Texas congregation acted out of principle, not malice, pastor says

ARLINGTON, Texas - A megachurch canceled a memorial service for a Navy veteran 24 hours before it was to start because the deceased was gay.

Officials at the nondenominational High Point Church knew that Cecil Howard Sinclair was gay when they offered to host his service, said his sister, Kathleen Wright. But after his obituary listed his life partner as one of his survivors, she said, it was called off.

Kind of a shit deal. I wonder if the church would host a funeral for a man killed while robbing a bank. Do they condone that lifestyle? They should have a questionaire to be filled out before they offer to host a funeral if they are going to exclude any group.

Gays, Lesbians are out.

Crack whores are in.

Child molesters are out.

Rapists are subject to further scrutiny. How old was the victim? How was she dressed? Was the rapist drunk?

I wonder where rednecks are on the list.

If I am robbed by a group consisting of a gay, a child molester, a crack whore, a liberal and a preacher......guess which one I am going to shoot first?

Never mind that was too easy. Take the liberal out of the equation. Now guess which one I would shoot first?

Answer: The one on the left.

The reason is: I prefer to shoot left to right and I have plenty of ammo. :lol:

If you find God, all of a sudden, all the above is ok

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
