Why we should not paint Christians with a broad brush.

[eirias]

Real Live Preacher has some beautiful words about homosexuality and the larger Christian message.

The Salty Vicar writes about homosexuality too. He also writes thoughtfully about the changing economics of sex and how the vast economic changes in the world must affect our interpretation of Scripture.

If I had been exposed to these people when I was younger, I might still be a Christian. I would probably not, however, still be a Catholic.

The catch...

... is that many folks don't want to disentangle public policy from religion. In fact, they want morality (and specifically their morality, which is based on their religion) to guide and inform public policy.

Come to think of it, I don't want the country passing immoral laws, either. It's just that my idea of what's moral and what's immoral matches up much better with, say, yours than it does with "theirs."
