Smearing her thumb across 6-year-old Genevieve Daltons forehead, the Rev. Robin Anderson repeated the solemn words of Ash Wednesday: From dust you came. To dust you shall return.

Most of us go from ashes to ashes.
They go from glitter to glitter!
I’m sorry, I’m chuckling my fool head off. And I’m a Christian.

Ex-LGBT Christians are the only way to go.

LGBT first and Christian last, so which would they give up first?

Yeah they are...once a year during Fag day in our parish. The poofters make a lot of fuss during mass and disappear for the rest of the year when “normal” mass occurs.

Christians can, and do, struggle with temptations.
But Christians are not to celebrate temptations. Much less embrace them.
Such as these make Christ worse than useless.

The Rev. Robin Anderson is a Baptist. I didn’t know Baptists did Ash Wednesday. Maybe she started doing it when she discovered it was a way for her to make a statement.

You win the gay internet.
(Chuckling my fool head off, because no we had no such agreement. Rather I think you sound rather LGBTish. I’ve seen how such folks act and it is quite mirrored in your manner.)
Maybe some day you will believe on the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ rather than in Max Americana (really Min Americana) pride!!

What the heck do they teach in seminary these days? The point of Ash Wednesday is to remind us of our mortality and the limitations of our nature - we end up as ash, not as glitter. Do they provide unicorns with their rainbows?
