Carved in granite - Mark Steyn

Because I'm an adopted New Hampshirite, people keep asking me what I think about the gay bishop. Once upon a time, the most famous symbol of Vermont manhood was the Old Man of the Mountain, the Great Stone Face, whose profile God and nature had etched onto the cliffs high above Franconia Notch in the White Mountains. But, after centuries of keeping a watchful eye on us, he came crashing down in an almighty rock slide a couple of months back. So now the most celebrated symbol of Granite State manhood is the Great Gay Face, the Rev. Gene Robinson. And, although I'm feeling a little gayed out these days, since folks insist on pressing me, let me say a couple of things about the Episcopal Church's and the worldwide Anglican Communion's first gay bishop.

Wow, Robinson is one sick dude.

The only people sicker are those who voted him...

Good article, thanks for posting.
I have no comment, the author says it all, and quite well too. Maybe when I've finished this coffee.

well, I know this much is true: Good always wins over evil, Love is stronger than hate, Light always shines through the darkness, and His Truth goes marching on!
(Hallelujah :o)

Once again, the gifted Mark Steyn takes aim and blows his target to smithereens.
BTTT!

This is deliciously brutal.

Robinson will have to answer for his sinfulness.

"This week he got the church to endorse not just his gayness but his narcissism. Sacramental for him, but what's in it for the church?"

That pretty well sums it up. The quotes this "bishop" made are sickening to read for anyone who understands even a little Scripture and the holiness of God. And it speaks volumes on the corruption and hypocrasy of "church" leaders.

I read somewhere the other day that the membership of the Episcopalian Church in the United States has fallen to fewer than one percent of the Christian population, making it officially a "cult" rather than a sect. Interesting.

If he's not the Second Coming...,

Nope. Not gonna go there.

[Redleg Duke]

Too bad he tripped on calling The Old Man of the Mountain "Vermont's" symbol.

Vermont, the "Queen Mountain State"!

By contrast, Canon Robinson, a proudly "practicing" gay, decided to shoot for the whole enchilada — daring the dithering nellies of his church to take not one small tentative first step but a giant leap for mankind. He had the courage of his concupiscence, and he has been rewarded for it.

Precisely right. He was rewarded for the courage [sic] of his concupiscence...
