We did good to Hitler by blowing the hell out of his country and stopping him from killing more innocent people. Likewise, we will do good to Ms. Prejean by making encouraging her to stay silent and out of the spotlight and thus making a further mockery of herself and her religion.

So then what do you suggest one does with this scripture

Galatians
6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Seems God not man has decided many years ago what Christianity is, was, and will be, It is not for me to attempt to change it.

Galatians 6
1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, 5 for each one should carry his own load.

We should not praise Hitler but …

Luke 6:27 “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

Adolf Hitler was a staunch anti-communist. Should we therefore praise him for invading the Soviet Union? I sure as hell hope not.

The problem I have with this whole situation is that social conservatives rallied around somebody who did not reflect their values simply because she said something about traditional marriage that they liked.

Hitler was also opposed to gay marriage. That doesn’t make him somebody whose judgment we ought to rally around, defend, or celebrate.

If one is singled out for judgment and not all – Are we not practicing an inequity. What did God do to his people in Israel for inequity?

“what would Jesus do?” is in regards to how Jesus would handle a sinner, what he would tell them, as Jesus never sinned, he was temped, he paid the price for sin, but he never sinned.

“take responsibility for our actions and suffer the consequences” … absolutely but change comes from the heart; and many sinners need prayer to overcome their sins.

Mind you I think her past does indeed make her a bad role model for children. It is very good that she was not asked a question about relations before marriage – what a disaster that would of turned out to be.

She was in error to take on a “holier than thou” presents, but not wrong in defending the institution of marriage. One does not need to be a Christian to defend marriage. One does not need to “holly” to defend marriage. Her error was that of an novice. She should of been counseled by those who put her in the position to be a spokes person.

She certainly would not get to heaven based on her good works;

But, is the act of making a video of yourself for a boyfriend unforgivable?

What’s more, a boyfriend is different than a husband. Premarital sex and showing off your… you know… to someone who isn’t your spouse is probably also going to raise the red flag for Christians.

Although God never specifically told us never to film ourselves doing this stuff and then sharing it with other people… I have a feeling that’s still going to be considered un-Christian by most practicing Christians. When John McCain was pandering to the Christian Right, he said he would work to get rid of internet pornography. He didn’t say to restrict its access to 18+ audiences only – he advocated an actual ban on all internet pornography.

Haha, just a fun factoid here, too. It’s illegal to wear shorts in the Vatican City. Seriously, they won’t let you in.
