What They Think of Us: Someone Finally Said It Out Loud

Someone finally said it out loud.  So, they think we are bigots.

As I have said repeatedly, this is not, never has been, and never will be a political blog but sometimes my comments may be about subjects which touch on politics.  Recently Leonard Pitts , a columnist for the Miami Herald newspaper, insulted every Christian who opposes same-sex marriage on scriptural grounds.  In criticizing presidential candidate Rick Santorum, Pitts calls Santorum a bigot because of his opposition to same-sex marriage based on "lame arguments built of straw and fear."  In effect, Pitts has said that to hold the position makes one a bigot.  I don't believe that Pitts actually intended to insult such a large group of people although his statements could be viewed as part of the obviously growing secular hostility toward historical Christianity.
