Is this another sign of the Great Falling Away? A "Christian" university in Arizona is acknowledging gay marriage. Grand Canyon University is now extending benefits to same-sex marriage partners.
[...]
Unfortunately, giving a nod to same-sex marriage by extending these benefits cracks the foundation. Although GCU maintains that marriage is a "sacred union between a man and a woman, which will continue to be espoused throughout the university's curriculum and classrooms," they have nonetheless to give a nod to gay marriage by extending benefits so as to respect and honor its neighbors and the law.
[...]
Is GCU really saying that Christians should not engage in the spiritual war that's trying to make darkness the norm in our society? Do the leaders of this institution really believe that disengaging from a culture war in which anti-Christ agendas are working overtime to silence the gospel is wisdom?

Yes, that seems to be what they're saying. Oh horrors, Christians that don't agree with other Christians! Whatever shall we do!

Sounds like the Christians are playing along with the new laws licensing gay delusions, just as German Christians played along with new Nazi laws. History shows that Christians have accommodated evil far too often. A recent example is the Church conniving at homosexual priests molesting children as homosexuals are wont to do.
Anton. What's a 'gay delusion'? Is it the vainglorious hope that one day bigoted arses like you will all have died off or fucked off to their own theocratic state, leaving gay people alone to live their lives in peace? And your conflation of homosexuality with the rise of Nazism and paedophilia in the clergy wins the "Godwin-related fuckwittery" award for this week.
A Christian university is following the law; whatever will come next?!?
Darkness? If loving couples getting married is darkness to you, then you have a very cold heart.
You do know that, according to the Bible, Jesus had much more against rich people than gay people, right? What have you done in the culture war against the hypocrite televangelists, Jennifer?
@Anton
Hitler WAS one of those German Christians; they even had God With Us on their belt buckles. And, they exterminated homosexuals along with Jews, Communists and Roma people.
The Church is conniving at pedophile priests molesting children, as pedophiles are wont to do. Most pedophiles are heterosexual males, in their adult sexuality. Priests have easy access to altar boys; that's why they molest mostly boys. If there were as many altar girls, there would probably be mostly girls getting molested.
One day, it would be nice if all these fundies would leave consenting adults ALONE! Then they might manage to target the filth that really touch kids, girls and boys, instead of protecting them, as churches are wont to do.
I live in hope.

It's only you nutty Christians who are turning social progress into a "war." A war that's long been lost, which the GCU administration probably realizes. Nobody's going to ever ban gay marriage again, nor are they ever going to force gay people back into the closet.
@ BigGingeyandMrFeral'sdad Of course, the argument for sodomy relies on claiming there are no moral boundaries, so how can you condemn the others?@Swede Note it is the sexual acts they commit that are evil not any emotional love they might have. Everyone knows the "marriage" is meant to be a celebration of the crimes against nature they engage in.

Sounds like Antbrain is back - despite what happened last time (http://www.fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=114727&Page=2#1887394 *) - further proving he's a Single Issue Wonk : and an Armoured Closeted one, at that.
*- And that was a thread concerning women's sexual health in Burma. So why the need to mention Burmese gays ...?! [/Freud]
As per before, I suggest that Antbrain gets back into said Armoured Closet of his. Tastefully decorated in a leopard print, with ostrich feathers & neon signs, and speakers blaring out "I Am What I Am" by Gloria Gaynor.
And don't forget, Antbrain: All right-wingers & Christain fundies are pederasts. No Exceptions. [/Josh Buggar]

If you're a Christian of the same brand as resident FSTDT troll Jerry, you immediately denounce those that disagree with you as Satanic-Pagan-False Christians, of course.
@#1924761
If by 'Everyone knows' you mean 'Everyone who's opposed to gay marriage falsely claims', then you're right. Gay marriage is nothing more than extending the same legal recognition and rights to homosexual couples as already exist for heteosexual couples. If it's celebrating anything, it's the love between two consenting adults, just like it always has, but now available to more people.
*At least, that's the hope
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
