[gay episcopal bishop checks into alcohol rehab]
When he goes to Hell, he'll be glad to find out he wasn't really a bishop, b/c real bishops get it far worse down there.

Ummmmmm, I thought that was cops and rock spiders and snitches in prison.
You know - stuff that's documented by people.
I will stand corrected if Inquisitor provides evidence of return his trip to Hell, but until then I shall not think about this ever again.
"Wasn't really a bishop"? It seems pretty straightforward to me that he was a bishop; that's what makes this whole incident newsworthy, isn't it?
Oh, I get it. He's not YOUR IDEA of a bishop, so he's really not one. I suppose that a Christian who doesn't follow your ideas of doctrine isn't really a Christian, either, and that people who believe in God who aren't Christian therefore are all atheists.
Sorry, but it really doesn't do any good to try to redefine the world as you would wish it to be; it will go on being what it is, like it or not.
Oh, and I just noticed the username: "Inquisitor." It figures. So I post this for everyone else; I may be able to talk somebody out of being this foolish again, but I'm sure that where this guy is concerned, I'd never Torquemada anything.

Julian, there are forums out there that make Christian Forums look like a 60's love fest, real sickfuckery. I'm thinking of Theocracy Online, Freak Conservatives, and Rapture Ready. Less than a month ago, UberLutheran was on Theocracy Online. He took passages of Mein Kampf, and other Nazi/Fascist speeches, and substituted "gay" for the words Jew and Communist. They ate it up. Then UL revealed what he did, and what they subscribed to--BANNED! On his ban notice, they put a hammer & sickle icon.
yup - just like I posted elsewhere here.
SCARY PARALLELS PEOPLE!!!!
Shortly after the purge in 1934, a special division of the Gestapo was instituted to compile lists of gay individuals. In 1936, Heinrich Himmler, Chief of the SS, created the "Reich Central Office for the Combating of Homosexuality and Abortion."
Hitler believed that homosexuality was "degenerate behavior" which posed a threat to the capacity of the state and the "masculine character" of the nation. Gay men were denounced as "enemies of the state" and charged with "corrupting" public morality and posing a threat to the German birthrate. About one million gay men were victimized by the Nazi regime. Gays were not initially treated in the same fashion as the Jews, however; Nazi Germany thought of German gay men as part of the "Master Race" and sought to force gay men into sexual and social conformity. Gay men who would not conform and switch sexual orientation were sent to concentration camps under the extermination through work campaign.
