Quote Of The Day – Chuck Colson

“So often today, conscientious objectors to homosexual marriage are being accused of hatred. It’s a dangerous trend. Anyone who’s read the Declaration knows that’s not so, but so much for civil discourse. More and more, rather than engage in a reasoned and civil discourse about the issues, backers of so-called ‘gay marriage’ are determined to silence opposition.

“The methods range from judicial activism and censorship, to accusations of ‘hate.’ But the goal remains the same: to shut down the debate. Nearly half a million signers of the Manhattan Declaration have pledged to defend the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and religious freedom. And one way to defend these principles is to stand up to the political bullying. And we will. But we will always respond in love to those who accuse us of hate.” – Manhattan Declaration co-author Chuck Colson, responding to Apple’s decision to delete his iPhone app.
