It makes it harder to find a church...

when many Christians are doing things like this...

Christian Conservative groups have issued a gay alert warning over a children's video starring SpongeBob SquarePants, Barney and a host of other cartoon favorites.

because

Christian groups however have taken exception to the tolerance pledge on the foundation's Web site which asks people to respect the sexual identity of others along with their abilities, beliefs, culture and race.

Obviously my understanding of Jesus, who respected people despite their moral failings, is not actually correct.

Or maybe Dr. James Dobson is just a legalist:

"Their inclusion of the reference to 'sexual identity" within their 'tolerance pledge' is not only unnecessary but it crosses a moral line," Dr James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family

If intolerance is the goal then you can count me out. Keep up the good work Dobson.

I watched the "We Are Family" video on "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" and there was nothing pro-gay about the piece. Dobson and his ilk are really reachin' this time and are only promoting a hateful agenda.

some people close to the source believe the video was purposely leaked to Dobson for publicity purposes. looks like it worked, eh?
