Dallas pastor stands up for gays and the President (TP)

This is from Think Progress. It's a little old but recent. If it's a double post I apologize. The pastor gives an impassioned plea to his congregants, telling them that the President is not a pastor and must follow the Constitution, not the Bible.

"Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."

So, so, so, so true.

This man puts my faith in religion back in the column of respectful.

Born and raised Catholic....ALWAYS believed in my Christian doctrine, but I've lost my faith in Catholicism, and I have come to loathe the evangelical self-righteous, pious and mighty who condemn others and cast stones that they KNOW damn good and well that Jesus warned them of doing.
Bless this man for his courage and his wisdom. I just wish there were more that would be willing to step aside from the evangelical fruit-cake hypocrite wagon once in awhile. I'm sure many Muslims feel the same way, eh?
