The First Openly Gay Episcopal Bishop

Wednesday, October 11, 2006

The election of Gene Robinson--the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican Church--sparked a rift that many feared would lead to schism. In Going to Heaven, he says he’s “neither the angel nor the devil” he’s made out to be.

Going to Heaven is available for purchase at amazon.com

    Obama is good, but he's slightly off the mark, just enough to make you not want to canonize him just yet -- for instance, Rick Warren, chose to Recite 3 different names for his personal savior. Did the maudlin quality of his admission even outdo the inappropriate nature of his specifically detailing his own idol worship? Yet, worse than that, it was Obama who picked this car wreck. And we had to listen to it. I don't think that any other presidents would have allowed it. The fact that Obama can overlook it, or miss it when approving such saccharine, evolving into nausea inducing inappropriately offensive dogma, shows perhaps what will be one of his biggest upcoming flaws: either a colossally poor lack of judgment, or more surprising, not being plugged in enough to subtleties, and therefore betraying his own better kept unpublished private sentiments and allegiances.
