When Bad Theology Meets National Tragedy
The American Family Association has brought together bad theology and a blasphemous underestimation of God's providence to produce a video that blames the Virginia Tech shootings (and every other school shooting in recent memory) on the disappearance of organized prayer in public schools, public school administrators in general, Hollywood, a lack of restrictions on abortion, and much more! The gist of the video is: We have abandoned God; God has abandoned us; and now our young people are shooting one another.
Disclosure: The American Family Association once attacked me personally, so I'm not really a huge fan of what they do.

This video upsets me on so many levels. Not only is the theology bad, but the implication that our witness as followers of Christ is muted by any of the things that they reference is laughable. Too bad that the telling the truth is something that never occurs to AFA or IRD.
i'd love to hear the story behind the y03 event. are they going to protest you being at y07?
Josh:
I wandered over from John's and read all of the referenced links. With all due respect, and I do not wish to reopen any old wounds - if they exist - but I failed to see how the AFA attacked you personally. I have no connection with the AFA, and truthfully was unaware of the AFA till watching the video. From my reading, it appeared that they disagreed with your account, but in no way did the link that you provided attack you personally. Are we at a point that disagreeing with one's point of view is now a personal attack? Thank you in advance.
FWIW, I think that those behind the video were intellectually and spiritually sloppy.
Respectfully,
Joseph
Well, I guess it's comforting to know that the AFA has a program to help save the UMC.
*shudder*
