Obama wimps out by including Gay bishop


An openly gay bishop will deliver a prayer for President-elect Barack Obama in an inauguration event on Sunday that could help defuse controversy over an anti-gay pastor who will give the main invocation.

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." (source)(source)

Since the Bible and most major religions consider homosexuality to be abnormal and immoral, it is clear that Robinson already doesn’t use the Bible. And when one politely states that religious belief, it is not homophobic.

This is still a Christian nation and the prayers are constitutional since there is no separation of church and state.
