Anti-Prop. 8 mob rings in 2009 with more church vandalism

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 5, 2009 06:02 AM

The tolerance bullies are at it again — engaging in renewed property damage in the name of peace, love, and understanding. Oh, and shooting themselves in the foot to boot. The anti-Prop. 8 mob opened up their new year by spray-painting a Catholic church in San Francisco’s Castro district to protest support for traditional marriage. Only one small oversight: The church they targeted is actually “gay-friendly” and opposed the ballot measure, too. D’oh.

Via KGO:

Vandals spray-painted swastikas on a Catholic church in San Francisco’s Castro District Saturday night.

It appears the vandals are upset about the Catholic church’s support of Proposition 8, which made same-sex marriage illegal in California.

But, the Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church on Diamond Street is gay-friendly. Many parishioners voted against Prop 8 and they are upset their church was targeted.

Idiocy:

Black spray-painted swastikas marred the front of Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in San Francisco’s Castro district. Though the church itself is gay friendly, the proposed ban on gay marriage had support from prominent Catholics up to and including Pope Benedict.

Pastor Steve Meriweather told KCBS his parishioners actually share the vandals’ sentiment against Prop 8. “I think it’s unfortunate that they selected our community to attack,” said Meriweather, “because it’s the wrong one.”

Does this mean the pastor endorses attacks on churches and individual donors who don’t share the sentiments of the No on 8 blacklisters and rainbow-fisters?

    Good post…thank you! You made points that I was trying to make, but you said it better! Churches are only as good as the parishioners inside. There are good churches and some not so good. The Pastor is important, and if you get a good one, they are gold. One very important thing about belonging to a church community…your children. Our two daughters would not be as close to God today if they hadn’t had the influence of a church upbringing. No amount of teaching by us parents would have done as well as the church and the gatherings of their peers. I thank God for our church and the success my children have made of their lives.

    By the way, my athiest, liberal brother said he would never go to church because it is full of hypocrites. Ha!! Can you imagine that? A liberal calling church people hypocrites. ROFLMAO!

    When growing up, I remember that both Baptists and Methodists would not allow card playing, movies, drinking alcohol, or dancing. They allowed a game called Rook because it didn’t use the regular card deck that the church considered closely related to tarot cards and witchcraft. I dated a Baptist boy for a while and we very wickedly went to some movies and even danced together. His conscience bothered him, but we were teenagers and it was exciting! There are still some Baptist and Methodist churches that forbid those things, but most don’t. My oldest daughter went to Valparaiso University, which is a Missouri Synod Lutheran Univ. They are the most “strict” and straight-laced of the Lutherans Synods, but she managed to have fun and even a “few” drinks! She went on to become a Youth Director at a Methodist church.

    Soap and Happy, my best to you both and thanks for the comments.

    You are sure right about Baptist’s and drinking. I have not been in a Baptist church yet that has anything good to say about it. You can still be a member in good standing and drink, but to hold an official position, teacher, deacon etc. you have to abstain.

    A lot of the kids in our church head to Liberty University for college. There are an awful lot of rules concerning fraternization, behavior and dress, but it’s a great environment. My son has a strong faith but decided to go a different direction for school. He’s attending James Madison, a good education but a true party school. What could I say? OU wasn’t exactly a convent even in the 70’s. Shoot, streaking was still popular.

    Absolutely on the game! Texas is underperforming so far but my Sooners will rule!

    Sure looks like the last days with the Muslims wanting Israel eradicated and now the gays calling Christians hate mongers. Remember that Isaiah said that in the last days people will call what is good evil and and likewise call evil good. As stated before True Christians will be hated and persecuted because Jesus said we would be hated because He was first hated.
