Mother doesn't like to say "I Told You So," But ....

... here's the mass-mailing email circulating from the American Family Association urging storming of the Newsweek battlements. Please take a few minutes to "go and do likewise" -- use their helpful info printed below to let Newsweek know there are people of both faith and brains who appreciate a mainstream news publication recognizing that there actually ARE theological perspectives this side of the narrow, literalist fundamentalism that uses the Bible as a weapon in their culture war against those who disagree with their theological perspective.
.
Their voices are out there ... ours need to be, too!
.

Please help us get this information into the hands of as many people as possible by forwarding it to your entire e-mail list of family and friends: Newsweek trashes the Bible in support of homosexual marriage

December 8, 2008

Dear Friend,
.
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.
.
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.

If you subscribe to Newsweek, cancel your subscription and tell them why.
.
Thank you for caring enough to get involved.
Sincerely, Donald E. Wildmon,
Founder and Chairman
American Family Association

    Did anyone else catch the full-page ad the Forces of Evil put in the NY Times last Friday?

    I have all ready sent off my own email to Newsweek, thanking them and advising them I will be ordering a new subscription shortly.

    I strongly encourage others to do likewise. The hate group, AFA, will be pounding Newsweek with emails, the least we can do is send supportive letters ourselves.

    Just got a message that my e-mail to Newsweek using your link didn't reach the addressee.

    (but I didn't get the e-mail back!)

    So there is something fishy going on...
