1. Kevin Swanson, host of the Generations with Vision radio show and Pastor of the Reformation Church OPC in Colorado, after seeing a photo of Colorado's House Majority Leader Mark Ferranchino (D) kissing his same sex partner on the front page of the Denver Post:
Mr. Swanson blamed the catastrophic flooding in that state on state "legislators (who) committed homosexual acts on the front page of the Denver Post, do you remember that?...So here we have the very worst year in Colorado...let's kill as many babies as possible, let's make sure we encourage as much decadent homosexual activity as possible, let's break God's law with impudence at every single level, at every single level let's make sure that we offend whoever wrote the Bible, so we have the worst year possible politically in the state of Colorado and it happens to be the worst year ever in terms of flood and fire damage in Colorado's history."
I'd point out that there are states that have Democratic led legislatures, marriage equality laws and follow the Supreme Court's ruling on abortion that have been visited by neither flood nor fire; but I doubt this bigot would hear me. And where in his Bible does he find the verse about hating thy neighbor as thyself?2. Pope Francis, when asked to explain his position on homosexuality--specifically, he was asked if he "approved" of it:
"Tell me: When God looks at a gay person, does He endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person? We must always consider the person."
No matter what religion you follow, or even if you don't follow a religion at all, you have to respect a church leader who keeps an open mind, who doesn't claim to have all the answers. Personally, I wish this man a long and healthy life. The world needs him.
