So someone stole a churches property because 'the gays'?
Fuck that guy. The church has a right to fly whatever flag it damned well pleases. |

Sorry, I can't agree with stealing "a homo" flag.
We have much bigger issues than what flag a church raises, or what any individual does legally with their life. Frankly some people's obsession with gays/homosexuality is disturbing to me. The more people are side doesn't alienate the better we stand against the dems. |
|
Sounds like an asshole of a person is going out of their way to get offended. The church wants to display their commitment to accepting people for who they are and being a inclusive house of god for all of his children, aint nothing wrong with that.

99.87% of time these are closeted gay folks struggling with their identity. View Quote In this particular case though you also have to figure that some people are going to take extreme offense to that sort of behavior being associated with a church, especially if it is a church of their denomination. It's not right but it is easy to understand. Our Methodist church got a new pastor who was very pro gay marriage and wouldn't shut up about it. Our attendance dropped very sharply and that pastor was replaced within 2 years. (Didn't help that she was an awful pastor too, and also told my childhood best friend she wouldn't officiate his wedding because she felt the bible verses they had picked out were derogatory to women...) |

Obviously any flag at his home should be stolen and replaced with a great big pink triangle flag. He thinks it's perfectly acceptable to be a thieving cunt to get his point across.
Fucking asshole. I can't tolerate a thief. Even a passive aggressive note leaving one. |

Some people just don't like them. I think this attempt to shame the anti-gay crowd by pretending they are all gay also is retarded, but yes, I am sure some of them are closeted.

We have a big fight for our Country. Stealing private property because you don't agree with it, that's what the other side does.
And stealing a flag from a church that I do not attend, nor has any bearing on my life, is just plain stupid. |

If a church wants to be recognized by where it's members put their dicks, more power to them. Free country.

View Quote Personally, I don't give a shit what anyone does but corrupting your faith to be "inclusive" of something that's against your faith makes you a hypocritical cunt. Next they'll start teaching that there is no difference in heaven and hell. Fuck, and people wonder why it's irrelevant now for the most part, you can't expect to convert people to your way of thinking if your beliefs are so weak you can't even keep them yourself. |

It's simple enough to just, find a better church.
If you feel that church is preaching blastphame condemn them for it and explain why. Don't go breaking a law that doesn't conflict with Gods commandments/laws. (Thievery/stealing) A church can accept sinners as they are without condoning the persons sins, we're all sinners. In this way a church can welcome homosexuals as well. To welcome them does not mean we (Christians) accept their lifestyle. It does IMO however mean they are not Christians and won't be until they accept Jesus/God and follow his teachings to the best of their ability. |

their church, their flag.
if you don't like it, quit being a pussy. |

Dumb.
That said, I have always found the LGBT flag to be incredibly insulting. The rainbow is supposed to be the symbol of God's covenant with Noah. I'm not going to go around stealing them or something, but I've just always found it very insulting. But insulting Christians and Jews is cool, so whatever. |

You all already know that antifa did this. I am just surprised they didn't spray paint, "Trump Hates Fags!" on the side of the building. The "conservatives" that I know are usually getting ready for their next day of work by 8pm or crawling into bed. When you say, "this makes our side look bad" and sit there crying like a bunch of spanked bitches, that REALLY makes our side look bad. Pull your pee pee's from out between your legs. Really, that's not how you make a vagina. Exposed this bullshit for what it really is...an actual case of false flagging.

View Quote What's the chance this was done by one of the gay members? Recent history dictates it's fairly likely.. |

I don't support the burning of the nation's flag, but I also don't support theft of personal property, and people were praising the guy for stealing it.

You don't see people freaking out about failing to observe any other part of the law.
The Bible is just as clear people who do things we all do every day should be stoned to death as it is about homosexuality. It's a very strange thing to get so hung up about that you're willing to sacrifice important things politically for it IMO. Priorities. |

She left after a while because, she said, they really didn't believe in anything. They were okay people, and had nice potlucks, but she said it was kinda useless. Also, they used to be Christian. I feel they're the natural end state of any liberal Christian related church. |

A lot of these stories are false flags (heh) but they're usually really over the top--if the note had had pro-Trump messages, "fags must die" nonsense etc that's what I would be thinking. This sounds like just some old retired dude with nothing better to do.
