I would not want anyone that stupid in charge of firearms.

Generally, I would prefer that you do as Jarred suggested and either reference the article or quote from it and include a link back to Box Turtle Bulletin.

However in this particular instance, you have my permission to post the entire article provided that you give appropriate credit, note that it is from BTB and provide a link back.

Thanks,

Timothy

(this is a one-time exception, folks, not a new policy.)

Obviously, the choice of whether to let you repost his article in its entirety is his and his alone to make. However, as a long-standing blogger myself, the more common practice would be to post a link to the article here, along with a small extract to whet your own readership’s interest in the article.

I agree with your points, but I’d also emphasize the phrase “do not permit same-sex unions” as well. Because let’s face it, they’re not talking about their wish to not perform same-sex unions themselves. They don’t want to permit same sex unions at all. They don’t want the county clerk to perform them. They don’t want the MCC minister down the street to perform them. They don’t want my friend — a Wiccan High Priestess — to perform them. They want their “personal conscience” to become the law of the land that everyone has to bow to, regardless of other people’s personal conscience. This alone turns all their appeals to “religious freedom” on their heads and exposes them for the lies they are.

Would you consider becoming a member of the following website and posting this essay there as a blog ??

If not, is it OK if I post it there as is?

Two things strike me as amazing. Firstly that Southern Baptist identity is clearly linked with anti-gay animus. We’ve seen this in their kicking-out of gay-neutral churches. It’s not enough to think gays are sinful, you also have to not-associate with gays in order to be Southern Baptist.

The second amazing thing is how they have to through the adjective “unsafe” in there. They just can’t help themselves! They have to push their pseudo-science. I guess it helps them fall asleep at night if they think we’re harming ourselves.

With a grand total of 28 churches in the United States, I’m wondering just how significant Grace Churches Intenational is to the overall chaplaincy program. I wonder if they even have a single chaplain that they sponsor.
