"Real Christians Don't Gay Bash"

I ran across this wonderful column on The Huffington Post written by Rev. Jim Rigby, the pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas. The title pretty well tells you what he is trying to say. He writes:

"Not that long ago, it was considered consistent to be a Christian, and yet, hold slaves.
The day came when slavery was understood as an affront to the gospel itself. I want to suggest that the day has come when Christians must declare that gay bashing is an attack on the gospel and that real Christians do not participate in any form of discrimination."

He closes by writing, "If Christianity is love, then cruelty is the ultimate heresy."

Amen to that, Rev. Rigby! I would emphasize that even more then the cruelty is done in God's name.
