N.T. Wright is the Anglican Bishop of Durham (UK) and today he wrote an op/ed for the London-based Times on the subject of The Episcopal Church voting to allow the appointment of active homosexuals to all forms of ministry. He says that “support by US Episcopalians for homosexual clergy is contrary to Anglican faith and […]
It’s not going to surprise any regular readers of this site that I think homosexual relationships are sinful. It might surprise you that I don’t think they should be illegal.
I think the government should stay out of our lives as much as possible and those sins that only do serious harm to those who are […]
The brouhaha over President-Elect Obama’s choice of Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in Forest Lake, CA, and author of The Purpose Driven Life, to give the invocation at his inauguration is mind-boggling to me. Because he supported Proposition 8, he in the minds of the homosexual community, is unfit to pray. Ok then. Same […]
More tolerance and diversity from the left: AntiGayBlacklist was created to out people who supported the California Proposition 8 that undid the California Supreme Courts creation of same-sex marriage — no doubt so they can be punished appriately.
For years conservatives told ourselves that the liberal hysteria over the 2000 election was due to their perception […]
There’s been wide-ranging reaction to California’s proposition 8 being passed with overrules the California Supreme Court by providing state constitutional protections for traditional marriage. Similar measures were passed in Arizona and in Florida, both by a wider margin than California.
I think for some in the homosexual community this isn’t just about "civil rights" (one […]
It’s not going to surprise anyone that I was glad to see California’s Proposition 8 pass. Besides my feelings about same-sex marriage (SSM), I wanted to see the voters thumb their nose at the activist and anti-democratic California Supreme Court.
Now that the people have spoken, opponents of Prop 8 are turning to … the courts.
If […]
I am continually struck by how strongly I can affirm, respect and agree with someone one day and then just be blown away by something the next. John Mark Reynolds is a brilliant philosopher and I often read even his political works knowing that they will contain wisdom and insight that many other “conservative” writers […]
I do not want to keep posting about Sally Kern, but stuff keeps happening. Now there is a “Free Speech Rally for Sally” being organized. Keep in mind that I am an evangelical christian, but this is nonsense. I agree with 98% of what she has said, but the 2% makes her unsupportable.
Her remarks and […]
I am an evangelical christian living in the State of Oklahoma. State Representative Sally Kern recently compared the homosexual agenda to terrorism, saying that the agenda is more of a threat than radical Islam or terrorism. There are several posts the SundaySchoolThoughts blog that I have made on the subject. Before going […]
Thought you guys might like to hear the interview I did with Gabe Lyons, co-author of the new book UnChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity… and Why It Matters . Gabe and I discussed how Christians are often perceived as being judgmental, hypocritical, anti-homosexual, and too political.

Please help me figure this out:
ROTC has been banned from Columbia University because of the “Don’t ask, don’t tell,” policy of the military, which is the policy only because the civilian government (under President Clinton), mandated it.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been invited to speak at Columbia even though he recently had two persons in […]
This clip is getting a lot of hits on YouTube and Technorati. It’s obviously been brought out to highlight positions taken by Mr. Romney in his 1994 senatorial race against Ted Kennedy, positions that appear to be at variance with some of the things he’s saying now as he attempts to garner support from the […]
I got it right. Now you guess.
Very sad:
The Rev. Ted Haggard resigned as president of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals on Thursday after being accused of paying a man for sex in monthly trysts over the past three years.
Haggard — an outspoken opponent of the drive for gay marriage — also stepped down as senior pastor at his 14,000-member […]
This is the interesting part of that poll:
Most blacks oppose gay marriage: Two-thirds of all blacks, and about the same amount of black likely voters, oppose allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally.

As a passionate follower of Christ, are you telling me that it does not matter?
Everything is political. While the governator vetoed these bills I am under no illusion as to why, because most people were against them. He does bring up important points:
Schwarzenegger said he vetoed AB 606 because it was “irresponsible” to create a new state mandate on schools, and he noted that existing laws already deal with […]
Recently I was thinking about a problem in our culture that is clearly evident, but yet rarely discussed. This problem manifests itself at some point in all of our lives, and we do everything to avoid the problem because we don’t directly want to address the problem. The problem I’m speaking of is comfortlessness. Comfortlessness […]
I’ve been re-reading Mere Christianity lately and this morning got to the chapter in which Lewis discusses Christian marriage. It strikes me that bears more than a little relevance to current discussions over whether gay marriage should be sanctioned by the states and whether the federal government ought to institute a “defense of marriage” act.
Writes […]
I have been reading through the dialogues going on at RedBlueChristian recently, and I found the issue of homosexuality being discussed in the context of civil rights interesting. So, I thought I would throw a question out there for some comments.
Is homosexuality a special civil rights issue?
US News and World Report has an interesting article on the backlash to the homosexual agenda when they tried to get legalized marriage rights through the courts. People don’t like laws to be formulated through the courts. I believe this is a reason (along with ethics) so many states are revising their constitutions to define […]
In his interview with Beliefnet, Tony Campolo presents his view on homosexuality.
1. Based on Romans chapter one, he rejects homosexuality (same-gender eroticism) as a Christian lifestyle.
2. People do not choose to be homosexual.
3. We do not know what causes homosexuality. He rejects both the inborn and socialization (bad father image etc) […]
Ninth Circuit Court issues another lollapalooza!
The Ninth Circuit Court (the most reversed federal appellate court in the system) has told young people all over the country they can protest other people’s viewpoints as long as their view is in line with popular liberal views; if not, they cannot!
A student who wore a T-shirt condemning homosexuality […]
There has been the argument that the legalization of same sex marriage would open the way for polygamy. It seems that these fears have been justified. John P. George writes concerning the beyondmarriage.org movement:
For years, critics of the idea of same-sex “marriage” have made the point that accepting the proposition that two persons of […]
Posted in the: It might happen here someday too department.
A Canadian professor has been fined two weeks pay by a Nova Scotia university for telling a student that homosexuality is an unnatural lifestyle. But despite the disciplinary measures imposed against the educator, he says he refuses to succumb to the administration’s “intimidation.”Cape Breton University (CBU) […]
Westboro Baptist Church is known for their radical stance on the gay agenda. This is the group that pickets military funerals saying the troops were killed because the US is pro gay.
Missouri and other states enacted legislature barring picketing near funerals. The ACLU says that this infinges on free speech. Unfortunately whenever the ACLU is […]
The battle concerning whether or not a person is “born gay” has heated up once again with some very creative marketing. Regardless of which side you land on, it’s interesting to note that in this latest marketing campaign to see the humor with which both sides defend their relative positions.
An organization calling itself “Born Different” […]
