I have some sympathy for Christians who feel they have to prove Christianity supports sexualities outside of the heteronormative. I don't believe the faith and practices of Jesus are homophobic, but I do believe that Christianity - the bundle of 2000 years of tradition and scholarship - is homophobic.<br /><br />Speaking of bundles - do you think, CC, that Sara is expecting one? Hmmm!!! Either that, or she was wearing a really hideous shirt she didn't want Grissom to see. <br /><br />This fall was the first time I ever watched CSI (the original - and the bes) consistently. And wow - what a great season it has been! I picked the right time to move into a household with On Demand! <br /><br />Is the season over? Or will it be on next week with a new episode?<br /><br />Right now, CSI and House Hunters are the two shows I watch!<br /><br /><br /><br />Also, don't you think something is up with Sara? Hmm. A little bundle of joy perhaps?LaReinaCobrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554970165949410961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-7951446943364431252007-01-06T00:12:00.000-05:002007-01-06T00:12:00.000-05:00Joel -- It's propaganda that makes people believe ...Joel -- It's propaganda that makes people believe that only the very right-wing bible literalists are "the Christians". Propaganda may be written by some back-room guys, but it's propagated by the corporate media. News media have been very complicit in spreading the impression that the christianists are the Christians. <br />Beyond that, the reference to "Consumer Hedonists" is from a sermon by Doug Muder.

Love thy neighbor as thyself.<br /><br />With that kind of teacher and leader, personally, I cannot see how one could not support same sex marriage and be a Christian.<br /><br />As far as Pagan-phobes, that is what they are after all, afraid of a faith they do not understand.

I can't quite see how one can square those things.<br /><br />Now, my experience with Christian Churches, was they had plenty of Gays.... the same guys who would exclude my Church from the Community Council of Churches because we weren't Christians.<br /><br />I never called them Pagan Phobics over it.Bill Baarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095486926836836714noreply@blogger.com
