I love the last line."The church appears to be standing by its views."

Lolz! I wish more priests were this gutsy. Although it's sad that courage is now require to state the obvious.

I saw this breathlessly reported on TV this morning. The writer couldn't hide his shock at this outrage.

"Angry parishioners and residents took to the church's Facebook page to express their anger over the sign."

Doesn't anyone proof read this stuff?

Angry parishioners and residents took to the church's Facebook page to express their anger over the sign.

I hope the Pastor told the "parishioners" (I'll wager that they really weren't) that the nearest Unitarian/Universalist "church" is down on Che Guevara Blvd.

The "outrage" being reported is analogous to a mob attacking a TV weatherman for reporting that it is going to rain.

Recognizing the meaning & function of words is an outrage only to those unable to handle reality.

There is obviously nothing in the least mean spirited in the sign. It is a very gentle way of pointing out what is completely obvious.

Things I do with friends: go to dinner, watch football, play cards, have a few beers.

Things I don't do with friends: @#(%#(%(, or (!@(!) (!@(#)!#). And most certainly not @#($)@( !))!()! @)@()! with a @)(#$)!)~~_ and a !(@#)!()!(@)!.
