"And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell." -- Matthew 5:30Perhaps that is exactly what Alan has done by casting his daughter out of the household.
"Perhaps that is exactly what Alan has done by casting his daughter out of the household."
Perhaps. That or he's just a jerk. What's interresting about this whole debate is the lack of focus on Alan's sins. Does his daughter cast him out for his sins? Does his wife? Or is the only sin worthy of being "cast out for" (if it is a sin) is homosexuality?
I think there's a lot of hollier-than-thouness going on in our society. Plenty of people standing in line to cast the first stone.
