If every day a PETA member sits and eats a steak while wearing a fur coat he/she would be called a hypocrite.
If a Greenpeace idiot thinks it is ok to have a "Nuke the Gay Whales" sticker on his Volvo he would be called a hypocrite.
This man is a hypocrite and not a Christian. Christianity denotes a particular philosophy and conduct not compatible with this kind of behavior.
Anyone who falls, i.e. sins, is not automatically a hypocrite or no longer a Christian. But a person who consistantly does the opposite of what Christianity teaches is not a Christian.

Why are Episcopals no good at chess?
Because they can't tell the Bishops from the Queens.

Looks like Gene Robinson has become the leader of the "If it Feels Good Do It" sect of the "Church of What's Happenin' Now."
I was about to say that this should push the Episcopalians over the edge, but I doubt it.

This man is much less at fault than the denomination.

Exactly! For non-evangelicals, religion is nothing more than a tool to push their liberal politics on the rest of us. As a bible-believing Christian, nothing makes me sicker than to see scum like this "bishop" politicizing the word of the Lord.

Gay Anglican Bishop Says He'd Like to Marry
He should have thought of that before he went off and got himself all gay.

Robinson already has scorned God's laws--why is he concerned with man's laws?

"Robinson's consecration as bishop...threatened a rupture within the 70 million-member [Anglican] church." The rupture (unfortunately, not "the rapture") already has ocurred. The revisionist, Socialist sodomites have caused this schsim. Now we tradtional/conservative Epsicopalians are forming our own Anglican Network that is and will remain in communion with the worldwide Church.

He already did marry.
Then he left his wife and started a perverted relationship with another man.
What he needs is not marriage; it is the three R's.
Regeneration.
Repentance.
Redemption.

Openly gay Episcopal bishop.... wants to marry his male lover.... if it becomes legal.... but for now he's got enough on his plate.... says he, receiving an award from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
Surreal cannot begin to describe it.

Many excellent comments on this thread already, and a link or two.
I wonder if some Episcopalian Churches will get like the Metropolitan Community Church and have seminars in the use of electricity during sex, bondage, S&M and so on?
Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
