Official Denouncement
As Christians, we need to police ourselves when our brethren do something really bad. This is one of those times.
I hereby declare this group not Christian by any standard I know, so anyone that wants to use them to point out the foibles of Christianity, you aren't doing it here.
NewsCenter 5's Gail Huff reported that Staff Sgt. Christoper Piper, 43, served in both Afghanistan and Iraq and was awarded a bronze star for his combat service. The Green Beret died when his convoy was bombed June 3 in Afghanistan and a right-wing Protestant Christian church group from Topeka, Kansas is planning to demonstrate at Piper's funeral services at the Old North Church. They claim U.S. soldiers like Piper are dying because the country is being punished for its tolerance of what they see as immoral behavior, such as homosexuality.Do they honestly think God would do something that unjust?
