“Under Pressure, Rick Warren Condemns Uganda Anti-Gay Bill.”
Why so much trouble? Isn’t there, like, a commandment against murder?
Still, I suppose it’s progress. Now if we could just get the Congressional Christian Caucus — the ominously-named “Family” — to come out against murder, we’ll be making real progress.

It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

Not only no doubt, apparently no shame, no blushing — and no Christian thought or compassion.

No, there is no doubt about their involvement. Evangelical Christian leaders from the United States were over in Uganda just as they, meaning the Uganda government, made that announcement.
And I was being dead on serious in what I said originally…that some of them want to do the same here. They are to Christianity what the Taliban is to Islam, of that there is no doubt.

I’m losing meaning in this thread. Is there some doubt abut The Family’s activities in Uganda, as documented in Mr. Sharlet’s book? (Granting that Rev. Hipple’s quote is made-up). Having heard Mr. Sharlet interviewed on Fresh Air and other talk shows, I found myself more concerned about the intentions and influence of The Family than I am of Al Qeda.

The sad thing is that there are people in this country who think exactly like what Rev Hipple said, except they mean it seriously.

I worry sometimes about parody that is so subtle that the average redneck won’t realize it’s parody, Rev. Hipple.

Y’all must not get out much
“The Family” has participated directly and proudly in crafting the proposed Ugandan law. We are using Uganda as an incubator to test ideas on how to properly conduct gay homo cleansing programs and rid Our Dominion thereof. Barry Soeterror Hussein Obama is powerless to stop Us.

Nah, that won’t happen.
Because quite a few Christian evangelical neoconservatives would dearly love to do here what Uganda is proposing.
