What if God was one of Us?
Just a slob like one of Us?
Just a stranger on a bus, trying to make His way home...

I think you'd like it.

So he believes marriage is anything that man can define? Interesting. I've never thought of looking into chrisitanity. That's a great idea. If Christianity believed in anything goes, why the persecution of the polygamists in Texas by the southern baptists? Or are they not Christian either.

Did Christ tell someone somewhere that they should cease their sinful behavior and sin no more? Or was it........cease your sinful behavior and continue sinning. Um?

Actually, probably not, since that story doesn't appear in the earliest New Testament texts, and was almost certainly inserted by scribes hundreds of years after Christ's death.

I think you're confusing Jesus with Sean Hannity.
