*NEWS* FOR TODAY GUITARIST MIKE REYNOLDS: “DON'T BE DECEIVED, HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN"

Mike Reynolds, the guitarist of US Christian metal-core band, For Today, recently shared his narrow minded views about homosexuality and its religious connotations. The following quote was recently shared by Reynolds through his Twitter:
“There IS a state church being formed, there is going to be an exclusive acceptance of preachers who advocate the LGBT. Don’t be deceived, homosexuality is a sin. This sin with all other sins is what Jesus died for. He conquered so that we would be free.
No such thing as a gay Christian, the same as there is no such thing as a Christian who loves his sin. Don’t be fooled by the formation of a state church as though the government is being converted, they only use the name of Jesus for their Progressive liberal agenda.
If you are a Christian then separate yourself from this civil religion that advocates sin. Be true to God.”
