WorldNetDaily: Rev. Gene Robinson: Jesus 'might be 'gay''

(Pardon me for being so late with this article; my ISP had some servers shorted-out in the recent flooding.)

For those of you needing a recap: The Right Reverend Canon V. Eugene Robinson ("Canon Gene" for short), Bishop of New Hampshire and open homosexual, deliberately made some comments, as WorldNetDaily quotes in the above article, suggesting that Jesus might have been homosexual himself. His grounds for so saying were these:
  1. He was Single.
  2. He traveled in the exclusive company of men.
  3. He had in his entourage a particular disciple (St. John the Evangelist, presumably the same as John the Revelator) who described himself as "the one whom Jesus loved."
  4. He repeatedly stated that His family was a lot larger than just his earthly father and mother and brother.
Sportsfans, this is an example of how homosexuals wrongfully dictate the agenda of the culture. Thanks to this kind of thinking, a single man is automatically suspect, cannot have roommates, and cannot express any affection for another man and use the word love to describe it. Time was when a man could say that he "loved" another man without arousing such suspicion. The "loving" collegial relationship between the characters Walter Neff and Barton Keyes in the motion picture Double Indemnity is a good example of this. But now, whenever a man travels only with men, people want to suspect him of being homosexual. And notice that the loudest noise along that line comes from the homosexuals themselves!

More to the point, I have never heard a clergyman make such an outrageous statement about our Lord and Savior before this. I'm used to hearing that from playwrights with over-active imaginations. Any clergyman making statements like these is guilty of apostasy, blasphemy, and heresy.

Keep it up, Canon Gene. If you wanted to shock people--and fly your true rainbow colors--then you're doing a first-rate job.
