They're doing something far more vile and dishonest: They're letting the church's own words speak for themselves.

It's what the Palin/Santorum/Cruz religious-right warned us about all through the last two election cycles: Quoting them verbatim is the lowest form of lame-stream media dishonesty.

"They're doing something far more vile and dishonest: They're letting the church's own words speak for themselves."
You mean the "churches own words" as spewed out by an idiot that works for a publication that is described as thus: ?
"According to the senior contributing writer for the American Journalism Review, Paul Farhi, the Salon offers "provocative (if predictably liberal) political commentary and lots of sex". Great source of information; similar to The National Enquirer.

".....the lowest form of lame-stream media dishonesty."
That line was better suited to the Salon.

Nope; I mean the church's own words, reported in the article.

Remove any opinion or bias, and the story remains essentially the same.

Says the senile old turdkicker who can't refute anything in the article, so he attacks other posters. I was raised in an assortment of southern Baptist cesspits churches, for your fucking information, but we all know information is not what you seek.

[O Really]

Doesn't matter who wrote the article or from whatever point of view. Here's ACE's own document.

I was a church member in my teens, was a janitor in one as an adult and regularly attend events in non-hateful churches.

No matter, I hadn't even posted my opinion and, as has been said, mine and Jonny Scaramanga's thoughts are irrelevant. The issue is Accelerated Christian Education's outright lies and wingnuttery in the face of proved science and even some of the slightly less wingnutty fundamentalist groups. You're fantasizing incorrectly and deflecting, as usual.

[Mr.B]

"Says the senile old turdkicker..."
Liar ... I've never kicked you; why you want to lie like that?

"....who can't refute anything in the article, so he attacks other posters."
Sorry ... I really didn't mean to hurt your little feelings, must've struck a raw nerve, huh?

"I was raised in an assortment of southern Baptist cesspits churches, for your fucking information, but we all know information is not what you seek."
Yeppers, your "fuc*ing information" tells me all I need to know; not that I didn't suspect it in the first place.

You were "raised" in church ... ... So when did you start getting "lowered" towards hell?

So be it. Even today, I know of no "hateful churches"; never been in one. You and Boatrocker must've had one helluva life growing up, what with all the hate and resentment you two grew to harbor toward churches. I really feel sorry for you.

Stick your phony sympathy in your hypocritical ass. All churches are templees of hate and exclusion and intolerance, you sad old fool.

[Mr.B]

"Stick your phony sympathy in your hypocritical ass. All churches are templees (sic) of hate and exclusion and intolerance, you sad old fool."

Obviously that "hate, exclusion, and intolerance" thingy you're so rabidly referring to is referring to homosexuals. So that's why you call yourself "Boatrocker" and you're so consumed with hatred of religion! I suspected that all along, judging from your queen's crown you sport as your avatar. I'm afraid that "intolerance" thingy has been around long before modern churches condemned same-gender copulation, and it's gonna be around quite some time after you're long gone. Deal with it, you wrinkled old queenie. :gayhappy:

[bannination]

I hate all religion, except Buddhism and FSM.

Mostly because the followers are asses who can't think for themselves.

Your subconscious obsession with all things homo (i.e., your latency) continues to rule you. In a thread of conversation that had nothing to do with gays. No surprise, there. I bet you and homerphobe have never actually been seen together.

[O Really]

Is that a "queen's crown?" I thought it was a holy handgrenade. But what do I know.
