First, polling research company The Barna Group has released a major survey of gay/lesbian people and their faith.  Founder George Barna said this:

People who portray gay adults as godless, hedonistic, Christian bashers are not working with the facts… A substantial majority of gays cite their faith as a central facet of their life, consider themselves to be Christian, and claim to have some type of meaningful personal commitment to Jesus Christ active in their life today.

At the opposite end of the spectrum we have the Phelps Clan who are now turning their attention to the Jewish community, protesting three institutions last Friday with plans to protest more Jewish sites in the coming weeks.

Check out this batshittery:

While picketing outside the Washington office of the Anti-Defamation League last Friday, Phelps’ daughter Margie told JTA that the group is now focusing on the Jewish community because church members have been “testifying” to gentiles for 19 years that “America is doomed” and they haven’t gotten the message.

“Now it’s too late,” she said. “We’re done with them.”

Margie Phelps added, “one of the loudest voices” in favor of homosexuality and abortion is “the Jews, especially the rabbis.”

“They claim to be God’s chosen people,” she said. “Do you think that God is going to wink at that forever?”
