Thank you for your recent bloggings showing the reaction to Ms. Cheney’s pregnancy by some Conservative Christians. While I have conflicting feelings towards gay marraige and adoption, I am a Conservative Christian, I have nothing but anger towards the reaction of some of my so-called "conservative Christian" leaders in how they talk about the mother and the child. It is a hard subject for many as myself trying to see the black and white of scripture against what is occurring in reality, but there is no excuse for degradation of Ms. Cheney nor her child.
I guess that is the difference between Conservative and Fundamentalist. As Christians we should treat all others with the respect as human beings, whether we agree with their lifestyle choices or not (whether divorced, drugs, or gay). Fundamentalists seem to think that you are not human unless you adhere to all of the Teachings of GOD and Christ. I am sure that the sinners, tax collectors and prostitutes talked to by Jesus are glad that he didn’t have a similar opinion.
Thank you for your blog, it gives a different perspective to everyone who reads it whether they like it or not.
