Then Said Jesus, Forgive Them For They Not Know What They Do. By Geniusofdespair

Gimme a break. The Christian Family Coalition wrote this press release. Scott Galvin, an openly gay Councilman took offense to giving public funds to  Pastor Jack for staging an event. Pastor Jack teachings are anti-gay. Galvin was not against the vigil, only the public funds for it. Galvin said:

"The City Council of North Miami voted last week to underwrite a Prayer Vigil for Pastor Jack.  I voted against because of his anti-gay teachings.  This Press Conference is to refute my point of view."  By the way, the title goes out to the sponsors of the press conference. Government funding of religious anything -- in my view -- is wrong. Who cares if it is a tolerant religion or not, we shouldn't be expending public funds on religious events period.

No public funds should be used for any church or religious event. These people need to use their money to have any event connected to any religion.

The City needs to use the money to reduce my taxes and provide better City services. Please remember to vote on May 14th

The majority of the North Miami city council continue to spend taxpayer money like drunken sailors. It's awful. Scott Galvin is the only council member who approaches spending taxpayer money with frugality. Thank you Scott for standing up to the right-wing religious brigade.
