Logo of the Fox Broadcasting Company (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Craig James , a former professional football player and respected sportscaster, is suing Fox Sports Southwest , alleging that the broadcast network fired him because of his religious beliefs on homosexuality and marriage. After working at the network for only a few days—and hosting one broadcast—James was terminated by Fox Sports on Sep. 1, 2013. A senior vice president at the network suggested that the decision was based on statements James made about homosexuality and same-sex marriage—expressed more than a year prior to being hired at Fox Sports while campaigning to run for Senate. James ran for a U.S. Senate seat in 2012, eventually losing to Sen. Ted Cruz , R- Texas . “We just asked ourselves how Craig’s statements would play in our human resources department,” Lou D’Ermilio, Fox Sports Southwest’s senior vice president of communications, told the Dallas Morning News in early September 2013. “He couldn’t say

Matthew Vines on the Homosexuality of Genesis 19 and Sodom and Gomorrah

Sodom and Gomorrha, Alte Pinakothek, Room 23 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Mr. Vines says, " Genesis 19 . The actions of the men of Sodom are intended to underscore their cruel treatment of outsiders--not to somehow tell us that they were gay . . . It’s now widely conceded by scholars on both sides of this debate that Sodom and Gomorrah do not offer biblical evidence to support the belief that homosexuality is a sin ." Matthew Vines cites no reference to demonstrate that it is "widely conceded by scholars on both sides of this debate that Sodom and Gomorrah do not offer  biblical  evidence to support the belief that homosexuality is a sin.”  Just saying it doesn't make it so.  In contradiction to his assertion, a quick look into commentaries on Genesis 19 provides the following: The term "sodomy” is derived from this passage. It is widely held that the severity of God ’s judgment of Sodom had to do with the prevalence of homosexuality there. 1 Sodom and

July 5, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Dr. Keith Ablow , a psychiatrist who functions as a Fox News expert on the channel’s “Medical A-Team” says that he hesitates to write anything that might be considered objectionable to homosexual activists, due to the threats of violence he is likely to receive as a result. In a recent Fox News interview with Ablow, the psychiatrist spoke about the recent  New Family Structures Study  (NFSS), which showed that children who were aware of same-sex sexual activity on the part of at least one of their parents were much more likely to have been sexually abused themselves and to suffer from depression, impaired relationships with others, and many other problems. Observing that the study is the largest ever done on this subject, Ablow said that the disturbing results indicate “we’ve got to look more at it,” adding: “And it’s such a controversial thing, I’ve got to tell you, that I hesitate to write the blog [on the topic], because every time I

News Corp., parent company of Fox News, to publish mag promoting gay ‘marriage’

Fox News’ parent company, the conservative-leaning, Rupert Mordoch-owned News Corporation, is preparing to publish a magazine devoted to homosexual “marriage” in the wake of its legalization in New York. The September 29 debut of “WEDDING Pride” by News Corp. ’s Community Newspaper Group has drawn fire from both homosexual supporters, who have slammed the move as a transparent case of financial opportunism, as well as conservatives concerned about what the move says about the future of News Corp and Fox . “It has come to my attention that News Corp, parent company to virulently homophobic Fox News and NY Post doesn’t apparently hate the gays enough to not make a buck off them, if the opportunity presents itself,” quipped one writer on the liberal Daily Kos blog. Peter LaBarbera of Americas for Truth about Homosexuality  said , however, that “Conservative and faith-based Americans do not look to Fox to promote sin.” “And yet, every time Fox promotes homosexuality, that’s exactly w
