Political Cortex: Brain Food for the Body Politic

These rabble-rousing dissenters at the Convention openly criticized the vote, as well as the board's charge to work on a written policy to exclude homosexuals.  Rob Helton objected,  "If we write a policy, it seems only fair and right that we write a policy on every sin in the Bible."

(Uh oh.  How dare he point out the obvious hypocrisy?)

File continued:

"I just think it's also a horrible lesson to have for your children--having your children in a church that says `these' people are not welcome.  Basically, they are telling them they should also not be welcomed in your house or as your friend.  There's enough prejudice and bigotry out there, we don't need a church to preach it."

But Darryl Waissner, a gay former Baptist, pinpoints the ultimate foolishness of this action:

"This group has only alienated itself from people.  God is till in control and has never once stopped loving us for who we have been created to be."

Ever heard such nonsense?  Why, listening to them, you'd think those controlling the Convention weren't Christians.

As sad as it may be, these church leaders probably do have a list--but not one you'd like to be on.  We can only hope that there's also a latter-day Oscar Schindler in their midst.
