Soulforce is a sole farce

A Godless Farce

I received the following alert from Americans for Truth, a national organization which is devoted exclusively on exposing and countering the homosexual activist movement and agenda. Soulforce is a radical homosexual activist group doing anything and everything to advance its pernicious and society-damaging agenda. Churches and Christians should especially be very wary of this ungodly, un-American and anti-American group. They are intent on making homosexuality and other sexual perversions totally acceptable, justified and even a specially protected and preferred lifestyle in America.

News Release

June 13, 2008:

In an outrageous example of sloppy journalism, Newsweek’s Lisa Miller defamed Pastor Rick Warren, the best-selling Christian author and mega-church pastor. Miller reported Warren compromised on the matter of homosexuality.

The bogus claims originated with a homosexual activist group, Soulforce. It issued a press release stating they were meeting with Rick Warren for a “conversation” and that
Warren was inviting homosexual fathers to come to church on Father’s day.

Timothy Egan of The New York Times furthered the lie. Neither major news outlet fact checked the story.

Rick Warren responded: “Newsweek quoted a Soulforce press release headline that was 100% false. We did not invite this group and I will not be meeting with them. They invited themselves to draw attention to their cross country publicity stunt.”

“Soulforce is not trying to have a ‘conversation,’ it is trying to force its pro-homosexual agenda on to churches. Newsweek and the New York Times owe Rick Warren an apology for publishing reports he compromised the Christian view of family,” said Dr. Gary Cass, of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission.

“God ordained marriage to be between ‘one man for one woman for one lifetime.’ Warren would never intentionally undermine that standard,” said Cass. “Soul Force’s attempt to legitimize its radical homosexual views by associating themselves with Rick
Warren’s ministry is deceitful and shameful.”

Soulforce is the middle of a mega-church blitz called “The American Family Outing.” This trip is an effort to “spark a conversation” between the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and
transgender families and the members of the six mega-churches. The tour ends at Warren’s Saddleback Church in California.

“Soulforce says they want to ’spark a conversation.’ Too bad for Soul Force they just set their own pants on fire,” said Cass. “If Soul Fore can rationalize their homosexuality and work to destroy God’s institution of marriage, then defaming a faithful Christian minister along the way must apparently not be a that big of a deal.”

I do not have a lot of respect for Rick Warren for the positions he has recently taken. This includes his unwarranted invitations to liberal leftist Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton and Marxist Barrack Hussein Obama to speak in his church as part of HIV/AIDS conferences. He seems to have also fallen for the made-made global warming non-issue nonsense. However, he seems to be drawing a line at appearing to support the perverse homosexual agenda.

TAKING ACTION

I would concur with the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission and encourage Christians and conservatives to e-mail Newsweek’s editor and ask that they issue a retraction and an apology to Rick Warren for publishing a false report that he compromised the Christian value of traditional family.
