Supreme Court rules in favor of gay marriage

Trolling? Yes.

Christians? I doubt it. If so, they're in need of deep repentance and a remedial class in humility.

Let's be clear about what you're seeing from my sincere Christian brothers and sisters: Sorrow and dismay that the world is less comfortable for them. They'll have to choose their words better. The conversations with their kids will be harder. They may even have to rethink their positions on other social issues. They're looking at a generation of young Christians ready to embrace gay relationships because, let's face it, the gay rights movement runs on the same "God wants people to be happy" prosperity gospel that older Christians have used to justify all kinds of anti-Jesus BS. I've seen CEOs bathed in Jesus-platitudes devastate communities and families by slashing jobs and moving plants to other countries because they can't bear to communicate the gospel to the ravenous shareholders. How's that different? Spiritually it isn't; we Christians are not taught in Sunday school that American capitalism trumps the gospel.

The truth is we really don't stand for that much, and what some of us do stand for just comes right-wing media/new-age GOP that co-opted Christianity in the 1980s.

 

There's also abortion and women's rights.
Given the current President's positions on these issues, I don't see how the "He's a secret Muslim." crap makes any sense to anybody.

 

It's a great bullshit story. A great bullshit story written thousands of years ago that is verifiable through no one. All of your sources are dead. As reporters, current and former, I would think this would stick out to some of you.

 

Since I'm a Christian, obviously, I disagree with this assessment.

It is an extraordinary story, covering the full spectrum of life. The deeper you dive in, the more fascinating/compelling it becomes.

 

If we use your criteria, Tony, the republican presidental candidates are more sympathetic than Obama to radical Islam because of their views on gay marriage and abortion.

 

Write Thinking has a problem with homosexuals but no problem with a Duggar diddling children.

 

She didn't have to look at that in public.

 

Write Thinking is Mike Huckabee?

 

Well most gays don't tithe and the Duggars do so.....

 

Ah yes, the Right Reverend Alma can always be counted on for some addlepated social gospel. Of course Jesus would have been a protectionist! Why, he was clearly arguing against free trade when he laid out his parable of the shrewd manager.

The shrewd manager: Alma's kind of CEO.

 

A lot of things people do bother me. That doesn't mean I use those feelings as an excuse to limit their rights under the law.
