'Angry Queers': Christians are 'scum,' deserve 'hammers through their windows'
2012-05-14
The group that allegedly smashed up a Portland church hopes its "small act of vengeance will strike fear into the hearts of" Christian leaders who teach traditional sexual morality, according to an e-mail message the group released to the public.
Two versions send to different media outlets, the longer of which names names.
A group calling itself "Angry Queers" has claimed responsibility for throwing baseball-sized rocks through nine church windows in Portland's Mars Hill Church, including two 100-year-old stained glass panes.

Neither media outlet reported the message's invocations of violence against traditional Christians, which appeared in both versions
The "brand of Christianity" taught by Mark Driscoll, pastor of the largest Mars Hill Church in Seattle, "crusades against the 'feminization' of Jesus," the e-mail stated. "We angry queers are not fans of Jesus, but we have a problem with anyone who has a problem with femmes."

The e-mail, which is peppered with foul language, berates the Q Center, a local LGBT activist organization, for engaging in a dialogue with the Mars Hill's leadership. "What we have to say to the Q Center is this: F--K YOU, you don't represent us. You are disgusting traitors who prioritize social peace and the bourgeois aspirations of rich white cis gay people over the more pressing survival needs of more marginalized queers."

"F--k dialog with people who want us dead," the e-mail read. "The only dialog we need with scum like Mars Hill is hammers through their windows."

"We hope this small act of vengeance will strike some fear into the hearts of all of Mars Hill's pastors, and warm the hearts of our friends and comrades (known or unknown). It may not get better, but we can certainly get even," it concludes.

Neither media outlet reported the message's invocations of violence against traditional Christians, which appeared in both versions.

The long form of the e-mail has also appeared on several left-wing websites in the area.

#13  A preacher once said that the gay mind set is a militant mind set. He also defined "righteous indignation" as not what someone does to you, but what they are doing to those around you. When/if they start attacking Christians, expect Christians to unload both barrels at the perpetuators.

Christian scripture records several unfortunate events regarding God's judgment vs militant gays. That string of events won't be stopping any time soon.

#6  sure they attack the Church because christians are non violent

Not for much longer. My Pastor has been talking about the rising bigotry and attacks on Christians for some time. And I know that other acquaintances that attend other churches have said the same thing.

You will soon see a reemergence of militant Christianity, and we will not roll over. These crap stains won't know what hit them when the backlash comes.

#5  Besides which, Southern Baptists and Catholics make up a very large percentage of the military, and the private firearm owners in this country. 00 buckshot tends to slowdown those trying to damage a church. And attacking a church because it is a particular denomination is a Federal and state hate crime, giving those that choose to protect the church some great legal cover.

#4  The crazy left doesn't seem to understand that Christians basing their opinions on their beliefs are not the same as a group of folks coming up with a party platform (or how to disguise said platform from masses who would be appalled if they knew). The Christians are far less lokiely to change their opinion and in fact this violent nonsense probably reenforfes it.

#3  Bigotry against Christians has very nearly reached critical mass the left needs to attack them in an outright manner.

The distance from incidents like this to murder, mayhem, and a government that will look the other way or possibly abet these guys by disenfranchising Christians is a half of an eigth of a baby step.

I've been warning that this was coming for years. We are finally arrived at this point. Look for a lot more of these intimidation tactics in the runup to the election, and for a storm of them if Obama happens to lose.
