if this was Islam instead of Christianity and that queer said that about Muhammed, he'd be dead in less than 1 New York minute.

Jesus owned a pit bull?

Unless this bishop can prove that Jesus slipped in a few showtunes during the Sermon on the Mount and line-danced with the disciples at the Last Supper, he's got a pretty weak case.

This truly justifies the furor his appointment caused in the first place. This clown couldn't leave well enough alone. He has to go and prove his opponents right by turning his pulpit and media access into his private lavender megaphone. He has obviously become addicted to the limelight and can be expected to say the most outrageous things on at least a monthly basis from now on. You really need to read the whole piece. The good bishop just loves to spread it on thick, specially when he delights in telling his congregation how afraid he was of getting a boner in the high-school gym shower. I can just see his face as he told the story.

Be prepared to hear further regular autobiographical accounts of the erotic adventures of one Gene Robinson and his further speculations of homosexuality in scripture and the early church. He has a brilliant career as media-darling radical chic priest-in-residence ahead of him. I just wonder who is going to give him a weekly column?

Jesus was gay, Lincoln was gay, Alexander the Great was gay, just out everyone who isn't here to say otherwise. I'll play along: Hitler was gay, Pol Pot was gay, Osama Bin-Laden is/was gay.

Apropos of show tunes, I wonder when he'll have the Sunday School class put on a full production of Terrance McNally's Corpus Christi?

not nearly as shocking to me as when I read claims that Capt. Kirk and Spock are gay lovers.

We can expect that the "Jesus was an ancient astronaut" and the "Jesus was a magic mushroom" schools of Christology will be launching their book tour campaigns shortly. That should give Ronnie Howard (Opie) and Tom Hanks a lot of material to work with.

Now if they could only bring it all together, say, with some help from Harvard and Yale Divinity Schools, we could have the "Jesus was the homosexual extraterrestrial mushroom that founded the Neo-Gnostic royal dynasty of France" school and Opie will have a real winner to make a film out of.

This is what happens when people try to appease the devil. It's just plain disgusting. It's like giving the chicken hawk keys to the chicken pen.

I just wonder when the congregation will take their leave of the church and go down the street. Hopefully, it will not take too long.

Maybe when the collection plate is empty - the "church" will wake up.

Hitler most likely was a homosexual, as were most of his close associates. Try reading "The Hidden Hitler" by Lothar Machtan and "The Pink Swastika" by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams.

"I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams,
I'm as giggly as a baby on a swing,
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud,
Or a robin on the wing,
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way,
That it might as well be spring,
It might as ... well be ... Spring."

IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING (Rogers and Hammerstein)

Such a nice word spoiled by the non-breeders.

I couldn't stand to read any more.

Sick crap. Better to be an avowed atheist who never sets foot in any house of worship than to be the false lying fool that he is.

An atheist always has the chance to come to know God, plus he's not misleading other fools by exploiting God's name.

Nah, but of course this backs up the "Mary was probably a lesbian" school of thought, right? /sarcasm off

Well, there you go. You made that bed, Episcopal loonies. Now you have to live with it. (They probably don't even know the difference anymore.)

Astrud and Getz did a great job with that one.
