The First Bad Man

Journalism, Opinion, Propaganda And Pastor Holick

I receive several comments every time I use the word “homosexual” in a blog.  But one individual kinda hurt my feelings by commenting that my writings were not journalism but propaganda.

If you desire journalism, read Chipper1’s Weblog.  If you seek opinion, read Montague County Moments.  If it is propaganda you want, read Al Gore.

In August of 2007, Mr Gore spoke at a forum on global warming in Singapore (must have traveled by rowboat since he wants to cut back on emissions) where he said, “This is one of the strongest scientific consensus views in the history of science.  We live in a world where what used to be called propaganda now has a major role to play in shaping public opinion.”

What?  Did I miss something?  Propaganda is “effort directed systematically toward the gaining of public support for an opinion or course of action.”

Hmmm, global warming comes to mind!  Step outside Al — its cold…brrrr!

By the way, concerning my blog of January 22nd, and the comments, the trespassing count against Pastor Holick was dismissed at the city’s request after officials watched a videotape that revealed the pastor was conducting himself peacefully on a public sidewalk.

Homosexuals Denied Expression Of Faith

Mark Holick, Pastor of Spirit One Christian Center located in Wichita, Kansas, was arrested last summer when a homo-fest was being held in a public park in Wichita.

Pastor Holick was fulfilling his Christian obligation of sharing his faith with a group of homosexuals who were assembled on public property celebrating whatever homosexuals celebrate.  It took just a little over three minutes for the police to slap the cuffs on the Christian minister and charge him with trespassing (evidently the Wichita police do not know the true meaning of “trespass”).

I have never read anything in the Constitution that states that the exercise of ones First Amendment rights is a criminal act.  It also seemed strange to me that the elite force of peacekeepers arrested a Christian when there was a homo-sex-fest taking place on public property…(Am I missing something in this First Amendment issue?)

Pastor Mark was only attempting to express his faith — that’s all.  As a mater of fact, he had contacted the police department a full week before the festival and asked about expressing his views.  The flip-flop officers of the peace told the good minister there would be no problem as long as he stayed on the sidewalk.  But when the pastor arrived for the event he was confronted by police, asked to move to another location, then arrested [all in less than four minutes].

The arrest for trespass has been dropped by the city of Wichita – but the damage is done.  The proclamation of Scripture and prayer was silenced.  I would not want to be the one who has to stand before the judgement bar of God and confess that I was responsible for for suppressing His Word.  Pastor Mark Holick only wanted to communicate the Gospel message to a group of homosexuals whom he believes are bound for hell because they deviate from the normal lifestyle…[For those who will have negative and hostile comments, if you have to ask, "What is normal?," I'm afraid you'll never know.]
