False Prophets in America

Here is an excerpt from the New York Christian Coalition's press release, written by Rev. Banuchi. Basically, what I get from this is that he is suggesting that homosexuals, like cigarettes, should have warning labels?!

June 12, 2005.

"The New York Christian Coalition expresses a deep sense of sorrow concerning the first Gay Pride Day being observed in New Paltz today. When a society has degenerated to the point of celebrating an immoral lifestyle that results in sickness and premature death it’s questionable whether that society can long survive. We put warning labels on cigarette packs because we know that smoking takes 1 to 2 years off the average life span, yet we “celebrate” a lifestyle that we know spreads every kind of sexually transmitted disease and takes at least 20 years off the average lifespan according to the 2005 issue of the refereed scientific journal Psychological Reports. Something is wrong with this picture.

No society can continue to expect the peace and prosperity we have known in this nation if we neglect God’s eternal rules of order. I’m not the first to suggest this idea. It was first iterated by George Washington in his once famous farewell speech. No, we don’t see this as an occasion to celebrate, but rather as an occasion to pray for those who are deceived by the lies of popular culture, who are caught up in a destructive lifestyle, and for the children who are being zealously evangelized by radical homosexuals. Engraved in granite in the ceiling of the Missouri Senate Chamber are the words, “Nothing is politically correct that is morally wrong.” Those words could never be more appropriate. No, we cannot join in the celebration, rather we join in the sentiments of Thomas Jefferson who said, “…I tremble when I reflect that God is just; that his justice will not sleep forever.” May God’s grace continue to be shed on America."

...it occurs to me that at one time in history homosexuals were given labels... along with Jews and Poles...

How can such venomous hate-speech be tied to the message of Christianity anyway... one of compassion, forgiveness, and love? God's grace for man knows no bounds... yet it is commonplace to find those who claim to be professing His message professing a very different message altogether. Like false prophets, these people are experts at leading people astray, for muddying the waters and clouding God's message to us.

..And isn't it about time for Christians who see this as a slap in the face to their ideals to take a stand and expose these people for the false prophets they are?!?

Here is the report from the NY Christian Coalition...

and here is the amount of press this is getting, a la google news...

And for those wondering where Banuchi has come up with this crap, let me point you over to the Family Research Institute, specializing in PseudoScience since 1986.
