Right-Wing Pastor: 'Secular Humanist Caliphate' & 'Militant Homofascism' Taking Over America
Submitted by Miranda Blue on Monday, 3/16/2015 11:41 am
This weekends Awakening conference, an annual event hosted by the Religious Right legal group Liberty Counsel and attended by any number of far-right activists and a few GOP presidential candidates, was dominated by the theme that the Christian Right is in a spiritual war against a satanic coalition of LGBT rights, Islam and progressivism. Nobody summed it up quite as well as Ken Graves, a pastor from Bangor, Maine, who declared to the audience sitting in a megachurch in Orlando that they were in a fight against militant homofascism that seeks to take over our land and make it Sodom and secular humanists who, in conjunction with militant Islam, want to destroy everything we have and establish a secular humanist caliphate. Evoking Seven Mountains dominionism, the doctrine that seeks to deliver control of the seven mountains of society to conservative Christians, Graves declared that it is the secular humanists who now have every major institution. He then pulled a Bible out of his pocket and bellowed to the crowd: Why should we be intimidated if what has been placed in our hands is the very word of God?

Right Wing 'Army' Will Save Texas From 'Public Approval And Acceptance To Homosexual Activity'
Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 3/16/2015 11:17 am
Next Monday, March 23rd, Conservative Republicans of Texas, with the support of over 100 state officials, will host a Defense of Texas Marriage Amendment Rally outside the state capitol at which Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore will be the keynote speaker. Last week, the organization's president, radical right-wing activist Steven Hotze, released a video calling for activists to "join our army to protect biblical marriage" and prevent Texas from having "to grant public approval and acceptance to homosexual activity." "It's time for Christians and conservatives to draw a line in the sand and to rise up and take a stand for God's truth about marriage," Hotze said. "A fierce battle for the soul of Texas has begun. The liberals and their pro-homosexual allies want to force Texans to redefine marriage and to accept homosexual mirage [sic] as morally right. The idea that homosexuals could be married is a mirage. It is contrary to God's moral order. It's a counterfeit. It's a fake. It's a lie."
