Gay Bishop.

Okay I said it, now why do you care? More importantly, why do I care? Because you see gentle readers, I spent the first 15 years of my life as an Episcopalian, this is before of course I knew that church could be more than standing, kneeling, praying, singing, praying, kneeling, standing, kneeling...etc. in unison. Then I wised up, went evangelical, and the rest is history. My family still attends the Episcopal Church in my hometown. Though I don’t know for how long after this debacle.

Now I'm not going to go all theological on you...oh wait...yes I am.

If you as a church base your beliefs on the bible, which you believe to be the word of god, in which it is clearly stated that homosexuality is wrong ("let no man lay with another man, or woman with another woman") thus logically you believe that God says homosexuality is wrong. So it’s not a very good idea to have a leader of your church in direct defiance of the very God you worship. Then again, I'm not very fond of hypocrisy in my religious beliefs. But hey that's just me, that's the way I swing.

True that. Actually, did you hear that they are "postponing" their decision, or something along those lines? Yes- I know it's hard to believe- but they say the reason for the last minute "hesitance" is because they have reason to believe that the new candidate bishop guy may be guilty of "immoral behavior". (something about internet porn) I know I know, hard to believe. Who ever heard of a homosexual being guilty of immoral behavior? How do you define "immoral behavior" in a homosexual, anyway?

Wow.. right on, Kyle! Why haven't we ever got into religious discussions? I bet that'd be way fun with you!

I'm not so much as really good at your standard theological discussions, but I find myself to be a fine purevor of logical reasoning in general. Which basically transends most philosophical borders.
