Priest wants church painting removed because "angels look gay".
January 21, 2012 at 2:03 pm
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

In recent years, the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary said that he believed homosexuality was determined by birth but still felt it was a sin because it's attributable to "the fall".
Proving to their satisfaction that homosexuality is part of nature and determined by birth won't force them to admit that gays deserve equal rights because they can fall back to the "we live in a fallen world filled with sin". This is, after all, the same religion that tells me I've committed adultery with every woman I've ever felt lust for.

If there is one thing I would expect it is that a priest can tell what a homosexual looks like.

I'd just like to know what a “diabolical, homosexual look” is.

But, hey, at least that's the sort of thing you can spin to your advantage. For instance, if, in fact, lusting after a woman is the same as actually committing adultery, I have boned:
*Drew Barrymore
*Mandy Moore
*Jodie Foster
*Marilyn Monroe
*Joss Stone
*Shakira
*Rosario Dawson
*Sarah Michelle Gellar
*The entire female cast of Saved by the Bell (except Lisa)
*Goldie Hawn
*Salma Hayek
*Lucy Lawless (and Renee O'Connor)
*t.A.T.u.
*Jenny McCarthy (as evil [definition: a misguided person who will stop at nothing to further eir misguided goals) as I think she is for her work with Generation Rescue, she is hot)
And that's just counting some of the celebrities I've rubbed one out to; even before beginning to count people I know IRL, it'd be even bigger. And, for that matter, would the directive still apply to Perverse Sexual Lust?
