\u201cThere\u2019s a whole lot of sins that will keep you out of the Kingdom of God. 
\nHere\u2019s just a sample: sexually immoral can\u2019t get in; idolaters can\u2019t get in;
\nadulterers can\u2019t get in.  Men who practice homosexuality, and the term
\nthat Paul <\/strong>uses there, he uses two different terms: one for the active participant,
\nand the other for the passive.  In the homosexual community,
\none is called the bottom; the other is called the top.\u201d <\/em><\/span>  
\n\u2013 <\/em>American Family Association <\/em>radio host Bryan Fischer <\/strong>explains more over the free airwaves than
\nanyone teaches in Sex Ed<\/em>.  Who knew the apostle Paul got specific about tops and bottoms?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As you know, I typically don\u2019t get embroiled in the political arena.  But in my capacity as a television pundit (my latest appearance on The Take<\/em><\/strong> can be seen if you click here<\/a>), I\u2019ve been asked for my \u201ctake\u201d on the Democratic candidates for president.  I may have predicted Miss Gillibrand <\/strong>would go low, but the story circulating about Pete Buttigieg <\/strong>is so low, it\u2019s ludicrous.  In an inept attempt to smear Mayor Pete, a right-wing operative hired a Michigan college student to say he had been sexually assaulted by Buttigieg.  I hate to say \u201cas if\u201d, but AS IF!  The 21-year-old agreed when he was told the operative would buy him \u201cany house I wanted\u201d \u2013 an offer nobody has ever made me!  At the last moment, the kid felt that lying would \u201ccost me the two most important things to me: honesty and integrity.\u201d  See, this is why nobody has ever made this offer to moi<\/em>!  Even before the fakery was revealed, some Republicans were skeptical.  \u201cNot a fan of Mayor Pete but this whole thing seems shady as hell,\u201d Tweeted <\/em>Gregory T. Angelo<\/strong>, former head of the Log Cabin Republicans<\/em>.  Thank God \u2013 some sanity!  And, while not germane to the story, might I just add that the 21-year-old in question is not what I’d call a looker – as you’ll see on my website.<\/p>\n

Then evangelical Franklin Graham <\/strong>called upon Peter (which is apparently the name he prefers) to \u201crepent\u201d.  I\u2019m sure Buttigieg was just as shocked when he heard Rick Santorum <\/strong>respond saying, \u201cIf he\u2019s gonna say that about Pete Buttigieg, then he needs to when Donald Trump<\/strong>\u2019s accusations come up about marital infidelity and other things that is [yes, he said \u201cis\u201d] equally sinful.  He should be equal and vociferous in calling out a similar sin.\u201d  When asked if infidelity is the same kind of sin as homosexuality, Santorum said, \u201cWell, that\u2019s what the Christian religion teaches.  Both are violations of the traditional and sacred bonds of marriage, that outside of marriage is sinful behavior, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
