I’m sorry, but no one who works at a Frisco newspaper has any right to talk about morality...

Well, you're just plain wrong. (As in not right)

Biblically, we have a "prime-time" example. Lot.

Surely you've heard of Sodom and Gomorrah. "San Franciscos" of ancient history.

Lot lived there.

Now what did the apostle Peter have to say about Lot's "testimony" re: Sodom:

4 For if God ...
(v. 5): did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. (2 Peter 2:4-9)

Lot, a Sodomite resident without being a Sodomite as we have come to define the term, was righteous. Lot was "tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard."

How do you know there's not a very small remnant of the righteous living in San Francisco...enough to fulfill Abraham's bargain in Genesis that if God can find "X" # of people living in a city, He won't destroy it?

SF is still on the map...which tells me there's still a few there who not only "have a right" to speak on morality...but having experienced so much tormentable immorality...are even greater authorities on the subject.

So stop exporting such nonsense.
