Why These Christians Want You to Know They're 'Not All Like That'

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...
Quote:Earlier this summer, Pat Robertson publicly lamented that Facebook lacked a "Vomit" button, which if it existed, he would gladly click to show his displeasure with pictures of gay couples displayed on the social media site. Instances like that have become synonymous with America's religious right. In fact, when a Christian-identified organization isn't anti-gay, the story instantly becomes newsworthy. Still, there are plenty of self-identifying Christians in the U.S., men and women who attend church services and devoutly read the Bible, who don't tow that party line at all—they're just not often given a voice. But Dan Savage, creator of the "It Gets Better" campaign, launched a new venture just week, this time named, the Not All Like That Christians Project, or NALT. Seemingly inspired by an episode of Savage's own TakePart TV show, American Savage, the project invites Christians who support LGBT rights to film themselves offering messages of hope to the gay and trans community. The content of the videos drives home the tenets of pro-LGBT Christians, who firmly believe that there's nothing inherently sinful or anti-biblical about being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. More than 40 videos have been uploaded already, with more expected soon. http://news.yahoo.com/why-christians-want-know-theyre-not-195732216.html]

Quote:Originally posted by Niki2: Pure bullshit. You, Rap, PN do exactly the same thing, and you'd pretty much curl up and die before posting anything about all those on the "left" out there doing good works, hypocrite. Obviously I don't think they're "all" anything; I decry the ones who profess their "christianity" yet behave in very unchristian fashion, just as I did that Buddhist. Those ARE the ones making the noise, nobody drowns them out and that's one reason I put up this post, to HIGHLIGHT some who are trying.
