Church Leaders Threaten to "Remove" Anyone Who Supports SB 48

[William769]

Proponents of repealing a California law that requires schools to teach LGBT history met at church earlier this week, and kicked any opponents off the property, KTLA news reports.

"They said there's not room for debate," said Milton Davis, one of the gay men kicked out the church where religious leaders had come to gather and pray for repeal of SB 48. "We said we understand that, we don't want to, we just like to listen. They said that they didn't want us on the property at all, period."

Davis said he and others, including a rabbi, were told that people at the church would "remove" them if they didn't leave on their own.

The pastor of the church insisted there's nothing wrong with this picture when he spoke to a KTLA news reporter.

1. Blood atonement?

Are we back to that?

2. Bluffing...

They'd lose a lot of tithe. Religion and politics run on the same fuel: money.

3. I've heard of this church on multiple occasions.

Xavier Thompson - the lead pastor - has tons of billboards all over downtown LA, and from what I've heard is that he's a bit of a scumbag, this move doesn't surprise me at all. George Carlin was right - god is all knowing, all powerful, but he just cant handle money!!
