Newsweek Article: The Good Book and Gay Marriage

Well, as I was browsing articles for out Current Events Article reviews for World Geography, I came across what I thought was a really interesting article. It's a debate between Bill Wylie-Kellerman (who is pro-gay marriage), a United Methodist serving as pastor at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Detroit and his opponent, Dr. Barrett Duke, vice president for public policy and research at the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, an agency of the Southern Baptist Convention. Duke argues the bible clearly states homosexuality is an abomination.

Andddd, since I'm a on a roll, I'll post the link. It was published back in December by Newsweek, and it was well worth my time. The article is 8 pages long, so if you're not that into reading....
I don't expect you all to read the entire thing. But just read the first 3, maybe 4 pages. You'll get the jist of it.

Here is the link:

I commend both men for having beliefs that they hold strong, too.

And at least we know they aren't all loonies like that Shirley Phelps gal, who is an advocate for Westboro Baptist Church and godhatesfags.com. I'm pretty sure their whole conjugation is out of whack. Here's a video promoted by them, just for your trouble.



Those people make me sick. They put man-kind to shame. Don't get me wrong. I know not every Christian is like this. But I'm not just talking about Christians. I'm talking about people in general. But when you discriminate, and show hate or disgust towards a group of people who has done you know harm, this is what you look like. No matter how nice you are in front of people or when you talk to them.
And that Asian man? He almost makes me ashamed of being Asian. Of being even in the same ethnicity. Just almost.
