I know I’ll probably be labeled unChristian for quoting this person, but here goes:

"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!"


Oh, that quote in and of itself is plenty Christian (obviously), it's just completely inappropriate and frankly a little nonsensical in this context.

Yeah, right...Tell that to the twin cities (mentioned numerous times by whom we've been referring) that once stood near Zoar on the plain.  But, referring to such a story is no doubt also ignorant and unChristian of me.  Might, was well color me a throwback and be done with it...and just for grins: drag my mother through the mud, slap my kids, and kick my dog while you're at it.

Not hugely familiar with Isaiah, are we?

I was at church less than nine hours ago, receiving communion like a good Christian. Give it a rest.

Episcopalians have Wednesday afternoon services? I've heard of Wednesday night (though usually from evangelical churches) but Wednesday afternoon is a little odd.

My church does (Rite I Eucharist with healing prayer). I don't believe it's any sort of standard.

A poster with a reference to an 80's movie as a username rocking Old Testament quotes in opposition to gay marriage? We've never seen that before.

don't forget about the lyrics in the sig from a 70's hit....but, in any case, the following quote is from the New Testament, you twit.  Wink

"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!"

We use a term that charismatic churches use as a more generic equivalent to the technical term 'Anointing of the Sick', which I do regularly because I'm of delicate physical as well as mental constitution. Calling Anointing of the Sick 'healing prayer' is probably the single most low-church thing we do.

September 2012 Minnesota poll:

Do you think same-sex marriage should be legal or illegal?

Legal ............................................................... 43%

man and one woman shall be valid or
recognized as a marriage in Minnesota?

Yes - 48%
No - 47%
Not sure - 5%
Won't vote on the amendment - 0%

Rhode Island had its primaries on Tuesday and things didn't change much. Delaware will probably beat them to it at this rate.

If the Democrats get the legislature back, they should try to push for civil union recognition because it looks like there is nothing in the constitutional amendment that prevents that.

Maybe there's still some hope left for the otherwise progressive Minnesota ...

(But for it to pass, gay marriage would probably have to lead by 5-10 in the pre election polls, because of the "Gay Bradley Effect")

Yeah; it would never pass if it included anything but the weakest possible ban.  (Not that it's not still an awful thing to pass, but it could be worse Tongue)

I've always felt that the best tactic for gay marriage supporters is to get civil unions in place within their state, then go for marriage rights a few years down the road. "The sky will fall" argument/fear of the unknown is the strongest weapon the opponents have (see e.g. the Maine referendum where opponents ran a convincing ad campaign claiming a yes vote wouild require homosexuality to be taught in elementary schools). Civil Unions are much more popular, and after the world doesn't go to hell in a handbasket after they're instituted the concept of allowing actual bona-fide marriage becomes far more palatable to middle-aged and older swing voters.

Unlike California, Minnesota requires 50% of all ballots vote for an amendment for it to pass. 2.48% of Californians abstained on Prop. 8.

I will believe it when I see it... let's hope that happens on Election Day after the NOMmers run their ads with little children coming home and telling their parents they learned about sodomy in school and want to become gay.
