It is an appropriate post in my opinion reflecting a point of view, which while very rare here, is quite common out on the Fruited Plain. It reflects a deep anger and alienation. I suspect some of the j'accuse of the ACLU is exaggerated (does it really advocate making a hate crime what a minister says behind the pulpit about his theological beliefs regarding homosexuality?), but exaggerated or not, that opinion is no doubt quite common too in some circles.
What BushOK did not quite say, and it would be interesting to know, is that when he thinks some law is un-Biblical, would he disobey that law in favor of the higher law? If so, going down that road depending on what one thinks the Bible says, could be potentially ominous, at least with some folks. The Old Testament in particular has some pretty rough stuff in it is my vague impression, including some chatter someone once told me about stoning homosexuals to death. But I will leave that to others who actually know what the Bible say, as opposed to myself, who in large part does not.
Honestly, Torie, I doubt Bushie is an old testament literalist given into stoning homosexuals or the like. He seems like the most milk-toast New Testament bible thumper I've known.
