Disciples of Christ moving to West Hollywood

[church mouse guy]

Disgusted that the Indiana state legislature and Gov. Pence have passed a "religious freedom" law, which, as you know, says that you do not have to cater to nazis, commies, Satanists, and sodomites if you don't want to, the Disciples of Christ says that they will retaliate.

The decaying Disciples of Christ denomination (Alexander Campbell), which has been headquartered in Indianapolis for a century or more, says that they will cancel a tiny convention in Indy scheduled for 2017 but they may even make everyone happy and leave town, presumably to move to West Hollywood.

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), whose headquarters have been in Indianapolis for almost a century, are scheduled to hold their 2017 convention at the Indiana Convention Center, bringing about 6,000 people to the city. But in a letter to Governor Pence, the denomination's leaders said they may move their meeting elsewhere if he signs the Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law. Pence announced Wednesday he would sign the bill into law Thursday during a private ceremony in his office.

In a typical religious leftists nonsensical statement, the Disciples of Christ emoted this garbage to the Indiana Governor:

"Purportedly a matter of religious freedom, we find RFRA contrary to the values of our faith – as well as to our national and Hoosier values," read the letter signed by Disciples president Sharon Watkins, overseas ministries president Julia Brown Karimu and Disciples home missions president Ronald Degges. "Our nation and state are strong when we welcome people of many backgrounds and points of view. The free and robust exchange of ideas is part of what makes our democracy great."

While emphasizing that she doesn't speak for every church within the denomination, Watkins says Disciples believe that Jesus, as was said in the letter, "sat at the table with people from all walks of life, and loved them all."

Or in other words, Jesus sat at the table with sinners and loved them so therefore no one has a right to find anything wrong with anything that anyone does and has to make a cake of swastikas for all who ask.

Ladies and Gentlemen, that is the epitome of the garbage that comes from the religious left. Is there any need to develop a more detailed refutation of this leftist nonsense on stilts?

19 other states already have this law. Nobody is raising a stink about that. Illinois has it and Chicago is one of the biggest Convention cities in the U.S. But Illinois is typically votes Democrat in state wide election.....so it is OK for Illinois, but not the more conservative Indiana.

Thanks! The are a 19th century American denomination without much doctrine and they have gone almost totally liberal. They ordain women and gays. They say that they are against hierarchy but they have allowed some of their clergy to appoint themselves "bishops." When you stand for nothing, you fall for everything....

By saying that Jesus loves everyone, they claim that the logical conclusion is that a baker has to bake a special rainbow cake for a gay wedding. Notice that gays have tried to highjack the sign of the rainbow from the Hebrew Scriptures.

So the DOC does not like that law.

Would they allow a IFB church to join their denomination?

Or does the DOC discriminate
