BBC NEWS | UK | England | London | Priest 'sorry' for gay comments

This isn't "I'm sorry", this is "I'm sorry that the rest of you aren't a bigoted as I am and I'm sorry I got caught".

The jury is still out about how I feel about the whole gay rights issue, but hateful rhetoric is hateful rhetoric. I look at a clergyman as a leader of people in the same way as a teacher or parent is leading children. You are teaching the word of God and how to relate to your brother humans. You must be very careful what you say around children. They must learn in increments small enough for their brain to take in. Often they see things in much more black and white terms than adults. Setting an example is even more beneficial or detrimental to a mind in the process of molding. Baby Christians or people searching for answers to spiritual questions are easily mislead by a careless word. They are also distracted by the example set by people in authority.
This man should (and hopefully he does) pray that his ego will take a back seat in this issue. For if he listens to God, he will hear nothing about branding, but all about love.

This guy's a complete idiot. He have just been making a joke, but it was not at all Christlike.

Our nation has not always lived up to its ideals, yet those ideals have never ceased to guide us. They expose our flaws, and lead us to mend them. We are the beneficiaries of the work of the generations before us and it is each generation's responsibility to continue that work. - Laura Bush

Giving a liberal facts is like throwing bacon at a vegetarian. All it does it piss off the vegetarian and waste good bacon.
