"The Democratic Party did pretty well with that big-tent strategy in this past election, and my sense is there is a lesson there for a centrist movement that is struggling to appeal to younger people.”

Yes Yes, by all means appeal to the younger people... Hell with God's word, just make sure you appeal to the younger people. Moronic... absolutely Moronic.

Hmm. Wonder if God gets a vote?

No, but He's got a heck of a veto power...

And you know why God created Scientologists?

So Jehovah's Witnesses would have somebody to laugh at.

I have to say, I would be inclined to add this to my collection of inaptly phrased headlines.

How would Taranto caption it?

Rabbis Reconsider Gay Sex

I am certain that what two (or more) homosexuals do is not sex by any means. There really is no such thing as "gay" sex. Nothing is begat from gay "sex" other than chronic disease and eventually death. Call it what it really is -- sodomy, an dirty, unsafe practice. But it would sound rather contradictory to have a group of rabbis reconsidering gay sodomy. So it almost seems as though the question of legitimacy is a foregone conclusion. I'm sure we'll soon be treated to stories in the MSM about how brave the rabbis all were in their decision to legitimize homosexuality in the Jewish faith. I gonna be sick.

"Jonathan Sarna, a professor of American Jewish history at Brandeis University, told the Post that the "movement as a while will be able to say that it is in the center and, more important, that there is more than one way to be a Jew . . . "The Democratic Party did pretty well with that big-tent strategy in this past election, and my sense is there is a lesson there for a centrist movement that is struggling to appeal to younger people."

Proselytizing for the Democrat Party in the middle of an article about Judaism? Disgusting and contemptible.

Sigh - getting really, really tired of people who pretend to be religious believers and yet reject the very foundation of religion.

If people are going to reject the very scriptures and teachings that are the foundation of their respective religions (and funny thing, homosexual acts are condemned in every religion!), they should just quit pretending and either start their own group or just join the Democrat party.

From my observation, the churches that compromise are the ones who can't keep their kids.

Will they have a delegation from Sodom and Gomorrah, to describe for them the consequences of the last time this was tried?

Once again, a Catholic publication projects its own problem onto Judaism by holding up one of the more libertine Jewish movements on the Sabbath (when Jews won't argue online).

How typically Roman...

It was dishonest of the author to go on about "Conservative" rabbis, when he knows that "Conservative" Judaism is not conservative or Judaism.

Here's a good background paper for the Conservative Rabbis:

Agree. When I first read, "Rabbis Reconsider Gay Sex", I thought, "What? They tried it and didn't like it the first time, or WHAT does this mean?"

The Sanhedrin is not seated. There is no temple.

But the panelÕs decision will be important for the future of the Conservative movement, which has seen its numbers dwindle in the U.S. in recent decades.

If they become "gay," that will be the end of the Conservative movement. Homosexuality is a dead end (gays are few in number, they don't reproduce and they get sick and die young because of their "lifestyle"). There is no future for an organization that appeals to that demographic. Look at how many liberal churches are dying.

Who cares what rabbis and priests have to say about anything? It's time to move on! Time to bring intellect and logic and compassion and experience to bear. And time to put our ancient history to bed.
