American Family Association OUTRAGED!: Newsweek chooses Teh Gay over Teh Bible
Edited on Tue Dec-09-08 08:32 PM by marmar
Alright, Newsweek! :toast: :applause: :yourock:




from the AFA:


Newsweek trashes the Bible in support of homosexual marriage

Send an e-mail to Newsweek telling Newsweek you are disappointed with its distorted interpretation of scripture.



Newsweek magazine has published a lengthy article stating that the Bible supports homosexual marriage. The article was written Lisa Miller, Newsweek religion editor.

Miller's article is one of the most biased and distorted pieces concerning homosexual marriage ever published by any major news organization. The article is much too long for this e-mail.

Dr. Albert Mohler has offered a response to the Newsweek article. I suggest you read Mohler’s article and then read Miller's Newsweek article.

Mohler made a significant point in his response: "The national news media are collectively embarrassed by the passage of Proposition 8 in California. Gay rights activists are publicly calling on the mainstream media to offer support for gay marriage, arguing that the media let them down in November. It appears that Newsweek intends to do its part to press for same-sex marriage. Many observers believe that the main obstacle to this agenda is a resolute opposition grounded in Christian conviction. Newsweek clearly intends to reduce that opposition."

Take Action



* Send an e-mail to Newsweek telling Newsweek you are disappointed with its distorted interpretation of scripture.

* Forward this e-mail to your friends and family. They need to see how the media distorts scripture to support same-sex marriage. Ask them to send the e-mail to Newsweek.

* Call CEO Thomas E. Ascheim at 212-445-5245. Please be polite.

6. What an excellent article
I loved how Miller brought in polygamy in the Old Testament - yeah that's exactly what marriage in the 21st century should look like.
