Well, I agree with the last seven words, but not the second and third. (c8
In other words, I utterly and without hesitation believe there is hope for Andrew Sullivan, as for all sinners. Paul specifically says that the Corinthian church included people who had been, among other things, homosexuals, before being cleansed, redeemed, and justified by Christ through His work on the Cross (1 Corinthians 6).
This article, however, gives me no hope that Mr. Sullivan is about to avail himself of that freeing grace, however. He does not regard his homosexual behavior as a sin, of which he must repent, for which he must be forgiven, and from which he must be set free. He's proud of his God-defying sin, embraces it, flaunts it, cloaks it in religious language.
No, while W saw his drunken behavior as a sin-pattern from which he needed deliverance, Sullican sees his sexual perversity as a blessing for which he needs acceptance and toleration.
Chasmic difference, there.

I know that there IS hope for Andrew, if he chooses to accept it. What struck me about the article was how impressed he seemed to be over President Bush's complete lifestyle change, which made me think that perhaps one day he might choose to make one of his own.
