Controversial anti-gay author Scott
Lively has released a second book that condemns the modern gay rights
movement, calling it “evil.”
Lively's second work is titled
Redeeming the Rainbow and is available as a free download at
DefendTheFamily.com.
“How should we respond to a movement
whose fruit, the Bible warns, is a society 'filled with all
unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness
… envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters,
haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers,
without natural affection, implacable [and] unmerciful?'” Lively
writes in the book's foreword.
The “gay agenda,” Lively writes, is
an agenda to defeat Christianity, and goes on to invite readers to
discriminate against gay men and lesbians.
“[H]omosexuality involves voluntary
sexual conduct that has negative personal and social consequences.
It is perfectly reasonable and responsible to discriminate against
homosexuality on religious, moral, sociological and public health
grounds.”
Lively is the founder of Abiding Truth
Ministries, a group listed as a hate group by The Southern Poverty
Law Center, a civil rights organization that tracks hate groups in
America. A claim Lively denies.
Last year, Lively caused a stir with
publication of The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party,
in which he asserts that gays, particularly men, played a key
role in elevating the Nazi Party in Germany. He then goes on to link
the modern gay rights movement to events that took place in Nazi
Germany, arguing that gay rights are “dangerous.”
“[T]he 'gay' movement I have seen and
investigated is neither benign, nor are its members 'victims'. It is
vicious, deceptive and enormously powerful. Its philosophy is
Machiavellian and its tactics are (literally) Hitlerian,” Lively
writes.
