Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly
homosexual bishop of his denomination, has angered
traditionalist Anglicans by suggesting that Jesus
Christ might have been homosexual.
Robinson, who left his wife – and mother of his two
daughters – to cohabit with his male lover, Mark, made
his inflammatory remarks during an address
titled, "Homosexuality and the Body of Christ: Is There
a New Way?" at Christ Church of Hamilton and Wenham,
Massachusetts. The bishop was asked by a congregant how
Christians could both accept homosexuality and the
Bible's emphasis on redemption for sins.

why does this sunofabitch get any print at all?
And poor Mary Magdalen. [irony]
Maybe Opie can makes some changes to the Tom Hanks' Da Vinci Code Film. Apparently Ron Howard and Tom Hanks both have some experience in this area. Are Don Knotts and Jim Nabors still alive, by any chance? What about Floyd, Goober, and Otis?
In a country where an openly treasonous "professor" (and one who earned his "credentials" through cheating and plagarism) receives $100K a year from a state university...
in a country where local, state and federal judges have all ruled that it is against the law for a mother to give water to her thirsting daughter...
in a country where foreign nationals plotting to murder us all are accorded not only all the rights of the US constitution, but rights that aren't even in the constitution...
in a country where people who break the immigration laws are rewarded with drivers licenses...
in a country where at least some localities have legalized gay marriage...
in a country where an organization like NAMBLA is permitted to exist...
in a country like that, why are you a bit shocked or suprised that a "reverend" publicly proclaims the "homosexuality of Jesus"?
There's nothing shocking in this country anymore. If it's stupid, immoral, against children, against public safety or otherwise outlandish, not only will it be done, but it will be praised by a doting leftist press.
The Episcopal Church of the United States deserves every bit of trouble they get over this guy.
The irony to the situation is because of the church, over the last 1600 years, discrediting and downplaying Mary Magdalen's relationship with Jesus, they leave themselves open to these types of, 'Jesus was gay', arguements.
Personal, I think Jesus was a hetrosexual.
I can't tell you the drunks who called me 'Barney' when I was in law enforcement. Their favorite saying to all policemen.
The Episcopals.... that's that group wot was a religion once, right?
Otis as the self-loathing drunk in-the-closet homosexual? I can see it now. Of course, there would definitely have to be a wardrobe change. Perhaps Versace.
Together with Floyd, no doubt, the barbershop was the headquarters for the pedophile ring in Mayberry. Even as a child, I was terrified by Floyd.
bttt
Give em enough rope.
I hope the good folks in the church are able to reverse this error and remove this fellow.
This could wake em up.
Goober was the one who made me uneasy. Always
expected dueling banjos when he appeared.
There is NOTHING sacred to those of G. Robinson's persuasion. Absolutely Nothing.
There's a special place in hell...
