I think I see the root of the problem.
A while back they decided that Scripture was somehow wrong in not allowing the ordination of women.

Racist.
More a matter of which “protected group” is the bigger victim ... need those $$$ to continue to roll in. Pure victim envy on display here.
Popcorn time.
“idolatry of the Bible,” which he defines as viewing the Bible as “synonymous with God and truth.”
What is truth?
Well, there's your problem...
Whut?
Liberalism is truly a mental disease.
I see what you did there!
John 18:37 Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”
Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
38 Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all.
39 “But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Do you therefore want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 Then they all cried again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!”
To me, the basic difference with civil rights for minorities and talking about civil rights for homosexuals can be discussed in terms of what rights of people are being violated.
For example, in the Jim Crow South, blacks were discriminated against in various ways. Are homosexuals discriminated against in fundamental ways, such as being denied the right to vote, freedom of speech, public accomodations, etc. ?
The movement for homosexual marriage, to me, is not so much about someone’s civil rights as it is a movement to change the definition of marriage.
Under existing marriage laws, we all have the same rights. We are limited to opposite sex partners. We are limited to one partner at a time. We are banned from marrying certain close relatives, etc. The same standards apply to homosexuals there as anyone else.
I understand a homosexual man doesn’t want to marry a female, but he has that right.
Homosexuals are not, and have not, been discriminated against in the same manner as racial/ethnic minorities. Yet we’re being told by the liberals, the media, etc. that it is a core violation of civil rights if we don’t allow homosexual marriage.
Funny, that's what Pilate said just before he sentenced Truth (Jesus) to crucifixion.
We are all Barabbas. Guilty, imprisoned and set free because someone else died in our place.
Rue Paul?
Amen!!!

White Male Homo-type sexuals tend to have more disposable income than Food Stampers....
Well, yeah, sure. I mean it could mean nothing more than that.
Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.
Being gay is actually LESS OF A CRIME... than being democrat..

Being a Democrat is BAD on so many levels it’s ridiculous..
Being a Gay Democrat is a SLAP to the black culture.. and is bizarre..
