Putting words to action
This is the text of the email I just sent to the AFA over their campaign to block making sexuality and gender identity causes for inclusion in the hate crimes categories:
How dare you have the audacity to call decent Christians to support you in your campaign against H.R. 1592 and S. 1105 by LYING to them about what it says? There is no possible way that a law that criminalizes " willfully causes bodily injury" and "attempts to cause bodily injury" can be seen as making it illegal, or even actionable, for someone to speak out against homosexuality.
You are frauds and hypocrites and the furthest thing from Christians that ever walked the planet. You are attempting to spread fear and hate among the followers of Jesus. Not only that, but you're trying to get them to pay you for doing what Jesus never would have done - try to institutionalize hatred.
How can you look at yourselves in the mirror without horror at the hypocrisy you spread by promoting hatred to the followers of the man who preached love? Bigotry to the people of the Son of God who told them to go out into the world?
When the world ends, I foresee much of the smell of brimstone in your judgement. You have committed sin against the Holy Spirit and you shall not be forgiven without correcting this.
I call on you to publicly admit to your lying and to ask forgiveness of your fellow Christians. Otherwise, no Christian should share fellowship with you.
Edit: To make it clear - it is my feeling that, if you wish to put your feelings across to someone as effectively as possible, you should use the language and conceptual set most familiar to them when doing so. If you speak their language, they will be less likely to dismiss what you've said without listening to it. This does not necessarily mean that they will ever act on it, but at least they will listn to it.
