A normal Sunday. I took the Banshee and Entropy to church. We belong to the local parish of one of the so-called "mainline" protestant denominations. Our church is small and friendly and fortunately has been spared from the wrenching debates regarding homosexuality engaging our national church in recent years. Our church does engage in a lot of community ministry to help the less fortunate; which is probably a better use of our time and money than worrying about sexual deviancy.
Glen Beck has opined that if you hear your church use the term social justice Glen Beck audio that you should run away. This bothers me. I think it is evident from the gospels that Jesus had a special concern for those that were down and out. I think that God does expect us to treat everyone as our brother. I think it is a Christian imperative to work for social conditions that would enable everyone to have equal opportunities for success. And in a country where it is ok to spend tax payer dollars to bail out mega banks - just so that a year later they can go back to giving kabillion dollar bonuses to their executives - I'm glad someone is standing up for the little guys. Talk about your moral hazards....
I'm just saying.......
