Google, Amazon try to stop Texas from passing religious freedom protections

Image
A coalition of business interests is descending on Texas lawmakers to pressure them to abandon several pieces of pending legislation that would protect various professionals in the state from being forced to engage in practices that violate their consciences on issues such as abortion and sexuality. The Texas Legislature is currently considering a handful of religious-freedom bills, the Austin American-Statesman reports. They would bar state licensing agencies from limiting professionals’ ability to act on a “sincerely held religious belief,” let medical professionals refuse to provide non-emergency treatments such as abortions, let Texans choose not to provide goods, services, or participation to same-sex “weddings,” let judges refuse to perform “marriages” that conflict with their religious beliefs, protect businesses’ right to segregate bathrooms based on biological sex, and allow religious groups including university organizations limit hiring, renting, or membership to indi

Google Loses Gay-Rights Endorsement Over Controversial Conversion Therapy App

Image
Google lost an endorsement from the Human Rights Campaign, the largest and most aggressive U.S. LGBTQ group, over an app tied to the practice of so-called “conversion therapy” to change a gay person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. The app, however, is just an online pastoral counseling method to help those who want to leave the homosexual lust filled lifestyle choices. Alphabet Inc.’s Google, which had previously scored a perfect 100 on the annual Corporate Equality Index, will have its rating withheld until the app is removed from its Android phones, Human Rights Campaign said in a statement. It’s only the third time in the 17-year history of the index that a rating has been withheld. But who cares what HRC says or does? “We have been urging Google to remove this app because it is life-threatening to LGBTQ youth and also clearly violates the company’s own standards,” the Human Rights Campaign said in a statement. The program has already been removed from app stores run by

Christian Law school looses accreditation because of homosexuality

Since the US Supreme Court legalized gay “marriage” last month, a number of people (including those of us at AiG) have been warning that legalizing gay “marriage” is only the beginning of an agenda. From what we’ve seen and know about the LGBT movement , the leaders don’t just want legalization of their immmoral behavior, but also want to force acceptance of this on everyone. They want everyone not just to tolerate their position, but to accept it while they themselves show intolerance for those who do not hold to their views. I encourage you to read this article from Canada , which we believe is a warning of things to come in the USA . The article is titled, “ Canada Court Denies Christian Law School Accreditation Due to University’s Rule against Gay Sex .” It states, A Canada court has upheld the denial of accreditation to a Christian law school, holding the private school’s prohibition of homosexual behavior is sufficiently discriminatory that its degrees can be invalidated for th

Catholic Relief Services vice-president is in a gay ‘marriage’, promotes gay agenda

Update April 20: In keeping with our regular practice, we contacted Catholic Relief Services on Friday morning for a response prior to publication, and gave them a deadline of 4pm. In this case they did not respond. However, by Monday morning, Estridge's LinkedIn and Facebook profiles were taken down. BALTIMORE, MD , April 20, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -- As Catholic bishops throughout the U.S. face attacks for requiring Catholic teachers not to support same-sex “marriage,”  new evidence  shows that a vice-president at the bishops’ own foreign relief agency is himself “married” to another man. Critics say the news confirms Catholic Relief Services’ history of hiring high-level employees who openly oppose fundamental Catholic moral teachings, and raises further doubts about the organization’s stewardship of Catholic funds. Rick Estridge, Catholic Relief Services' Vice President of Overseas Finance, is in a same-sex "marriage," public records show. Twitter

‘Same-self marriage’: The pinnacle of the culture of narcissism

Image
English: Sigmund Freud (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Since time immemorial, marriage has meant the union of a man and a woman for life, usually for the purpose of raising children. But today marriage tends to mean just about any relationship you can think of—first so-called same-sex marriage, now polyamory, or even polygamy are said to be just as valid. But it doesn’t stop there. So hold onto your cummerbund, because I’ve got a new one for you. It’s known as sologamy—marrying oneself. Or as Dr. Timothy George of Beeson Divinity School called it in a recent First Things article, “same-self marriage.” Dr. George, of course, was a close colleague of Chuck Colson and the past president of the Colson Center’s Board of Directors. Although sologamy isn’t a big trend yet (but then again, neither were other forms of “marriage”), Dr. George points to several notable examples. Author Sara Sharpe wrote about her self-marriage bliss in her book “A Dress, A Ring, Promises to Self.” Meanwh

Mainstream media goes gaga over Pope Francis and same-sex civil unions

Image
ROME, March 7, 2014– As I do most mornings, one of the first things I did today was put the search terms “Pope Francis” into Google . This morning the offerings from the mainstream media, and a fair chunk of the blogosphere, is along the lines of “Pope Francis leaves door open for civil unions!” Ah, there must have been another interview, I thought. Here we go again… Sure enough, yesterday  Corriere della Sera , one of Italy’s mainstream daily papers published another “wide-ranging”  interview with Pope Francis , and the usual round of arguments, disputes and triumphant whoops exploded over what the pope said, didn’t say, was mistranslated or misinterpreted or misrepresented as saying, in the press and the blogosphere. An English translation was provided  Wednesday by  Zenit , which gave the money quote as: Many countries have regulated civil unions. Is it a path that the Church can understand? But up to what point? Holy Father : Marriage is between one man and o

Gay groups: Google Plus, iTunes must censor Christian smartphone app to cure homosexuality

Image
Homosexual lobby groups are outraged at Google for having an app that claims to be able to cure unwanted same-sex attraction in 60 days , available at its Google Play online store. The self-help app is from the organization called Setting Captives Free , which produces a series of interactive courses that deal with addictive behaviors including sexual impurity, overeating, substance abuse, gambling, and smoking. The group claims to have helped over half-a-million people overcome unwanted habits. The contentious app is called Door of Hope. "You have arrived at the Door of Hope, the 60-day interactive course that will teach you to enjoy a newfound relationship with the Lord and how to find freedom from homosexuality. It is possible, and you can learn how," the brief description of the app states. PinkNews reported that a homosexual group calling itself Gaylesta (The LGBTQ Psychotherapist Association of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area ) sent a statement to Google co

Google launches worldwide campaign against ‘homophobic’ countries

Image
LONDON, UK , July 9, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Mega-search engine company Google, well known for its endorsement of homosexuality and same-sex “marriage,” announced a new international campaign over the weekend focused on forcing their homosexual ideology on countries that they describe as “homophobic.” Mark Palmer-Edgecumbe, Google’s head of diversity, made the official announcement during the Global LGBT Workplace Summit in London on July 7, and indicated that the initiative, called “Legalize Love,” debuted in Poland and Singapore that day because Poland does not recognize same-sex couples and Singapore has laws against sodomy. “The ‘Legalize Love’ initiative will promote human rights and tackle employment discrimination in countries with anti-gay laws on the books,” Google said in a written statement, according to  CNN . The campaign will eventually expand to every country where the company has an office, said Palmer-Edgecumbe, but first will “focus on places w
