Predator Pastor & Gay Marriage

As if the proponents of ‘gay’ civil unions didn’t need more fuel to build up steam for the legalization for full ‘gay’ marriage. One of their talking points has been about how much problems ’straights’ have in keeping their marriages together. Not a bad tact in a society that no longer can sustain long term marriages as the norm.

Their other has been the attack on the Christians and the supposed hypocrisy. With the Priest abuse cases in the Catholic church they have created more justifiable ‘doubt’ about whatever criticism the church might muster. Now here in Northwest Ohio a predator pastor who solicited a minor on-line only adds fuel to the already raging fire.

Burton was charged with importuning and attempted unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

Burton pleaded no contest due to the strong case against him. Apparently he was arrested trying to meet a 15 year old girl in what turned out to be a sting operation.

Though one might argue this is the exception there have been enough in the news to make opponents and critics skeptical of such claims. Remember the BTK killer? So people seem more willing to accept other false claims about God that fit human nature rather than the divine nature of who Jesus Christ is.

We believe in God’s incredible hospitality and all-consuming love, and that God wants us all to love one another as God loves us. So why would God not want people to love one another and to legally recognize their marriage and have the same rights as everyone else???Ω asked Debra Duke, of Cranbury, who is the pastor for the United Church of Christ’s Maple Congregation.

By this argument they search to tie equal protection under the law (which every citizen is already granted) to encompassing it around ‘civil rights’ not granted by their creator.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights

Is it any wonder that there is a movement to move like-minded Christians to South Carolina?

Josh McDowell years ago wrote a fiction book where something similar was done. Except it was northern California where they sought to make it a separate state. Hmmmm… Can it get any stranger in our culture? Don’t ask a question you don’t really want an answer to.
