rick brought to my attention another recent online skirmish over the homosexuality issue. you can follow his blog for the details, but the basics are that brian mclaren DIDN'T condemn homosexuality, and therefore invited loads of bible-beating in the name of "truth".
i've been perusing the blogosphere over the past few years, and have come across some truly aweful forms of attack that are all cast in a christian skin. from anonymous comments on blogs, to other embodiments of poison such as emergentno. all of this behavior, to which i have not abstained at times, is very hard to reconcile with Jesus telling us to love one another. it saddens me, and further comfirms my own tendency to not look to the christian church for spiritual leadership. it really breaks my heart to see people treating each other like this, all in the name of Jesus. and this vitriolic attitude exists on both sides of the issues. until we learn to respond in love, we will not only get nowhere, but will continue making the situation worse.
