Here's a pop quiz for you. What was the original sin? Disobedience to God, of course, but what precisely is the nature of the offense? Let that question roll around in your mind. We'll come back to it later.

I recently listened to a speech on C-Span by Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, the first "openly gay" bishop, speaking to students of Nova University in Florida about the issue of religion and homosexuality (what else would he be talking about?), the civil rights of gay and lesbian people, and, most particularly, his view as a clergyman concerning the Scriptures as they relate to the issue of homosexuality. Never before have I heard such a tangled morass of deceptions from someone representing himself as a man of God. I found as I listened again and again to his speech that it was so laden with misinformation and outright falsehood that I became bogged down and found it difficult to choose which deceptions to focus on. the rest image
