He said he will not use the Bible as his text, saying:

"While that is a holy and sacred text to me, it is not for many Americans," Robinson said. "I will be careful not to be especially Christian in my prayer. This is a prayer for the whole nation."

Truly a man fit for the task.

It doesn’t matter to me. I won’t be listening, watching or in any way participating in the “festivities”. Perversion and apostacy is clearly OK with this incoming administration.

I think he was misquoted here. He is part of the “hole nation”.

Never play chess with an Episcopalian - they can’t tell a bishop from a queen.

Not smart. Instead of being seen as inclusive, he’s going to wind up offending everybody.

“This is a prayer for the WHOLE nation..”

But...”my great honor to be there representing ....all of us in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.”

A contradiction: “The whole nation” = 100%; The queer crowd = 2% of “the nation”.

It is encouraging that the president-elect has chosen this spiritual hero for all Americans

Hell and Death, this is bad.

Wickedness, perversion sponsored by the "president" of the United States; Obamessiah demonstrates his true "spiritual" colors.

America has turned her back on Christ and God is turning His back on us.

His birth name, the one given to him by his parents was "Vicki Gene Robinson".

I once met a man named "Precious".

I’ve met “Bishop” Robinson a couple of times, years ago. Apparently, when he was born, he wasn’t expected to survive more than a few hours... His parents had only decided on a name for a girl... “Vicki Imogene”! That’s where he gets “Gene Robinson”. He used to be a guest minister in St. Barths, at the Anglican Church in Gustavia. When the Bishop of Antigua found out that he was on the island with his “friend” Mark, he was told never to return!

Someone else posted something funny...”Never play chess with an Episcopalian... the can’t tell a Bishop from a Queen!”

So true...

I thought the exact same thing.

It is incredible to me that Bishop Gene identifies more with his "GLBT" base than with Jesus!

I will be careful not to be especially Christian in my prayer.

No danger of that since he isn't one anyway!

Robinson: I will be careful not to be especially Christian in my prayer

Paul the Apostle (Romans 1:16): For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation

Luke the Apostle (Luke 9:26): If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
