Bishop Robinson gets inaugural gig

Rick Warren is controversial? Give me a break! This guy is so much more controversial. He is accused of touching inappropriately male parishoners and other wrongdoings. Why is Obama supporting someone like this? Warren is a saint compared to this filthy man.

Obama is a joke and a fraud - there's no rhyme or reason for what he thinks. And this homosexual is a slap in the face to decent Americans everywhere.

I have seen the preceding comment by "Sam" posted word-for-word at other websites. He seems to be on a spam campaign of unsubstantiated and reprehensible smears.

Sam, you are a fool. He was accused of touching one male parishoner "inappropriatelty". That "touching" was investigated and the touching was a "pat on the back and a squeeze on his arm". They guy was from Vermont and also regretted putting "harassment" in his e-mail and declined to make any formal charges. Also the other incident was for a porn site link on a support group site for young bisexual people. The link was removed and the Bishop had no knowledge of it.
Warren on the other had has an arm full of real scandels, not to mention being a Bigot, Woman hating, fat jerk.

Come on people, don't be a Sam, hate people for really good reasons, not for the obvious things like being gay, a woman or not white.

The Truth really hurts doesn't it James. Read your Bible, sir!!!

My, my ignorance is rampant in this country. We're not too far away from our Puritan ancestors are we. It's good that people can vent; state their beliefs safely. Those of us who are educated need just ignore those who want to pass on their hatred. In the meantime, there are vast numbers of people who do not hold "the bible" as their authority on anything. It's just a book, written by many men, over a period of many, many years. None of it has anything to do with your god. Some disgruntled men made statements according to their fears at the time.

Mr. Robinson will offer a prayer to the god of many truths and try not to be "too Christian":

Mark 8:38 "If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

Mr Robinson gives into to the ridiculous notion that freedom of religion means freedom from religion. I, as an evangelical Christian, would have no problems if Mr. Obama asked the Dalai Lama to give a prayer. Of course, the liberal loonies wouldn't object to this either because the seem infatuated with him, but "We don't tolerate those Christians. They're hateful bigots." They ignore that the Dalai Lama condemns homosexuality, too.

We have the words of the man whose memorial Mr Robinson will be speaking at:

"It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God … and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord …. We have been the recipients of the choicest blessings of heaven. … We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation ever has grown; but we have forgotten God!"

The intolerant left who cry for tolerance would not tolerate Abraham Lincoln today.

I'm an Episcopalian from New Hampshire, and I suggest anyone who feels like judging our bishop at least listen to his prayer. If it's anything like the sample in the above link, and if it's anything like the sermons of his that I've heard, you may be surprised to find in him an inspiringly humble and likable human being. He clearly loves the Lord and is doing the best he knows how to serve Him. He also makes it clear that he takes Jesus' words seriously--all of them.
