Then comes the safe statement from the Salvation Army. What do you think? Will this Craibe guy get to keep his job?
The Salvation Army has been outspoken in the past, but Andrew Craibe, a Salvation Army Media Relations Director, might have taken things a step too far. Appearing on radio show hosted by journalist Serena Ryan, Craibe expressed the company's views on the LGBT community and gay parents and when asked whether gays should be put to death, his response was shocking.
"Ryan: According to the Salvation Army gay parents deserve death. How do you respond to that, as part of your doctrine?
Craibe: Well, thats a part of our belief system.
Ryan: So they should die.
Craibe: You know, we have an alignment to the Scriptures, but thats our belief.
Ryan: Youre proposing in your doctrine that because these parents are gay, that they must die.
Craibe: Well...well...because that is part of our Christian doctrine
Ryan: But how is that Christian? Shouldn't it be about love?
Craibe: Well, the love that we would show is about that: consideration for all human beings to come to know salvation
Ryan Or die?
Craibe: Well, yes.
