Got that, rumor-mongering conspiracy freaks? ;-/
First, let me state that given the predelection for bloggers like yourself to smear and slander others, I'm making a screen cap of my posting, with a time stamp. Don't want the content of my comment being edited by those who find the truth, and free expression of others inconvenient.
I have to say, whatever god it is you worship, it doesn't seem to fill you with the love you make a show of professing. The church isn't a private club, and it's members are real human beings, with real human rights.. unfortunately, extremists like yourself do not respect the rights of others. You foolishly believe you can preserve your own rights, while trampling on the rights of others. You're motivated by hatred and bitterness and it shows. What you will achieve, is the undermining of your own rights, because you are establishing a precedent that others down the line will be able to cite.
History is full of examples of those like you who didn't mind oppressing others, but who were shocked to find that when their turn came, there was no one left to speak out for them.. because your sort are the good nazis who helped imprison and destroy them.
Let's think about something other than your petty ego, shall we? I'm sure you've read about the ABoC's recent emission to the Islamacists, about how offensive Christianity is to Muslims. Considering how offensive what you represent, is to Muslims, please share your opinion of Williams kowtowing to that prejudice, and the realities present in the Muslim world for gays and lesbians? Please emit your opinion of what will be the upshot of Williams, and some in the British government, a highly placed judge and the Prince of Wales himself supporting the inclusion of Sharia law in the UK.
I'd also appreciate your addressing the death threats against The Bishop of Rochester, the Reverend Michel Nazir-Ali, as well as many Muslims (including women) who have converted to Christianity in the UK, and now face threats of death, the loss of their children, their homes and any ability to feel safe.
Since you make quite a meal of inclusiveness, and people having a "choice", you shouldn't have a problem respecting the choices of others that differ from you.. after all, isn't it a fact that you would resent the expectation that you conform to the expectations of others? Try something a bit different than your usual propaganda, a little honesty wouldn't hurt you, now would it?
Would someone please explain what that (long) post is addressing, because it doesn't seem to have anything at all to do with the article it purportedly commented on or, for that matter, this blog?
john ... it's a "consider the source" comment which I chose to "moderate up" as an example of the kind of "stuff" that's out there.
No suprise that someone who's log-in name is "schori is a charlatan" would beg to differ with the opinions presented on this blog.
And, just for the record and for commenters going forward, comments on posted articles or opinions are happily received.
"Instructions" that I write about one thing or the other or not so much.
Must be an epidemic of "mad Primitive disease" in the UK this month.
