This was my response to the All Scripture Baptist Church, whose pastor (who is also, terrifyingly, a Tennessee police detective) recently posted a sermon calling for the execution of homosexuals.

Somewhere, 15-year-old liberal Christian me is very proud of 45-year-old me. I had to dig REAL deep to find him, encourage him it was safe to come out, and let him speak.

He wasn't a bad guy at all, really: his extreme qualms about queerfolk being treated like fair game for hatred was one of the things that drove him first towards liberal Christianity, then to outright heresy, then eventually to... um... worshipping an imaginary jackalope lady.

Sorry about that, kid, I guess we didn't turn out QUITE like you'd hoped, but as you can see, I'm still on a good path and still know my Scripture a hell of a lot better than the people you ran screaming from 30 years ago. :)
