Homosexuals Trying to Sac Tony Dungy
Homosexual activists are upset that Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy will be speaking at a banquet next week that is sponsored by an organization that supports the definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
The activists are pressuring both Dungy and the Colts organization in an attempt to stop Dungy from speaking and receiving an award from the Indiana Family Institute.
Both the Colts and their team chaplain have spoken.
The Colts organization issued a statement saying that the coach is free to speak to any group he wishes. The statement said, “The Club does not take positions in political issues in which it is not directly involved. The Colts do not endorse any political or religious position taken by any group that any Colts employee decides to speak or lend his or her name to.”
The Colts chaplain said that Dungy has always been upfront about who he is and that Indianapolis is very comfortable with the coach and his beliefs. He said the public knows him as a man who has placed his life in God’s hands.
Jim Buzinski, co-founder of OutSports.com, which is aimed at a homosexual audience, is leading the charge saying that Indiana Family Institute is a political organization.
It isn’t.
It seems that this is becoming a pattern for those who oppose Christianity and its teaching. While claiming to only want equality, they seek to silence any expression of Christianity in the public square by embarrassing and belittling those who speak their faith. It really is a form of fascism.
So much for diversity and tolerance.

There is also a gay-activist group called Soulforce that is going around to Christian colleges to picket (including SPU & NWU).
Apparently they object to language such as Kirkland's NWU community covenant which states:
"The University will not condone practices that Scripture forbids. Such activities include occult practices, sexual relations outside of marriage, homosexual practice, drunkenness, theft, profanity and dishonesty"
They are trying to force their own morals onto Christians. Apparently they are tolerant as long as it benefits them.
As seen on some of the regular posters on this site--they claim "tolerance" while being intolerant. They claim "hate" while being hateful to a degree I don't find in the everyday individual. I saw this while working in a very liberal non-profit organization. They are tolerant as long as you aren't stable, happy, Christian, or just your every day regular Joe who doesn't happen to agree with them.
Sounds like a horible place doesn't it? It is. They were such hypocrites that I believe they played a role in my becoming a Christian.
Indian Family Institute most certainly is a political organization. As is FFN.
I think it is time you guys "come out of the closet." So to speak.
Being upset about this is like being upset if they were attending a white supremacist rally. Some organizations don't like their lead employees to do things like this - using their notoriety derived from the job for political purposes. The Colts have come out as not caring which is fine.
They are trying to force their own morals onto Christians.
You miss the point - Soulforce is Christians, and they are protesting bigotry not Christianity.
I saw this while working in a very liberal non-profit organization.
As opposed to all the hate and deception we see in organizations like the F&FN? Ha.
The problem with homosexuality is that it is redefining the law of nature and procreation. When you go against the law of nature or destroy what nature is meant to be, nature comes back with a furry. Look at what is taking place in global warming. Likewise, when the minds of humans are corrupted( i.e.,redefining marriage), the soul never experience peace!
Diversity and tolerance????
Gary - Since when have you become concerned about "diversity and tolerance"??
At best, you are judging those that engage in the same activities that you do...
I suggest that FNF is one of the greatest attackers of genuine Chrisitanity - it has chosen to flush integrity and peacemaking right down the toilet to foment its own political agenda using, among other tactics, fear - itself an anti-Christ orientation.
Lots of anti-Christ, immorality going on at FNF....too bad - it could be a force for good if you guys decided that integrity and honesty were values that should be adhered to. Jesus did...therefore, I recommend giving it a try.
Sincerely,
In Christ,
Human
The problem with homosexuality is that it is redefining the law of nature and procreation.
Hardly - homosexuality has been here since the 'laws of creation and procreation'. Nothing being redefined accepting the world the way its always been.
When you go against the law of nature or destroy what nature is meant to be, nature comes back with a furry.
Like flying in airplanes, marrying someone of another race, treating cancer, or wearing glasses goes against nature and 'destroys what nature is meant to be'?
Yeah right. What a self-serving bunch of offal.
and I don't like furries - maybe a nice ballon or bobblehead instead?

I appreciate your comment re: "redefining marriage". I humbly submit to you that marriage has been fundamentally redefined by FNF and Religionists at large in complete disregard to the the teaching of Jesus the Messiah. I elaborate below as I have done in the past.
Once again I post the following for the edification of all. As of yet, there has been no specific statement addressing Jesus' straightforward, clear-cut teaching and, therefore, it stands as the Word of God, as the genuine reflection of Judeo-Christian values.
A genuine, Biblical marriage is "that which God has joined together" (Mk 10). Jesus teaching regarding a genuine, godly marriage excludes any reference to the state. Therefore, the effort by Evangelicals to make state sanctioned rights (call them what you will) as synonymous with marriage results in the degradation of true, Godly marriage to nothing but a mere artificial creation of the state with state (vs. God) provided rights/responsibilities.
I find this, at best, distasteful and uniquely disparaging to both the institution of God as well as the humanity involved in the arrangement. To degrade marriage in the manner that it appears that FNF and Evangelical/Roman Catholics have done is really a slap in the face to God and the arrangement He created.
Therefore, the real issue is whether disciples of Jesus Christ will work to maintain the high view of marriage as put forth by Jesus Christ or the degraded view of marriage as proposed by Evangelicals and Roman Catholics. Genuine disciples will reject the states involvement in their marriages since their "yes must be yes" and their "nos must be no". Our integrity and honesty before man and God will be the glue that holds us together.
I welcome Biblically based comment on what I believe is the key issue rather than the on-going meddling in the affairs of the world (and the related dissimulation which is constantly manifest in and by those doing so) which God has specifically relegated to Himself alone (ICor5:12,13; "my kingdom is NOT of this world" - Jesus Christ; "Our battle is NOT against flesh and blood but principalities and powers" - Paul).
Sincerely,
In Christ,
Human
From Vishanti's post:
"They are trying to force their own morals onto Christians.
You miss the point - Soulforce is Christians, and they are protesting bigotry not Christianity."
No, Vishanti I just went to their website. They are not Christian and they are indeed trying to force their moral values on to Christian organizations. You are such a pathological, psychotic liar. Do you think people don't notice?
From the Soulforce website:
"Soulforce, a national LGBT social justice organization"
From Vishanti's post above:
"They are trying to force their own morals onto Christians.
You miss the point - Soulforce is Christians, and they are protesting bigotry not Christianity."
No, Vishanti I just went to the Soulforce website. They are not Christian and they are indeed trying to force their version of morality on Christians.
You are such a psychotic, pathological liar. Do you think people don't notice? Get some help--I have a feeling you are dangerous.
From the Soulforce website:

Human you are lying about being a Christian. Your posts are bizarre. Get some couseling, find a hobby, work out some to aleviate your depression and move on.
...some said He was mad....some said He has a demon...
No, Vishanti I just went to the Soulforce website. They are not Christian and they are indeed trying to force their version of morality on Christians.
You are such a psychotic, pathological liar. Do you think people don't notice? Get some help--I have a feeling you are dangerous.
Ha! Why bother lying when its so easy for anyone to check? If you went to their website you know what their mission statement is, you know who is on their board, you know their founder is the Reverend Mel White.
Your hatred has twisted you so that you can't even manage to read.
They are a religious group against spiritual violence:
Spiritual violence is the misuse of religion to sanction the condemnation and rejection of any of God’s children.
They aren't all Christians but they are people of faith - my statement stands and you are revealed as the 'pathological liar' you always are:
"You miss the point - Soulforce is Christians, and they are protesting bigotry not Christianity."
But then evil such as yours really does know no bounds of decency does it?
You are a liar OV.
I read the mission statement. There is no mention of Christ.
They are not a Christian organizaiton. They are just gay activists.
I didn't see "rev" but then remember Human was posting as Rev. D. It means nothing. People get a "rev" off the back of matchbooks.
It is not a Christian organization and you are now changing what you said. You called them Christians and now claim they aren't all Christians.
ps OV--just what part of your posing as Human don't you consider lying????? Claiming to be a Christian????
It is so easy to see through you. Sadly, I suspect you carry on thinking people don't notice. Well they do and I am certain your lying is not limited to this website.
Oh sorry, I didn't realize I was responding to the insane anonymous.
Of course I said Soulforce was 'Christians' not that it was a Christian organization. Though comprised mostly of Christian members it doesn't discriminate.
And we all know the Rev. Mel White was Jerry Falwell's ghost writer before he came out.
Sorry though - responding to the individual who bizarrely thinks Human and I are the same person just wastes bytes - rational thought obviously isn't compatible with their medication regime.
Too bad Gary doesn't turn off anonymous posting now that it only requires a Google account to post - it would cut way down on that kind of random insanity.
OV -
I must apologize to you for all the hatred and venom spewed at you by certain members of the Evangelical Right - as Jesus said, there will be many that come in His name, but they are false religionists, etc.
I hope you do not look upon Jesus' efforts as evil because some who claim to follow Him are so.
Sincerely,
In Christ,
Human
I hope you do not look upon Jesus' efforts as evil because some who claim to follow Him are so.
Oh hardly. Many of our founding fathers though the principles of Jesus and his teachings were 'sublime' whether he was divine or not and I agree.
One reason I differentiate between Christians and Christianists - people who in the name of Christ do the Devil's work.
Yeah right Human aka Vishanti.
Everyone knows you are one and the same.
Everyone knows you are one and the same.
Actually only 'anonymous, Pastor of the church of the Big Lie' does, not everyone or even any sane person.
Either you know you are lying and aren't a Christian by anyone's definition, or insane and in dire need of help.
Again, take your medication and think: what reason would there be for me to pretend to be two people when I express my opinions on religion freely as myself? Why would I argue with myself about the validity of drug use? And do you really think I would claim to be an accountant AND a 13 year veteran?! I mean I guess there are accountants in the military but really my tours were a bit more in the trenches than that - as a hint I was actually sent to Guyana after the Jonestown massacre - guess my MOS...
Vishanti, only weak people attack as vicously as you. It is very clear that you are highly disturbed and I think you know you are. Hanging out on here all day long feeds your cancerous hate which feeds your depression.
Get some counseling, learn how to make friends and form relationships, get help finding a job etc.
If you can't afford counseling, the state may be able to help you.
The answer to your problems and your low self-esteem is Christ. Since you won't listen to that get come counseling.
You have probably had some wrong things done to you in this life. You can poison yourself and others as you are on this site, or you can do something about it.
Either way, what you are doing now clearly isn't working. So you know, you are fooling no one. You definately are the same person as Human.

[b]Vishanti, only weak people attack as vicously as you. [/b]
Look in the mirror, only desperate people engage in preemptive ad hominum attacks as you've just done. Or are you the anonymous, member of the Church of the Big Lie?
[b]It is very clear that you are highly disturbed and I think you know you are. Hanging out on here all day long feeds your cancerous hate which feeds your depression.[/b]
And its very clear you aren't a Christian from that statement. Please point out where I've been the one telling someone they are a liar without a shred of proof? Or possibly you could do what the other anonymous have never been able to do - show where I have even once told a falsehood or said something that wasn't backed up by facts?
And again, just how much time do you think it takes to write these notes? I spend more time taking coffee breaks. All you need is a web spider and a computer on your desk to keep up on the comments here.
[b]Either way, what you are doing now clearly isn't working. So you know, you are fooling no one. You definately are the same person as Human.[/b]
AJD the same one claiming to be a lawyer? Obviously not a very skilled one if you can't differentiate between two very different writing styles and points of view.
But then since it does seem to be one insane person pretending to be many who writes the Church of the Big Lie notes, I guess that you are the same person.
Take your own advice - quit lying, quit trying to pretend you are more than one 'anonymous', and get some new medication - if you really had valuable opinions you would be able to support them with something other than mere opinion.
OV -
You can see the evil venom - kind of obvious - I don't even use Christianist because there is no Christ in such as Anon above.
I use religionist (perhaps Christofascist but even that is too good for this demon).
Best,
In Christ,
Human
Tony Dungy Proud to be Christian Coach
by Pete Winn, associate editor
Super Bowl coach shared his faith with the world.
Tony DungyCoach Tony Dungy made history Sunday when his Indianapolis Colts defeated the Chicago Bears to win Super Bowl XLI. He not only became the first black coach to win the NFL championship, but also the first coach to openly talk about being a Christian immediately after the victory.
During the post-game show on CBS, Dungy was asked specifically about the "social significance" of his victory.
"I'm proud to be representing African-American coaches, to be the first African-American to win this. It means an awful lot to our country," Dungy said. "More than anything . . . (Chicago Bears Coach) Lovie Smith and I (are proud) not only (to be) the first two African-Americans (in the Super Bowl), but Christian coaches showing that you can win doing it the Lord's way. And we're more proud of that."
The comment came as no surprise, however, to Curt Smith, president of the Indiana Family Institute (IFI) in Indianapolis.
"Everything we know about Tony Dungy's life -- what we know about his private life, and certainly his public life -- shows him to be a man of committed faith,'' Smith said.
He called Dungy, who works with IFI on projects defending the family, "a wonderful role model for those in public life."
"America is a culture that loves sports, and to have someone at the pinnacle of the top sport -- in terms of viewer participation -- give a clear testimony and Christian witness, I think is just remarkable," Smith said.
Dungy is fairly soft-spoken, Smith said, and doesn't yell, bully or belittle his players or anyone else. He's well-respected in the community, though homosexual activists have occasionally given him grief.
"We live in a day that when you say what you're for, all kinds of people will then start criticizing you because that will imply that you are against things," Smith said. "But Tony Dungy has done a great job of speaking out from a heart that loves Jesus Christ and saying, 'As a Christian, I'm going to come in and do the best job I can.'
"To see that work, and work at the top level of our sports society gives everyone who's trying to 'walk the talk' tremendous encouragement."
Bill Pugh, president of Athletes in Action, has known and worked with Dungy since the coach was a player and assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"It's really shooting a positive message across the bow, certainly in the NFL," Pugh said, "that you can be a Christian coach who really does live out Christian values and be very successful in terms of wins and losses."
Friday's USA Today contained a full-page ad signed by Dungy and Lovie Smith that invited readers to learn more about Jesus Christ. The ad points people to the Beyond the Ultimate Web site , (http://www.beyondtheultimate.org) which was produced in association with Athletes in Action.
"As of 4 p.m. (Sunday) the Web site had received 171,000 hits and 500 people made decisions for Christ," Pugh said. "And that was before the game had started."
Dungy will be the keynote speaker at IFI's Friend of the Family banquet in March.
"Each year, the Family Institute hosts a dinner and we present an award to a national leader who is helping to strengthen the family," Curt Smith said. "Last year, I'm proud to say, we honored Shirley Dobson, and this year we'll be honoring Coach Dungy with our Friend of the Family Award
Wow...clash of egos.
