Christian Right group: Being pro-gay violates separation of church and state

[ck4829]

No, hallucinogenic gas is not being pumped into the room. And no, your computer did not just become self-aware and in an attempt to find out what humor was, it created this page. You read it right.

The Alliance Defense Fund sent Lakeshore Technical College a letter demanding that they cease and desist over a video they were showing which has religious leaders who say that there is no conflict between what scriptures say and being gay:

(W)hen the Founding Fathers wrote that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion," they ensured that the state would not declare some religious beliefs superior to others. The fundamental principle they embedded in the Bill of Rights is one of denominational neutrality.

By showing For the Bible Tells Me So, LTC flaunted his fundamental First Amendment principle. This film overly favors denominations and religious sects that favor homosexual conduct, makes Biblical arguments about the morality of such conduct, and denigrates the theological views of those who do not favor it. And two federal courts have already recognized that such programs are unconstitutional.

And ADF has apparently succeeded, with Lakeshore agreeing to stop showing the film and even allowing concerned staff "to hold a campus-wide event to present the Bible's actual teachings on homosexual conduct."

Let's review:

Showing video to college students that says being gay is OK - Establishment of religion apparently

Teachers telling you it's not - OK
