  Cavan: One out of two ain't too good.
  

• Revealed: Carrie Prejean Nude Photos!!! (9/1/2009)

  > Why does coming out against gay marriage automatically make > Carrie Prejean into a Christian role model? It doesn't. It makes her a Christian expressing a particular belief on a particular subject--a reasonable one, but still a viewpoint. It's natural that those in agreement will want to make the most of her public image and prominence to amplify the viewpoint. A role model is not the same thing. And it's not just conservative Christians, though they are probably the ones most inclined to be vociferous about it. California's Proposition 8 passed, if narrowly. The state does not have a population of over 50% "conservative Christians." > Does stating that one belief - which no one denies she > has a right to hold - instantly excuse her from > following biblical values/passages in other aspects of life? Of course it doesn't. The problem in this is not her failure to "follow... Biblical passages." It is your clearly uninformed conclusion that she is. Before you conclude these things, be sure you know the whole story. Extracting a passage here and there from the Bible that seems, out of context, to support that conclusion is bogus. Not that I'm drawing a parallel, just an illustration, but the 9/11 extremists justified their behavior in part by believing the parts of the Koran (spelling?) that suited them and conveniently ignoring the ones that don't. There are plenty of people, Christians and others, who indulge that kind of selectivity, and it's dangerous.
  

• Great Values, Looks (9/1/2009)

  > No one doubts that Carrie Prejean is very good looking. > We just doubt that she belongs as a Christian role model. And I just doubt that you know enough about Christianity--the real thing, not the picture painted by a few noisy hyperconservatives--to know.
