So after the brouhaha over inviting Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration, Obama is reverting back to liberal pandering form:
CONCORD, N.H. – The first openly gay Episcopal bishop will offer a prayer at the Lincoln Memorial at an inaugural event for President-elect Barack Obama.
The selection of New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson for Sunday's event follows weeks of criticism from gay-rights groups over Obama's decision to have the Rev. Rick Warren give the invocation at his Jan. 20 inauguration.
Can I get a show of hands from those who didn't see something like that coming. You don't dare cross the militant homosexual lobby, so Obama was forced to kiss the ring of the poster boy for the radical sexual deviant lobby. This quote from Gene Robinson is precious:
Robinson, 61, said both Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden will attend the event, and Obama is expected to speak. As for himself, Robinson said he doesn't yet know what he'll say, but he knows he won't use a Bible.
"While that is a holy and sacred text to me, it is not for many Americans," Robinson said. "I will be careful not to be especially Christian in my prayer. This is a prayer for the whole nation."
Mr. Robinson can hardly be “especially Christian” in this prayer or anything else since he clearly has no idea what it means to be a Christian and in flaunting his unrepentant sin he has placed himself outside of the faith and has been a driving force for schism in his denomination, a separation that was long overdue. One can assume that Mr. Robinson rarely appeals to the Bible for much of anything for fear of the condemnation of his sin he finds in its pages. He may find the Bible “holy and sacred” but certainly not in any way binding or convicting of his sins.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. For this reason w God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. (Romans 9: 18-27)

Lovely....:oP

Initial reaction: Punch that guy in the lip.
After the flesh calms: cuff him upside the head and say, "Are you the teacher of Israel and don't know any better than this?"
Joe, if you cuffed a homosexual "Bishop" you would get arrested for a hate crime. Plus your reference would no doubt be lost on this guy, I am guessing he hasn't cracked a Bible open for decades.
