Clergy lead New York City Gay Pride Parade

[Mrs Behavin]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Clergy led New York City's gay pride parade, lending their moral authority to an event that also featured drag queens, motorcycle-riding lesbians and samba dancers.

Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, who heads a gay synagogue, and the Reverend Troy Perry, founder of the Metropolitan Community Church, were the parade's grand marshals.

In Kleinbaum's words, "Those who use religion to advocate an anti-gay agenda, I believe, are blaspheming God's name."

Buddhists carried a gay pride sign that said "Don't Block Your Buddha."

At San Francisco's gay pride festival, Elizabeth Edwards said that unlike her husband,Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards, she supports gay marriage.

In Kleinbaum's words, "Those who use religion to advocate an anti-gay agenda, I believe, are blaspheming God's name."

I totally agree with him.

That being said, advocating sin in the name of God is blaspheming God's name as well.

or war

"From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?"

God hates war, but again, to put an end to war He would have to put an end to freedom of choice.

Jesus: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Everyone loves baby Jesus, die on the cross for our sins Jesus, healing Jesus. Most don't care for hardcore Jesus.
