In a tearful videotaped message Sunday to his congregation, the senior pastor of a thriving evangelical megachurch in south metro Denver confessed to sexual relations with other men and announced he had voluntarily resigned his pulpit. pageoneq.com/rssfeedstuff/index.php?id=9989

If he knew something was different since he was 5, then he was genetically prone to this..God isn't going to "take it away".... I feel for him having to live his life this way all these years, what a terrible struggle he has had to endure. I wish him well.

It's just as well, I suspect. He probably missed his calling, anyway. He'll probably make a great interior designer, makeup artist, or French Poodle groomer. Peace, OHD

When you sin, you get kicked out. A gay guy has no business being in a leadership position in a church. I feel for his family. He had many years to deal with his sin. He chose not to. God holds the leaders of the church to a higher standard then others. They are the called of God. This man knew it was wrong but did not change his behavior.

People used to think menstruation was a sign that women were evil. It's still called "The Curse", after all. Women were considered unclean and weren't allowed to participate in community activities while menstruating. Of course, we know this is a normal function of the female body. It's natural and genetic (in that ONLY women menstruate). So how long will it be before the world understand that -being- homosexual is not a sin, but something they cannot help any more than having green eyes? Whether you believe that -acting- homosexual is a sin or not is a personal decision. But you shouldn't condemn someone for -being- homosexual.
