Gay Bishop Gene Robinson to offer prayer at Barack Obama inauguration (captions needed)
Daily Telegraph (UK) ^ | 1/11/09 | staff

Posted on 01/13/2009 5:27:19 AM PST by redstates4ever

The selection of Robinson for the opening party on Sunday came after weeks of criticism over Mr Obama's choice of conservative pastor Rick Warren to deliver the religious invocation on Tuesday, January 20, the day Mr Obama is sworn in to office.

Robinson, who is the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican Communion, will pray at the star-studded event to be broadcast on national television from the Lincoln Memorial on January 18, the inaugural committee said in a statement.

"Our intention is to root the event in history, celebrating the moments when our nation has united to face great challenges and prevail," said executive producer George Stevens, Jr.

"We will combine historical readings by prominent actors with music from an array of the greatest stars of today."

Robinson, who announced his inclusion in the event in an email to friends that was printed in part by US media, said he believed his role was an important one.

"It's important for any minority to see themselves represented in some way," Robinson said in an interview with the Concord Monitor, a newspaper in the state of New Hampshire where he worships.

He's a gay man -- he's not "upfront" about anything.

Are you suggesting he got into the clergy through the back door?

I thought he changed his first name to Vicki.

BS. To be in a leadership position and flaunt his sinful lifestyle (which the Bible clearly states is an abomination) should earn him a special place in hell. He is open and proud about his gayness, unlike the average sinner who tries to hide their sin in shame.

I am sure Lucifer is proud of him.

I have an extremely funny caption for this pic, but it would offend Catholics and others in related religions. I am severely conflicted, because I REALLY want to use the caption. But I won't. ARRRGGG!

Robinson isn’t Catholic.

Okay. I pick decent, God-fearing, heterosexual, conservative Christians.

Very friendly and outgoing man...

Enjoy.

To show appreciation a gift of KY Jelly would be a nice touch.

I noted that you pointed out his verbosity. Most homosexuals suffer from diarrhea of the mouth which no doubt has something to do with their lovemaking procedure.

You don’t know the caption. Trust me, it would offend Catholics as well. But it makes me laugh just thinking of posting it, so I know it’s very funny.

(I’ve probably offended by just posting that.)

Robinson isn’t Catholic.

He isn't Christian. He is a practicing sodomist who worships at the altar of satan.

That's not a crozier in his right hand, it's a phallic symbol.

Wonder what that guy behind him is doing?

It is my understanding that this creature will be giving a prayer, WITHOUT A BIBLE, at the Lincoln Memorial prior to the inauguration.

Go ahead Gene, mock my faith. You put on quite a show.

The orthodox Christian faithful know you are a fraud. You are one of those that Christ warned about. Learn some humility.

You can say Lord Lord, but HE will not know you.

Q:How many of Bishop Robinson's boy friends does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Just one but it takes a whole emergency room to remove it.

So how long have you been a flamer.

(It’s a joke!)

No, seriously: Do you really think that you have to be a homophobe to have a problem with a bishop perverting the word of God in order to justify a form of sensual gratification which is expressly forbidden in the bible some dozen times? Well, how about this: he’s a drug-using alcoholic who walked out on his wife and kids?

>> Not like he’s any worse than the bishops who cheat on their wives...at least he’s upfront about it. <<

Uh, he did that to.
