Panthera, Larry, Celsus, and others continue to have at on yesterday’s COTD, but it’s Christmas Eve, so I’m going to refrain from re-posting one of theirs here — they’re not particularly gentle.

However, here’s a comment by Panthera on yesterday’s post about Ted Haggard’s return to the spotlight (BTW, be sure to read Patton’s post on this subject).

Take a deep breath, no matter what side of the same sex marriage divide you’re on, and read this (my added italics):

Noted, Lee – my family lives just down the road from Colorado
Springs. I may, perhaps, be forgiven a touch of sourness on mega-church
pastors.

Speaking of which, my dear brother waited until after Christmas was
set for his house to announce that my partner and I would not be
welcome. True Christians, only.

My parents are feeling about as low as, well, you can just
imagine…knowing this may be their last Christmas with the family, and
now it must be split.

That, Lee, is the type of “Christians” who I must deal with – ones
who can not even set aside their hatred for one single, solitary
afternoon to make their own parents happy. Whoops! Forgot…all that
talk about honoring one’s parents is soooo OT and stuff that
long-haired Jewish guy, what’s his name, well never mind, he was only
the Son of God would find important.

Can you point out any mega-churches which do not preach hatred
towards me as a homosexual? I am not aware of any, tho’, as I mentioned
above, my acquaintance with this American phenomenon is limited to
Colorado.
