Taking Back the Rainbow
On December 5, 2008 OneNewsNow reporter Allie Martin wrote a story titled, “Outspoken pastor confronts Microsoft execs.” In it he relates that last month black pastor, Ken Hutchison of the Antioch Bible Church in Kirkland, Washington attended the annual Microsoft stockholders meeting where he confronted Microsoft founder Bill Gates and CEO Steve Ballmer and board members about their support and financing of homosexual activist groups. In the article Martin tells that Hutcherson brought up the recent protests by radical homosexuals against the outcome of the ballot imitative, Proposition 8, in which California voters settled the question that marriage was the exclusive domain of one-man, one-woman relationship.
In the article Hutcherson explained, "And my question to Microsoft . . . (why) . . . is (Microsoft) supporting, with millions and millions of dollars, a group that has proven to be intolerant, that has proven to be hateful, violent, and [prejudiced] towards African Americans, [Opponents of the voter initiative] are now calling African Americans who voted for Prop. 8 by 'the N-word.'"
He was further quoted in the article as saying, "You know what they (Microsoft officials) said afterward? . . . "Well, we have voted to continue our charitable gifts. That's why I'm saying I'm not going to stop because they have proven to be hypocrites. And if it was any other group, they would have stopped it immediately."
Martin concluded his story saying that Pastor Hutcherson “is urging concerned Christians to purchase shares in companies like Microsoft who support the pro-homosexual cause and to request that they stop supporting intolerant groups.” In other words, Christians need to become active in all areas of society including business. Too long we have keep out lights lit only when sitting in church pews . . .

ReplyDeleteYour comment was made in the true spirit of anti-Christmas. Now, I ask, "Who is intolerant and hateful?” No one does it better than radical same-sex advocates . . . Take, for example, their reaction to the passage of Prop 8 in California . . .

You can also add the Campbell Soup Company to the list of companies embracing and supporting homosexual causes.

Great post! I really enjoy reading your blog. Keep up the good work. I’ve just started a new blog that will be highlighting the dangers of the secular progressive movement (pro-gay “rights”, pro-abortion, anti-religious freedoms, etc). Unfortunately, most Christians still don’t know what’s going on out there and the mainstream media certainly isn’t covering it.
ReplyDeleteWe’re looking to build a solid group of social conservatives who’ll frequent our site regularly and contribute to some good discussions. I hope you'll check us out!
