Last week, we noticed Tony Perkins blaming the current financial crisis on a “breakdown in the family” and the idea that social issues are somehow behind our current economic woes seems to be gaining traction among the Right.
Today, Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel blasted Google’s opposition to California’s Proposition 8 by declaring that it will hurt their bottom line and cited WaMu and Wachovia, which both failed recently, as evidence:
“Google should focus on technology instead of warring against marriage and family values held by the majority of people worldwide,” said Mathew Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel and dean of the Liberty University School of Law. “Marriage between a man and a woman is the norm throughout the world. Google executives should be searching for ways to make the Internet more usable rather than promoting a radical redefinition of marriage.
“Companies that promoted anti-family policies have learned the hard way that such policies are bankrupt,” Staver continued. “K-Mart learned its lesson several years ago. Washington Mutual and Wachovia, both of which actively promoted the homosexual agenda, have come to realize that anti-family policies will bankrupt the bottom line.”
Maybe instead of fighting over a bailout of Wall Street, Congress should just outlaw the homosexual agenda, since that is obviously what is causing our current economic panic.
But OneNewsNow informs us that there is some good news to come out of all the chaos:
A well-known pastor and author says the current economic crisis facing the United States should be a wake-up call for Americans to turn to Christ.
Dr. Charles Stanley is pastor of First Baptist Church of Atlanta, Georgia, and founder of In Touch Ministries. He says there is no question that America needs a spiritual awakening — and he believes the ongoing economic woes could cause some in the country to turn to the God of the Bible.
“When God gets a hold of Americans’ money — whatever messes with our money gets people’s attention, but we need enough heartache that drives us to God,” Dr. Stanley contends.
Now if only Congress would start listening to the Religious Right instead of all those egghead economists and just get Americans to turn to Christ, stop having abortions, and defeat the homosexual agenda, all of our economic problems would be solved.
