Men of God who lie
Bishop George McKinney, Bishop Harry Jackson, and Rev. William Owens are Liars.
"Thou Shalt not bear false witness”—God
In an email (included in it’s entirety below) These men of god misrepresent Barack Obama’s position on Prop 8, implying that he is in favor of the amendment to the California Constitution. While his belief is that marriage is between a man and a woman, his position is against modifying the constitution. Clearly the men sending out the email are committing a lie of omission or misrepresentation. Then they say that same-sex couples “enjoy all the rights of married couples” under domestic partnership laws. This is simply not true. And then they imply that the democratic party is in favor of Proposition 8. Another LIE!!!.
They must know they are lying, but justify it because of their bigotry and need to impose their religious beliefs on all Californians. Apparently the end justifies the means.
Shame on them!
It make me so sad to see men that are trusted spiritual advisers, men of the cloth, men that are experts in morality, men that should be honest and forthright in their arguments, lie. There is no excuse. They should be ashamed. The issues of homophobia, bigotry, hatred and discrimination against gay people aside, I hope their beliefs about facing Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates are correct, so that they will have to atone for their LIES in this dishonest campaign. Their behavior is despicable and disgusting, and reveals their (lack of) true character.
America is on the verge of an historic election, electing the first African American president in our nation’s history. One of the most important issues on the ballot this year in California is Proposition 8, which restores the definition of marriage as being a union between a man and a woman. Here, in his own words, is how Barack Obama defines marriage:
“I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. For me as a Christian it’s also a sacred union. God’s in the mix.”
- Barack Obama
August 17, 2008Proposition 8 provides that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. Gay and lesbian Californians already enjoy the same legal rights as married spouses under California’s domestic partnership statutes. Proposition 8 doesn’t take away any of these rights.
Please join the High Impact Leadership Coalition and the Coalition of African American Pastors and other Democrats in saying Yes to Proposition 8.
Sincerely,
Bishop George McKinney
