Yea, yea, I know. Love the sinner but hate the sin. And I'm sure there are people who actually practice what they preach, but far too many people use their religion to justify their bigotry, and Christians should learn to tolerate gays because they're not going anywhere. Most have seemed to adjust just fine to an anti-slavery worldview so I'm sure that if they really tried they could learn to live with the fact that some people are gay and will remain that way their entire life.
So if certain Christians are going to use the bible to justify their stands on homosexuality they should at least be consistent and be pro-slavery as well.
Most Christians tolerate gays. More than democrats tolerate conservative women or blacks.

I dare say, there are just as many jerkhole conservatives as liberals.
P.S. Sorry for the language. It just seemed to be the most appropriate word.

Well, it seems as if A&E is doing an about face. I couldn't care less about the show itself, it doesn't interest me in the least, but it's nice to seem them stand up to the various special interest groups.
Let's see if they have the backbone to stand by their decision in the face of the onslaught that is sure to ensue. I rather doubt it, but maybe they will surprise me.

They have crunched the numbers. The people that watch Duck Dynasty are not the ones that are watching The New Norm.
