Is it worse to be the hypocritical head of the Episcopal Church or
be an up front homosexual that has a sense of equality?

1. Umm... what?
Do you mean to say that the new Presiding Bishop is a hypocrite? In what way? From everything I've heard of her, Bishop Schori is anything but.

6. You specifically mentioned the Episcopal Church
To my knowledge, Haggard has absolutely no connection with them. His brand of Talibangelicalism has usually been hostile to the Episcopal Church.

I'm still not understanding what you are trying to say.

2. Is this a hypothetical question
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 04:32 PM by cosmik debris
Or do you have specific people in mind? If it is the latter, please specify.

Edit: There is nothing wrong with being an up front homosexual with a sense of equality. Your question doesn't seem to make sense to me.

5. Yeah, what the hell are you talking about?
I've never heard any rumors that Frank Griswold (current presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church for the next few days) might be gay, and I'm pretty sure Katherine Jefferts-Schori, the presiding bishop-elect, isn't, because I knew her slightly when I lived in Oregon and her husband was a colleague of my then-S.O.

10. Prima fascie evidence
that the OP has no idea what he's talking about. A fizzled attempt at flamebait.
