They keep bringing up these damn amendments because… they're obsessed with it.

Alamogordo Daily News - Republicans: Stop thinking about gay sex

It seems to me Republicans spend more time thinking about gay sex than any other group of people in the known world even more so than gay people trying to find other gay people with whom to have sex.

To quote Gregory Boyd’s Myth of a Christian Nation:

Why then are so many evangelicals publicly obsessed with cracking down on this particular sin? [...] Whatever the reasons, however, outsiders have the impression that evangelicals go after this sin because it’s one they don’t generally have.

We evangelicals may be divorced and remarried several times; we may be as greedy and as unconcerned about the poor and as gluttonous asothers in our culture; we may be as prone to gossip and slander and as blindly prejudiced as others in our culture; we may be more self-righteous and as rude as others in our culture — we may even lack love more than others in our culture. These sins are among the most frequently mentioned sins in the Bible. But at least we’re not gay!

That’s according to the winter weather projections in the 2009 edition of the “The Old Farmer’s Almanac,” in stores in next month. Yep, my village is debating the cost of road salt, in August, because the Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts a cold winter. Well, they did run out of salt last winter…

Only Connect: Holding together but going nowhere From our viewpoint the bishops talked in secret little groups in their ‘big top’ surrounded by a ring of police and only emerged once to go to London to tell society how wicked it was not to do more about the debt. Many of us had worked in or visited Africa and experienced the poverty. We do all we can to press for justice and support the aid agencies but we also know about violence against women in Africa and the persecution of gay people. They are the real victims and scapegoats in this whole process.
