God is Watching

If the Cranmer photo doesn't clue you in, I'm Episcopalian. My church's number one issue is whether homosexuals should get married. Here's a story about a true injustice:

Now that you have wiped the vomit off your shirt, consider how white, middle class, American, and effete we are. We live in a country in which women and children are abused, neighborhoods are ravaged by drug abuse and crime, and people lose their jobs and homes so shareholders' stock values can be maximized. As you read this, children in China are making the crap you will buy in Wal-Mart in a few weeks, and a Mexican is cleaning your office and not being paid overtime. Right now, there are political prisoners languishing in Tibetan, Cuban and Burmese jails. Tomorrow, innocent people will be slaughtered in Darfur and Iraq. And we are worried about whether homosexuals can be "married" in San Francisco?

We all are given the gift of one life, and we will have to answer for the use we have made of it. There are plenty of real injustices in this world, and anyone who believes he was put here to help homosexuals get "married" is not paying attention.
