Christian Hate Group ‘Repent Amarillo’ Terrorizes Texas Town, Harassing Gays, Liberals, And Other ‘Sinners’


An evangelical Christian hate group called “Repent Amarillo” is reportedly terrorizing the town of Amarillo, Texas. Repent fashions itself as a sort of militia and targets a wide range of community members they deem offensive to their theology: gays, liberal Christians, Muslims, environmentalists, breast cancer events that do not highlight abortion, Halloween, “spring break events,” and pornography shops. On its website, Repent has posted a “Warfare Map” of its enemies in town. Calling Repent an “American Taliban,” blogger Charles Johnson notes that the group’s moniker “Army of God” is a rough translation of “Hezbollah.” Led by a man named David Grisham, a security guard at a nuclear-bomb facility called Pantex, Repent first gained media attention in Texas following a campaign to boycott Houston for electing a gay mayor. The group, which is associated with Raven Ministries, collaborates with other Christian groups as well as forced pregnancy advocacy associations like “Bound 4 Life.” - is it something in the water down there?

1. Well, I know what got rid of Phelps in record time
when he and his nutcase family decided to protest the university for gay friendly policies. Two guys went into a soul kiss right in front of the old fraud. He couldn't get out of there fast enough. The guys later said they barely knew each other, it just seemed like the right thing to do.

Demonstrations of real love seem to be something hate groups can't abide to be around.

The only challenge seems to be how to accomplish it with this bunch.

2. David Grisham needs to consider that his employer, Pantex,
generates more bad juju for Amarillo than all of his targets combined...assuming that there's even such a thing as bad juju, karma, or spiritual warfare, that is. AFAIC, he may as well be picketing the Easter Bunny.
