Matthew 22:35-40.

I look upon 35-38 as optional, 39-40 mandatory.

Well, the question was complex/compound, so Brundidge was trying to answer a number of questions at the same time. On the other hand, Brundidge got himself so confused that his answer was muddled, wrong, right, and overall misleading. Of course, what he wanted to say was “Uganda is anti-gay and we (Schmierer/Exodus, Brundidge/Cohen/IHF, Lively/United Homophobes of America) want to keep it that way.”

Interesting that religion gets throroughly wrapped up in some peoples lives and then people demand that their form of religion wrap everyone else up.

Makes me glad I’m an atheist.

I agree with what you said back in March of 2009:

Overall, I am surprised that an Exodus board member would go to a conference like this in a country where criminalization of homosexuality is still an issue. My impression is that Exodus had no position on such things or if there was a position it was that homosexuality should not be considered a crime. For a change, I agree with Exgaywatch that it sends the wrong message for these people to go where the agenda is not simply congruence with religious teaching but also on state intervention in private behavior.

I think this applies to all three and that none of the men have done enough to say directly to the people of Uganda, “We were WRONG”.
