Volunteers At Franklin Graham's Central Park Tent Hosp Must Stipulate That Gays Will Burn in Hell

Medical Volunteers At Franklin Graham’s Central Park Tent Hospital Must Stipulate That Gays Will Burn In Hell

Gothamist reports:

Franklin Graham, the son of prominent minister Billy Graham, has specifically sought to recruit Christian medical staff to the Central Park facility. According to the group’s website, all volunteers, including health care workers, should read and adhere to a statement of faith, in which marriage is defined as “exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female” and the unrighteous are sentenced to “everlasting punishment in hell.”

Asked whether the Mayor’s Office considers this problematic, a City Hall spokesperson said the field hospital will operate as a Mount Sinai facility, and must adhere to the hospital’s policy against discrimination. The spokesperson did not say whether the city was concerned that volunteers on the project are expected to agree with the group’s anti-gay faith statement.

Wanting to make their bigotry and religious hypocrisy a pre-condition to get these field hospitals operational. Tax the fucker and every so-called religious institution that wants to dictate social policy.

Why stop with this one thing about marriage? What about divorce? What about people who eat ham or make cream gravy for their fried chicken? Why not ask them to condemn liars or those who blaspheme God or don't keep the Sabbath holy?

Frankie must have forgotten that (if you believe) we are ALL god's children. And NO ONE put YOU in charge of making the determination.

THIS is why religion is tanking in this country.
