At its Core, Christianity is a Gay Religion

The Trimurti doesn't see so much love on a lay level anymore (Indians tend to favour powerful female figures like Kali and Lakshimi) but most of the oldest state sponsored Indian institutions are centered around it.

I'm a University Lecturer teaching Religious Studies and Liberal Christian Theology courses with a background of a B.A in Anglican Theology and Early Church History and an M.Div from a relatively conservative Greek Orthodox Seminary. I'm also studying part time for an Masters in Sunni Islamic Theology. Early Church history does tend to require an understanding of pre-christian Hellenistic/Asiatic religions but it's not my main focus.

And yeah, I'm not actually too concerned about Christianity; it's Islam I think everyone has to keep an eye on and should worry about. Christians can't drag us back to the dark ages now but those guys have the potential to if left unchecked.

Have you written any books?

Islam is physically dangerous, though I don't think their ideology will take hold in the west. But if the United States ever collapses and there's a power vacuum and people like Pat Robertson seize the reins, there will be hell to pay. It could happen. The us is in so much debt. We can't go belly-up without repercussions in Europe and the rest of the world. I don't want to sound like Chicken Little, but I'm not Polly Anna, either.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
