Hope Vickie Gene does not blow this opportunity.

I told you all that this new crowd of idiots are easily manipulated. We’ll get in way more of our ideals in terms of policy than we originally thought if we formulate the proper opposition to the almighty Eclair and his grand plans!

Hasn't half the church left due to this one man being put into this position?

Honestly, I'm glad Obama picked Robinson. Just more affirmation of the satanic inspiration of both men.

Gee, I wonder how the Episcopalian church membership has been doing as of late?
Total membership of active baptized members in 2007 within the United States is 2,154,572, according to the 2008 National Council of Churches Report, which represents a 4.15% decline from the NCC's figure for 2006. The statistics for the most recent year available from the Episcopal Church itself, 2005, are 2,205,376 in the United States and 2,369,477 worldwide, which are calculated from all submitted parochial reports for 2005 the latest year available[update].[54]
Taken from Wikipedia.
Now, I believe that homosexuality is a sin like any other. I have had addictions, and have sinned in the past. I would welcome a homosexual to church with open arms just as I would welcome a thief to church, or a drug addict, an adulterer etc... in the hopes that they will break the cycle of their addiction.
But, it's one thing to welcome a sinner to church in the hopes that they will find the power in God to stop sinning, and it's another to have a sinner who sins in his relationship with another man to lead a congregation!
I would not have the thief or the drug addict or the adulterer who does not try to abstain from his addiction preaching the Word of God either. It's madness!
Note: This applies to those who believe in Christianity obviously. If this were a secular speaker, I couldn't care less what sexual orientation the person was, but would judge the message.
Stuff like this nonsense makes me glad that we don't have a "Church of America" (which I guess since the Episcopalians were an offshoot of the Church of England -- could very well have been the Church of America)!

God put on this Earth to rise above sexuality, not to glorify or promote it. Organized religion in general leaves me cold.. I have no use for it's hypocrisies or rituals. The Church is a Cult.. They don't want you to get better.. They want you to belong to Them.

From appearances, I would think Obama is gay and Michelle is a lesbian. An arrange marriage (for appearances only) would be the perfect front those two to reach their dreams.

Going to split the Episcopal Church even deeper.

Anyone with common sense who has heard Vicki “Gay Gene” Robinson speak knows that he is a narcissistic heretic and Sodomite. And an ignorant, arrogant fool to boot. When confirmed as Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire in 2003, he sacrilegiously compared himself to the resurrected Jesus, declaring that “God had done a new thing” and that “Out of a Good Friday has come a new Easter.” As for his prayer this Sunday, the knothead says he will not use the Bible and his prayer will not be “explicitly Christian.” Hmm...same at TEC!

“Gay bishop” just sounds like an oxymoron.

Picking a church leader who has total disregard for his institution’s founding documents seems a perfect metaphor for the inauguration of this president.
And another example of O’s complete lack of claimed judgment and complete inability to pick a credible competent representative of any given field especially in the realm of spirituality.

who cares if he picks the nuns in drag for his inaugural?
If he picks a gay communist, it's his choice. I could care less who or what he choses for anything.
Why are the threads so "shocked" by who or what he picks for his cabinet or for moral support. He is who he is.
He's a community organizer with little or no executive experience that won a lottery ticket. The job of POTUS is going to destroy him. He's a "Vince Young" starting in the Super Bowl without his momma to help him.
Guess what? This is "Big Boy" school now, Barak. Momma ain't here to wipe your a##. You can't vote "present". This is going to be funny. I'm going to live through another Jimmy Carter. I wonder which one of his relatives will have a beer named after him?
Pelosi and Reid are just going to try and destroy our country, Barak is going to sign off on it and the MSM is going to tell us how great everything is and what a great legacy he'll leave behind.
I'm just going to hunker down, spend nothing and hold on for 4 years.
