Equality Riders seek to undermine biblical truth on campuses

Last year, Covenant College in Georgia offered an agreement with Equality Riders which would allow them to “dialogue” with key personnel with restricted access to the campus. Equality Riders rejected the agreement and Covenant College subsequently rescinded its visitor agreement. Read the letter sent by Covenant to alumni.

“We repeatedly asked that Soulforce accept our hospitality and respect our expectations by signing the Letter of Agreement. Equality Ride officials stated that, while they would agree to not enter residence halls or distribute literature, they would not agree to only meet with designated people in a designated room; they want unsupervised access to roam the campus and meet with any student or community member. Because the Equality Ride officials have chosen not to accept our offer, we are considering not allowing them on our campus. We regret that they have chosen this course of action.”

The truth, as Covenant College stated (and learned), is that the Equality Riders don’t want so-called dialogue with people who are able to dialogue back with them on equal footing. They want to spray their false equality venom into the minds of students who are not ready for their overbearing techniques. This is because their worldview is anti-bible even though they claim to be Christian AND non-violent.  While Soulforce disengenously claims to be non-violent, it brands Christian schools that require students to abstain from all forms of sexual immorality –including homosexuality– as “spiritual violence”. Read how Soulforce and its allies define “spiritual violence”.

SAFE urges all schools on the target list to alert alum and parents to these tactics designed to lure Christian students into homosexual sin.

  1. I’ve resisted responding to anything that has been posted here because it feels terribly one-sided.

    Did you contact the Equality Ride organization about their intentions on this campus? I know that you think that you are telling the “untold truths” but in fact the truth you tell is the one given by the administrators at this school.

    The only way to decipher the truth is to have both sides of the story in front of you and pray on it.

    Also, your website sorely misrepresents people of Color. I would check with Spelman College and Morehouse College before you link to them from here. Its obvious that your organization is not anti-racist or especially inclusive to people of Color and their history within the Church.

  2. Actually, Safelove have presented the views of Soulforce here. If you pay attention, they showed a link to their website, where they explain what spiritual violence is. Here is the both side of the story, in front of you.

    Soulforce often relies on that link. They blame Christians who openly speak about the sinfulness of homosexual behavior, for the gay kids committing suicide. The view that gay kids kill each other in large numbers across the country is nothing but a slanderous left wing propaganda, and it is being used by radical homosexual activists like Soulforce to shut Christians up. Actually, numerous studies show that gay kids commit suicide nor less than straight kids, and the numbers are exaggerated.

    And how is this website misrepsenting people of color? By saying that being black is not the same thing as being gay?

    Can you point me to these studies??

  4. “Conservative Christian”, I’m also very interested in seeing these studies you speak of.

    One example of how this website is misrepresenting people of Color (you might be comfortable saying “minorities”)is by ignoring that there are students of Color riding on that bus. The civil rights movement is definitely theirs to continue.
    I can promise you that the one person at Liberty University sitting behind his computer composing all this is white.

  5. Hi Lilita,

    Just for the start, check this out:
    http://www.traditionalvalues.org/urban/five.php

    Or this article from USA Today, dealing on homosexuality in general:
    http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-02-07-gay-teens-cover_x.htm

    “Gay kids are more likely than straight teens to think about or try suicide, but there’s no evidence they’re more likely to kill themselves, says sociologist Stephen Russell of the University of Arizona. He has analyzed findings from a study of 12,000 teens followed up to a decade so far.”

    So, what if the people who are behind this computer are black, what is your point? I went to a Christian school, whom Soulforce visited 2 years ago, and I knew a bunch of Black and Hispanic students there who did not appreciate that the Equality Riders were putting on the same board their experience of racial discrimination, with the biblical rejection of homosexuality.

  6. Correction: I wanted to say in my latest post, So what if the people who are behind this computer are white? What is the point?

    I hope, now, it makes more sense.
