Bigots can be ordained, but gays can’t

I guess you’d expect me to post about the Presbyterian Church’s decision to ban homosexuals from being ordained in their church, news which is making waves today.

But why should I comment? What the trustees of the Presbyterian church choose to get up to is none of my business, any more than it’s any of my business what the Mormons, the Destiny Church or the Exclusive Brethren get up to.

It’s their right to be bigoted and to believe nonsense, just as it’s my right to have nothing to do with them — and your right to make fun of their antediluvian attitudes– but what they choose to do in the privacy of their own churches is certainly none of my business.
