As the Episcopal Church consecrated Gene Robinson the 9th bishop of New Hampshire in November 2003, he wore the customary vestments. He was also wearing a bullet-proof vest. What made the occasion controversial, indeed historic, was the Church's acceptance of Gene Robinson as the first openly-gay bishop in all of Christendom.
Robinson is quick to point out that there have always been gay bishops in the Episcopal Church. "There have been a lot of us, let's just be clear," he said. "I'm just the first openly-gay one."
Almost certainly the first Episcopal Bishop with purple nail polish. This was, of course, a special occasion: a celebration late last fall commemorating his consecration as bishop 20 years ago. The congregation of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, in Washington, D.C., is Bishop Robinson's parish these days. These are very much his people; and here he clearly feels more free, perhaps, to be himself – purple fingernails and all.

He quoted nothing from God’s Holy Word in his acceptance speech. He failed to proclaim the scripture because it was about himself. I felt a sadness for those he is misleading.
God actually gave him permission to come out of the closet and pursue a sodomistic lifestyle.
I can't even get the green light on the hot chick that works the Circle K checkout.
It was not God who called Selfish Gene out of the closet!
For all you non-biologists:

Since the 1990s or so, the “selfish gene” theory has lost some of its luster. And even Selfish Gene Robinson has become somewhat dated!
Hate to tell him but that bullet-proof vest won’t do much to save the heretic from eternity in hell.
Is held out by the Episcopal Church as a moral example.
How QUEER! Is he a pitcher or catcher? Did he work with any boys or young men?
Go to YouTube and search for Norm McDonald gay pride. (Not for work or sensitive souls)
That’s this guy.
You owe me a new keyboard!
Reprobate.
Gene even said it himself; he said, “I have lived with one foot in the church and one foot in the LBGT community”.
Then Gene needs to read his bible a little better because it says you cannot serve two masters!
The greater sin is his saying what he is saying, and leading others to perdition.
Great point. ALL will be judged - sinner and saint alike at the final judgement.
… Which brings us to the story of Matthew Shepard. In 1998, Matthew was 21, gay and a devoted Episcopalian, so perhaps it was inevitable that he would become something of a symbol, even a martyr, in the eyes of that church’s first openly-gay bishop.And they have to repeat this debunked narrative 22 paragraphs down, because Robinson pushes it. Such garbage the mainstream media produces.
One night, two young men took Shepard out onto the prairie and beat him unmercifully. “And then they did a very strange thing: They literally hung him on a fence, so that the first person who discovered him at first thought it was a scarecrow,” Robinson said. He died six days later.
It was such a gruesome event, such a blatantly anti-gay hate crime, that Shepard’s parents were reluctant to bury his ashes, for fear that the gravesite would be desecrated. It wasn’t until 20 years later, in 2018, that they turned to Bishop Robinson to ask if the National Cathedral might take their son’s ashes. And there they rest. …
Say what you will about sodomites, they are all liars.
My God did not call him out of the closet. His “god” isn’t my God.
Yeah.
They are all messed up people. We know how almost all of them start out, preyed upon by an older messed up person that messes them up.
Its when they start advocating and encouraging others to be messed up when they become a true danger to others and the rest of society.
Matthew 12:
1 Therefore I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be forgiven. 32 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come. 33 Either make the tree good and its fruit good: or make the tree evil, and its fruit evil. For by the fruit the tree is known. 34 O generation of vipers, how can you speak good things, whereas you are evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of a good treasure bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of an evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: Master we would see a sign from thee. 39 Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 40 For as Jonas was in the whale's belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. 41 The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold a greater than Jonas here. 42 The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon here.
They can call themselves “The Episcopal... Something”, but they certainly are not a church unless it’s the church of Satan.
Romans 1.
Filthy bastard. He's telling us why the Episcopal Church is going down the toilet. He's chosen his homosexuality as his defining characteristic, and is happy to live as a total hypocrite.
