Evangelical Producer Has ‘Audacity’ To Promote Anti-Gay Film With Rainbow-Colored Banners



Christian evangelist and preacher Ray Comfort, executive producer of the new anti-gay film “Audacity,” plans to fly a deceptive, rainbow-colored banner like the one shown above over 11 U.S. cities to promote it.

Comfort told the right-wing site World Net Daily:

“I wanted to do everything I can to get ‘Audacity’ out of the church and into the world. My big fear is that it’s going to stay within the [proverbial] choir. My concern is for the lost and this movie is made for the lost, so one way to get the lost’s attention is to fly a four-story-high banner across San Francisco and 10 other cities throughout the U.S., so we’re going to do that. I hope it gets people’s attention.”


According to the film’s website, the banner will fly over San Francisco for two days in late August, before heading to New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, New Orleans, Portland, Seattle, Austin, Houston, Denver and Colorado Springs. And, if people want to fly the banner over their city, they can do so for the low, low price of $3,400.

More on “Audacity” from WND:

Comfort said the movie is meant to reach homosexuals and non-Christians without condescending to them.

“This movie paints a very clear gospel message, and it goes into the issue of homosexuality and Christianity in a very loving, compassionate, but uncompromising, way,” he said. …

“We are like doctors with a cure to cancer,” he explained. “We’re like someone who’s standing around watching a four-year-old drown in the swimming pool when we have the ability to jump in and save them. We can’t stand on the sidelines.

“So we’ve got a commission given to us: ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel,’ and every preacher and every Christian should see that as a moral obligation and say to themselves, ‘Love can’t stay silent,’ because hell is a very real place, and we don’t want anyone to end up in hell.”

LGBT folks can get married.

Accept it.

Use your money for something else, like donating to food banks or helping indigent elderly people.

Also, bananas are high in potassium and do not disprove evolution.

Also, Kirk Cameron is very silly.

regard they've saddled LGBT for centuries. I can't even regard any religion seriously after sick extremist clowns the likes of Phelpses and Matt McLaughlin's have made such a mockery of how I regard "god's" loving intent.

"it goes into the issue of homosexuality and Christianity in a very loving, compassionate, but uncompromising, way"

Uncompromising certainly.

Compassionate: no

Loving? Ray doesn't even know the meaning of that word. God damn him and his evil soul and the idle work of his hands.
