From Snopes:Question: Do Salvation Army full members believe, as per the Salvationist Handbook of Doctrine, that practising homosexuals should be put to death? Why, or why not? Salvation Army members do not believe, and would never endorse, a view that homosexual activity should result in any form of physical punishment. The Salvationist Handbook of Doctrine does not state that practising homosexuals should be put to death and, in fact, urges all Salvationists to act with acceptance, love and respect to all people. The Salvation Army teaches that every person is of infinite value, and each life a gift from God to be cherished, nurtured and preserved. Question: Why include in your handbook the Romans text from The Bible, which indicates that God insists that homosexuals deserve to die? This is a misunderstanding of the text referred to. The Scripture in question, viewed in its broader context, is not referring to physical death, nor is it specifically targeted at homosexual behaviour. The author is arguing that no human being is without sin, all sin leads to spiritual death (separation from God), and all people therefore need a Saviour. Question: Isn't this inherently anti-Christian, to believe people should be put to death? The Salvation Army acknowledges that the response in the interview has led to a serious misunderstanding of our teaching and that clarification should have been given during the interview. The Salvation Army believes in the sanctity of all human life and believes it would be inconsistent with Christian teaching to call for anyone to be put to death. We consider every person to be of infinite value, and each life a gift from God to be cherished, nurtured and preserved. Question: Do you feel you owe an apology or explanation to all those gay and Lesbian volunteers and people your organisation supports? The Salvation Army sincerely apologises to all members of the GLBT community and to all our clients, employees, volunteers and those who are part of our faith communities for the offence caused by this miscommunication.Read more at http://www.snopes.com/politics/sexuality/salvationarmy.asp#Ho1z5OZPm1EXVsCj.99

They are the chosen people of God, and will bring salvation to all and end Satan's 10,000 year rule over Earth.

I thought it was a dramatic enough statement to sound like it came from it.OT: I've never heard anything bad about them other than the vague rumors that people there might take things for themselves if it's nice or something, but that just seems kinda silly to me. Don't see why they'd have any bias against gay people.
I don't just believe everything I see online.
I didn't know much about them, and I haven't ever donated to them, but if these things are all true, I'd seriously consider avoiding them in the future.Yeah yeah, I know - Tumblr...http://stab-in-the-eye.tumblr.com/post/103928554759/secularhumanist2-ihatepeacocks
