I opened the link to find out who they're blaming this time, and whoa! How about that, gang. We're part of the saved!

It should be mandatory reading for the very people who will refuse to read it.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch, bless their tiny, shriveled hearts.

I will read it later...thanks..

Great article.

Zeroing in on one particular religious bent, my answer to students who objected to gay marriage because it was an abomination in the eyes of their church, I offered a book written by two professors at Hope College, a private Michigan college affiliated with The Reformed Church in America, a mainline Reformed Protestant denomination in Canada and the United States.

What God has Joined Together: A Christian Case for Gay Marriage by David G. Myers and Letha Dawson Scanzoni.

It was an eye-opener for many students since it explained there was only one proof in the KJV that Jesus spoke about homosexuality--the "abomination" phrase in front of the temple. THE AUTHORS proved the claim referred to the sellers of young boys and the money-lending usury charged (interest payments), not gay people OR GAY SEX. All the other references were opined and written by humans.

It's a great book, and I highly recommend it for those often finding themselves in an argument with uninformed religious freaks.

Yes, very accurate … but why’ve I the feeling they’ll simply ‘repent,’ claiming they’d sinned, or were mislead ... and thus ‘forgiven,’ then get right back to it.. I suspect their actual ‘loss’ will be the trust and respect of our youth -- who will remember these as the dark days they are … and no amount of repenting will allow religions the extent of political power they’ve recently had within the USA..

That is well written. I would also like to say that he didn't mention the protection of Priest misbehavior and the money laundering of the Vatican.

A well reasoned and well written article.

That is well said. I just don't think the audience that needs to read it is going to read it, and if they don't they won't understand.
