Let me address my accusers directly. Be warned: If you come to me as a Guardian of Biblical Authority, demanding to know why I do not join you in biblically condemning homosexuals, I will before answering you look at your shoes. Are they practical and well-worn? Are they your only pair? They had better be. Because unless your shoes provide evidence of the reckless generosity unambiguously commanded throughout that same Bible you insist must be used to condemn our GLBT neighbors, then I’m not sure you really understand — or much care about — the “authority of the scriptures.” Unless you exhibit a personal poverty commensurate with the chastity you insist from others, then I don’t believe that you believe what you’re saying.
