Family Research Council Asks For Prayers Against Girl Scout Cookies
In a 'prayer alert' today, the Family Research Council claimed that its campaign against the Girl Scouts was working: “Their cookie sales are suffering.”
Back in January, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins told followers to boycott Girl Scout cookies because the treats allegedly fund a political agenda which includes Planned Parenthood and "promoting sexual diversity."
Although the Girl Scouts have repeatedly stated that none of their cookie sales are “given to any other group," that didn't stop Family Research Council from asking for prayers against Planned Parenthood and private organizations (Girl Scouts) that are supposedly affiliated with Planned Parenthood.
The Family Research Council prayer alert says in part:
The Girl Scouts, whose leadership has been collaborating with Planned Parenthood for years, have found out and their cookie sales are suffering. This is very sensitive for the Scouts. The Scouts had better confess their errors and make a clean break while they can. Yet Planned Parenthood doesn't let its captives go easily.
May Congress expose and defund Planned Parenthood and may private organizations refuse to submit to shakedowns by Planned Parenthood and others in the abortion advocacy industry. May the Pro-life Majority grow in America until abortion has been abolished (Ex 23:2; Dt 21:1-9; 2 Kg 24:2-4 Pr 20:11; 24:11-12; Mt 27:4-6; Eph 5:11-14).

FRC asking people to pray against cookie sales.
Wow. What a baffling display of nutbaggery.
That's great your doing something worthless, like praying.
You could be out discriminating against someone you dislike. Which is most of mankind.

"....which includes Planned Parenthood and "promoting sexual diversity."
Hmm....."promoting sexual diversity".
Am I mistaken or is this jack@ss Perkins publicly promoting racism?
They sure do love to use obscure and not directly related bible verses and try to force their religion on others. Sad when you think about the fact that Christianity was originally a religion of peace, love and tolerance and the Christo-fascists have turned it into a religion of hate, intolerance, domination and control.
The worst part is that they are too stupid to even realize it. I plan on buying GS cookies, And loudly advertise the fact, just to piss off the Christo-fascists.
This American warrior Wiccan, will gladly stand up to protect this nation from the tyranny of fascist religion, of any sort.
The insanity principle is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. The far right, the far left, vegans, creationists and other extremists believe in the insanity principle, religiously.
@Raptorcat: Christianity was never about peace, its always been about conflict, discrimination, hate and war.
Chuck
There are many of us Christians who do still promote love and peace. You just hafta look for us. :) Sadly it's the bible-thumping extremeists that make good Christians look bad.
@no name: yeah you'll find all the peaceful Christians in the grave yard.
Chuck
That's a very sad way of thinking and I hope you become less cynical in the future.
Why is that a sad way of thinking, christian terrorists kill Doctors in the US on a routine basis.
They are now posting wanted posters in North Carolina with Doctors pictures , names and address's. Do you approve of this activity?
Terrorism by the Christians is an under reported subject.
Chuck
Of course I don't approve, but you're generalizing all of us by looking at the actions of a few whackos. We are not all like that. Not even the majority are like that regardless of what the media says.
