Interview with New Hampshire Bishop Gene Robinson

[XXXR84]

the Church of England is dead. and you wonder why the Church of England is no more? i have a bunch of Pagans whom believe that God the father is half of God the mother and more and more British believe in God the Father and God The mother because this debate is stupid. Simple. if you believe that the bible is literary word of God. than you believe in the invisible man in the sky. Idol worship!

[MyHauntedExcursions]

He's so handsome.

[tango2romeo]

Let me tell you, this is why a lot of people are running away from ALL forms of Christianity and into things like - paganism, I kid you not. Not just atheism but worshipping pagan gods. Or even Satanism. Is that what you want?

[tango2romeo]

I notice that you people are also not in any way concerned about DIVORCED straight people. So you people show, in your actions and by ignoring divorce, that SOME sins are clearly less serious than other ones, and it's just your own personal distaste for homosexuality that leads you to focus on this and not divorce. Quit hiding behind Scripture to justify your own "ick factor". You dishonest liars, you.

[tango2romeo]

Gee, there's so much love here coming from these gay-hating people who have left comments. And don't even begin to lie to me and say "but I don't hate gay people" because yes you do, I won't believe anything different until you people start changing your tune and until you people start LOOKING AT YOURSELVES and what your comments say about yourselves, you self-righteous, sanctimonius halfwits!

[SouthernGent55]

Gene Robinson is not an authentic man of God! He is very badly misguided and confused. Imagine, a man of his age thinks that his anus is designed to be penetrated by another man??

What a poor, lost soul! The Episcopalin church is perhaps one of the most disgusting churches in America and even in the world!

A grown man who is gay. Someone has said that there is nothing more sickening than to see an "Old Sissy!" I concur.

[tango2romeo]

So, SouthernGent, you are equally as concerned with the facts that:

1: many women enjoy anal sex too, with their male partners

2: many people of both genders also engage in oral sex upon men, called "fellatio"

What you want to make sure of is this: that everyone who has sex is inserting a penis into a vagina and NOTHING ELSE. Is that correct? Is that the correct conclusion to come to based on your comments? No oral sex. No anal sex. No masturbation. Just penis in vagina sex only. Right??

[tango2romeo]

SouthernGent, I fail to see why anyone else's sex life is any of your damn business. I mean, do you also want to assume responsibility for all other levels of their lives, like how they dress and what jobs they take and what kind of people can be their friends, etc? I hope you don't have kids - because if you do, I'm sure you're the most control freakish dad out there, monitoring everything in your childrens' lives. Well, you aren't everyone's father! Stop acting like you are!

[tango2romeo]

It's also quite sickening, old man, that YOU are so concerned about what anyone does with any body part that belongs to them. Do you also worry about what rings I wear on my fingers? You might not like some of the jewelry I wear. YOU are the one who needs help, because YOU are the one who has an obsession with someone else's sex life. That is just demented. If you were turning such attention on me, a straight woman, I'd say you were acting almost like a stalker!

[XXXR84]

@SouthernGent55 It seems to me that you take the bible literally. If so, why do you take the sin of homosexuality to be far above all other sins? I do not see people bitching about divorce, which I thought was also a sin, but this is the main thing that bible literalist take as a great offense. If so then why do the same people treat Jesus and God as an Idol? Think about it! May god forgive you!

[ashie123]

some of the things he says i agree with. like we shouldnt ever declare ourselves out of communion with another Christian. And we are all unworthy, but are made worthy through Christ.

but it's so blaitantly clear in the bible that homosexuality is a sin. on what grounds do they claim otherwise? that is what i don't understand...

[tango2romeo]

RE: "on what grounds do they claim otherwise? that is what i don't understand..."

Do you WANT to understand or do you just want to sit there and wring your hands and be disturbed and not really LEARN SOMETHING NEW?

I bet you don't WANT to learn the grounds upon which they make their claim. If it was TOLD DIRECTLY TO YOU, you WOULD NOT LISTEN. People like you NEVER DO.

It's like beating our heads against a brick wall. Yes, we who welcome gay people COULD tell you. Would you listen??

[Ohyewildthong]

If he is such a good Christian he was made a Bishop then prehapse he should read the bible more.

How about this for reading

1st book of corinthians, chapter 6 verse 9.

[broadjumper1]

What does it say? It says he abhors homosexuality and ALL SIN, not that he doesn't love ALL people...

[XXXR84]

[broadjumper1]

@XXXR84 - In fact, I have thought about it. All sin is detestable and the church also 'bitches' about divorce. I can't stop people from treating Jesus or God as an idol (not sure what you're getting at), but we are to worship God, that's not idolatry. What I'm saying is that I won't support a church's effort to accept and rationalize sin, such as in the ordination Robinson, or that accepts divorce as Godly. God doesn't need to forgive me for following his word, but Eugene will need it.
