Bishop Gene Robinson wants to wed a man?

“The table that God invites us to includes everyone, and the church is going to get it wrong sometimes,” Robinson said. “I think the Archbishop of Canterbury has gotten this wrong by not inviting everyone. I’m going to go and offer myself and talk with anyone who wants to talk to someone who is unashamedly gay and unashamedly Christian.”

What the fuck is up with that?

What's next, inviting pedophiles to this imaginary table because God "told him to"? It seems as if anything is justified within the often obscured realms of modern religion as long as God picked up his spiritual telephone and gave someone a "calling". This is exactly the reason people like me are sceptics. If regular people hear voices encouraging them to commit offendable acts they are usually prescribed prozac or confined to a padded cell.

The bishop's ability to take excerpts from the Bible and give it a modern twist to suite his dubious agenda is frightful at best. Surely anything can be justified by the use of the Bible as it's open to interpretation, but the Bible clearly states that men who lie with other men are sinners: (Leviticus 18:22) Geneva Bible (1560): "Thou shalt not lie with ye male as one lieth with a woman: for it is abomination." Gene Robinson even managed to successfully make the entire Bible sound like a gay mag by stating "The Bible is the story written by us about our love affair with God."

Some people argue that it's the content of a man's character that is judged and not his sexual orientation, dare I ask in which context the concept "man" is used and how and by whom its ethical content is being measured? Succumbing to the temptations of the world is not a manifestation of the strength of one's character, but rather a weakness of the flesh and a lack of will-power required to keep to the narrow path.

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,

Jesus loves you more than you will know.

God bless you, please Mrs. Robinson.

Heaven holds a place for those who pray,

Hey, hey, hey
