"Pro-Family" Group offers "hope for Homosexuals"
FPN turns 'Gay Days' into 'Hope Days':
Airplane banners over major homosexual 'celebrations' are offering the hope of forgiveness to homosexuals from San Francisco, California to Detroit, Michigan to Orlando, Florida. (Visit FPN's Hope for Homosexuals.com website.)

1. These people REALLY think being gay is like being an alcoholic
Nutcases, all of 'em.

Would Jesus love a liberal? You bet!

5. They need to fly over the Cheney's
I think their project for the year should be the Rescue of Mary Cheney.

6. The "favor" should be returned.....
There is hope of forgiveness for their bigotry and arrogance. All they need to do is actually listen to the words of Jesus and put away their words and acts of condemnation for things they do not understand.

11. They're so insistent that homosexuality is a sin...
But it's about as sinful as eating pork or leaving your house when you're having your period. Loving and having sex with someone of the same gender does harm to nobody.

These "christians" are freaked because someone told them it was a sin, and they can't think clearly enough to see through the bullshit.

Maybe if they prayed to really understand, they'd find answers. But I guess that's too scary for them.

8. There's an idea!
There's hope that you can find the Peace that Passeth All Understanding, but you must understand that the way to Peace is not through hatred.

"Lead us on the straight path,
The path of those You have so blessed,
Not those who anger or go astray"....translation of the last three lines of the Fatiha, the first sura of the Qur'an.

9. Forgiveness for what?
And hope for what? That the homophobe bigots will figure out their problem?

15. Focusing on other people's business helps them avoid
dealing with their own guilt complexes.

16. And the even greater irony -
is that they completely ignore their individual and community's own best interests (as 11/2 has demonstrated). Thank God they have their 2 part-time jobs - which pay minimum wage and no benefits - at least they stopped gay marriage. Praise His holy name, indeed.

(Sorry to preach at you GoddessOfGuiness :D - I've been on the receiving end of this for 20 years and I am weary of the ignorance. :hi: )
