The most disgusting, disturbing news footage of the month was the strangely effeminate supporter of Robinson's, in a clerical collar, reading a statement at the conference saying homosexuality was a blessing and a gift from God. We are doomed.

Watch out all you heterosexual guys out there who are just dying to have gay sex,The Bishop of Maryland doesn't approve.

Unbelievable!!! This is the type of convoluted reasoning I haven't heard since my kids were teens and I asked them why they were so late getting home.

[sojourner]

Paul isn't objecting to homosexual men having sex with each other, just heterosexual men having sex with each other.

Hmmmm. The way I read scripture, God created male and female, not hetero-, homo-, bi-, etc.

Technically, I don't think there is any such thing as a "homosexual" -- we are men or women who act in ways that please or displease God. And I think God has made it adequately clear what is pleasing and what is displeasing to him regarding sex.

NOPE they are doomed. He is a lagging indicator.

[Malesherbes]

Brilliant, as usual.

[Deb]

Whew!

[Spok]

Well said.

I can't really see how the Episcopal church can refuse to sanctify same sex marriage now. I mean, if sodomy is a sacrament, can there be salvation for us poor straight guys???

[onedoug]

Thanks, Pokey.

Why Judaism Rejected Homosexuality

[Petronski]

We are doomed.

Well, we might be doomed. They are doomed.

Mark Steyn nails it exactly - NARCISSISM!

[sirchtruth]

...In the time that we have, I can't go into all the theology around it, but what I can tell you is that in my relationship with my partner,...

The reason this pansy can't go into the "Theology" around it is because he knows quite well that he has to bend, twist, and fabricate the interpretation of sripture. There just is no supporting premise whatsoever for homosexuality. In FACT it is just the opposite:

An abomination to the Lord.

Mark Steyn nails it exactly - NARCISSISM!

"The essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind."

C.S. Lewis - Mere Christianity

[Tax-chick]

"I just need to tell you that I experience that with my partner."

I just didn't need him to tell me that, especially right after supper. Bleah!

[Deb]

You're assuming God will pick them out. I'm afraid he'll just nuke us all and start over.

[Petronski]

God will be much more selective, I think. After all, he has the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
