I went to dinner with a pair of folks last night. Two more Christian people you will not meet.
One was a bit late because he had spent some time praying with an elderly friend of his. The other was even later because she had taken communion to some people who were house-bound. Both are opposed to gay marriage. Christians, by and large, have done a good job of keeping to many of the core tenets that Jesus preached. They do help the poor. They are kind in spirit. They do help their neighbors. But so many of them have gotten lost in the rest of it....in the red tape bullshit that capital-R "Religion" has steeped upon the few words that Jesus actually spoke in that ancient scripture. How did "Love thy neighbor" become "only the people we like can share in God's love"??? It's unfortunate, because these are GOOD people.
