The statement continued, "Let is be known: So long as bigots kill us in the
streets, this pack of wolves will continue to BASH BACK!"
The report comes just a day after video documentation of pro-homosexual
protesters in California challenging a 69-year-old woman to a fight because
she was affirming the biblical perspective of homosexuality.
"This screaming and shouting, name-calling and pushing by homosexual
activists is not unlike a small child throwing a fit because he doesn't get
his way," said Randy Thomasson, chief of the Campaign for Children and
Families, a leading California-based pro-family group. "The public is
getting a clue that homosexual activists don't like democracy and are
willing to trample anyone and anything that gets in their way."
California voters by nearly 53 percent to 47 percent last week adopted a
state constitutional amendment limiting marriage to one man and one woman.
Thomasson also has issued an analysis and a challenge called "How Shall We
Live Under President-Elect Obama?" in which he describes the "moral free
fall" encompassing the United States.
"America's greatness has been in people's self responsiblity, strong work
ethic, moral character and knowledge of the proper role of government. But
now a majority of Americans don't have these virtues and don't vote
according to moral standards," he said.
Learn about the intimidating tactics and brilliant marketing techniques
being used by "*** rights" activists - read David Kupelian's controversial
blockbuster, "The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and
Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom."

Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association of Michigan and
co-author of the Marriage Protection Amendment approved by Michigan voters
in 2004, condemned the homosexual activist group's intimidation tactics.
"We will alert churches statewide of this now close-to-home threat of
disruption of their members' freedom to worship in peace and safety," Glenn
said, "but this is not the first time in history Christians have faced
persecution or threats of reprisal for standing for their faith and values."
He predicted Americans, "particularly people of strong religious faith, are
not cowards" and would not "be bullied by emotional adolescents who
disrespect private property, the rule of law, and anyone who dares hold
opinions diverse from their own."
"We will pray for and offer help to those who have gender identity and
same-sex attraction disorders, but Americans will continue to reject their
attempts to overturn the will of the people and impose their disorders on
our children and society at large," he said.
Glenn said AFA-Michigan will join the Catholic League in urging Michigan
Attorney General Mike Cox to investigate the organized violation of the
church's private property rights and the group's threat of future
disruptions of worship services.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue today issued a statement condemning
the group's actions and accusing the news media of failing to report it with
the same intensity they routinely do complaints by homosexual activist
groups.
