Christians Anti-Gay?

So today we get the shocking revelation that Christians are perceived as judgemental, hypocritical and anti gay by the 16-29 year old crowd. And we needed the Barna Group to tell us this? Didn't anyone realize that there was a slight affiliation between Mr Anti-Gay himself and the face of Christianity in America?

I heartily recommend that all the evangelicals take all the money they're going to spend on consultants that can tell them how to restyle the facade that Christianity presents to the world and just contribute half of it to the care and feeding of this blog site when they realize I have the answer to their problem.

Are you ready for it? Here it is in two part harmony:

1) Stop thumping your bibles and try reading them - homosexuality is not rated as any greater a falling away from The Creators of The Universe's loving instructions (a long and perhaps more politically correct way of saying Torah) than a whole host of things that Evangelicals are regularly guilty of.

2) Instead of pointing out other peoples difficulty in walking a narrow path, perhaps your focus should be on your own difficulty in keeping on the The Way. You wouldn't want to end up getting compared to the Pharisees after all.

While this train of thought gets me fired up to open the steamer trunks worth of baggage attached to the word sin, the better angels of my nature bid me delay.
