Maine Church 'Proudly' Hosts Heretical Homosexual Film
The First Congregational Church of South Portland (ME), United Church of Christ, will "proudly" host the movie For the Bible Tells Me So in their sanctuary on Friday, November 30, 2007, at 7:00 p.m.
From the promotional announcement published in the Cape Courier recently, the movie is "a documentary that seeks to reconcile homosexuality and Biblical scripture and reveals that Church-sanctioned anti-gay bias is based almost solely upon a significant and often malicious misinterpretation of the Bible."
The church, in collaboration with the radical homosexual lobbying group, EqualityMaine, published a flyer which asks "Can the love between two people ever be an abomination?"
The movie has been roundly panned, even by such secular liberal sources as the New York Sun, which said, "The film, which purports to document the intersection of homosexuality and the Bible, is more like a primer in the gay lifestyle" and that "sane, educated, traditional Christians are sorely lacking [in the film]."
The screening and following fellowship are free and open to the public. Any "money received [at the event] will be donated to the United Church of Christ's William R. Johnson Scholarship fund for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender seminary students, named in honor of the first openly gay man ordained in the United Church of Christ."
Rev. Dr. John B. McCall, the Senior Minister of the church, and Rev. Elsa A. Peters, the Associate Minister of the church, earlier this year both signed on to public testimony submitted to Maine's Legislature which would have given $283,000 annually in public taxpayer funds to provide abortions for low-income Maine women. The bill, LD 1309, was rejected by the Health and Human Services Committee.

The congressional politicians are disappointing. They haven't sealed the borders to keep out illegals and dangerous terrorists. The Democrats continue to use the Iraq war as a political tool rather than acting like Americans against an enemy who wants to destroy all of us, including the Democrats, and our way of life. The Republicans have trouble finding any common sense backbone and overspend along with the Democrats. The press publishes biased stories of all of this showing its liberal preference.
The Maine state political system is essentially a one-party system and has been for 30 years. If you like your taxes, your high cost of health insurance, your terrible road conditions, the flight of young people, the sanctuary status of Maine for illegals, the attractive conditions for welfare recipients, and the loss of good jobs, thank the Democrats.
Their majority can make happen whatever they wish. I am still astounded that the good hard-working people of Maine swallow what the Democrats say and not realize that they vote the opposite way. With our super welfare system the Democrats have created a large number of voters who are dependent upon the system and this makes a large voting bloc. It won't be long before those who are paying for it will be out-numbered by those receiving it.
There are a number of petitions being circulated to create ballot questions for people's legislation that can fix some of our problems. Consider them carefully.
