@71 I mean when will Episcopalians support marriage equality. The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, right?

@71 You're the one who seems to be writing off (evangelical) Christians. They'll catch up! When do you think the Episcopals will support marriage equality?

@63 I don't think NALT is an ad hominem term - just the opposite - but it does honestly acknowledge the historical reality.

@54 So what do you think of the homophobia in the Bible, such as the passages listed in comment #51 above? What do you think of the hundreds or thousands of years of Bible-based anti-gay persecution?

@52 Caricature? NALTs are welcomed allies, but they don't get to rewrite history.

"The hostility of Christianity and other religions towards homosexuality is not a reason to shed one’s belief in God."

Sure it is. It's a great challenge for theodicy.

Does anyone think Donny & Marie knew at the time what the eponymous Steely Dan was?

Mar 20 cgd commented on The Iraq War Anniversary.

Today's editorial from the New York Times says:

Iraq is a reminder of the need for political leaders to ask the right questions before allowing military action and to listen honestly rather than acting on ideological or political impulses.

Ha! Where was the NYT and most of the media with the most elementary questions and skepticism? They were collaborators, not truth-tellers.

The only thing more maddeningly hilarious is the post on the website of Andrew Sullivan - not mentioning the role he played - scolding the NYT for not holding themselves more accountable. Sullivan's mea culpa 5 years ago in Slate doesn't scratch the surface of his gullibility and insane bluster for GW Bush and his Iraq war. Head kasplodes!
