We are bombarded daily with the plea for "tolerance" from gay rights activists, yet they are the most intolerant bunch I've ever seen. Not content to have "tolerance" from society at large, they are now demanding rights on faith-based college campuses.
A group called Soulforce, on a nationwide bus tour called the Equality Ride, has held forums on several campuses to promote "inclusion" at schools it believes discriminate against gay students. Three of the members were arrested last week after trespassing on a chapel service at Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie. University spokesman Ryan McElhaney said the group had been asked to stay off the campus.
I must say I was disappointed to find that I have more in common with the stand taken by this school than by one of my own denomination. The official stand of the Southwestern Assemblies of God University -- "It's not a question that's up for debate for us. We love the people, but we do believe that homosexuality is a sin." The school that's been most receptive to the group according to Soulforce spokeswoman Caitlyn MacIntyre -- Dallas Baptist University. I think we Baptists need to become a bit more intolerant of sin!
