Another point in all this is Robinson knew this would tear the church apart. How "godly" can a man be who puts his ambition and desires above the church and above God's law? I think Robinson is selfish as well as gay, neither trait would I like to have in my parish priest.

You're absolutely right -- it's all about him. Just like Clinton.

What part of "NO" don't gay sympathisers understand?

So now it isn't only the gays we are supposed to condemn,
but those who don't condemn them.  McCarthy was a piker
compared to the religiously convinced.

I saw a guy walking out of an Epioscopal church carrying a Queen James bible. Hadn't seen one before. Rainbow on the cover too.

Do you really understand the issue?

An Episcopal priest who wrote an article sympathetic
to the church's confirmation of an openly gay priest as a bishop resigned

John Merchant was condemned for his failure to condemn
the gay priest.  Actually, he was condemned for writing his
opinion.  Apparently this was a big mistake.  But this just
reiterates what I originally said, doesn't it?

Let's run the WayBack machine.

I said

So now it isn't only the gays we are supposed
 to condemn, but those who don't condemn them.

In other words, 'gay sympathisers', ie those who
fail to condemn gays, will be condemned for failing
to say NO.   What part do you feel I misunderstand?

He didn't "fail to condemn." He wrote an article clearly in support of the apostatic ordination of Robinson as bishop.

I can't speak for others; however, I bear no animosity toward Robinson because of his sexual orientation. My problem is that his becoming a bishop is contrary to Biblical law. Thus I also have a big problem with the Bishop of the ECUSA, without whose support - for Robinson as bishop of New Hampshire - this situation would not have developed.

Sounds like failure to condemn to me.
