Sionnsar, thank you for this article.

Vicky Gene Robinson as a "Beacon of hope" ... unbelievable, and yet this thesis strikes me as so dead on target it is a shock.

To the others I pinged from the recent evo debates, one of the big sidebar arguments has been in regards to evolution and how fair/unfair it has been to link the gay agenda to evolution. This article is worth a good look.

Here is the point. Gene Robinson was elected Bishop of the Episcopal Church in New Hampshire not in spite of being Gay, not as an act of toleration and compassion toward Gay people, but because he is Gay and as such is an icon of the successful completion of the quest to find the true and original self. He has been chosen for high religious office because he represents high religious attainment. He is being recognized and receiving regard for being an accomplished practitioner of the American Religion. According to this Gnostic logic divorcing his wife and leaving his family to embrace the Gay lifestyle is not some unfortunate concession to irresistible sexual urges but an example of the pain and sacrifice that the seeker of the true self must be willing to endure.

In other words, the guy's got a happy home, a wife who loves him, children, a dog and cat and all favor both in heaven and on earth, and lacking Satan or anything else like that to persuade the Lord to try him in any special sort of way like Lot, goes and reads up on Mein Kampf and the Origin of the Species, and walks away from everything to be a queer thinking he's improving himself. That's amazing.
