What Happens When Someone Doesn't Agree?!

Right now the first 3 months of Revolver (formerly The Soapbox) are making their way around a girls dorm at a College in Massachusetts as a proof-reading and feedback project. Evidently, it's creating quite a bit of controversy. And now doubt, some of those girls now log into this very page to see what I have to say.

They read my works and then discuss it at Dinner. Ok. Never thought of myself as dinner conversation BUT... I know the question has been asked - "What if someone doesn't agree?" Well, I thought people simply bowed down and worshiped at the throne of Vince Wylde...

Ok. Fair enough question. As a radio personality I know I'm not always right. And I have to be open to other viewpoints if I'm going to make a show out of it. But I will never agree with someone when the topic is a challenge to my own personal morals or beliefs. One of the topics that created intense controversy was my attacking the Episcopalian church for electing a gay minister. As a Christian, this challenges what I know about the church. It's making a compromise via the bible - and if you call yourself a God-fearing organization, you cannot do this.

I do not hate gays, nor do I break out the shovel and go gay hunting on weekends. It isn't like that. I believe like it or not, they are integrating our society and we can either accept it or lose our minds, commit ugly hate crimes, and ultimately, land in prison.

What I do have a problem with is them trying to change what the bible says which I quoted. For note it was, 1Co 6:9 Don't you know that wicked people won't inherit the kingdom of God? Stop deceiving yourselves! People who continue to commit sexual sins, who worship false gods, those who commit adultery, homosexuals,
1Co 6:10 or thieves, those who are greedy or drunk, who use abusive language, or who rob people will not inherit the kingdom of God.

My argument is completely logical. If the handbook for an organization says, "When you come to work, please be dressed in the company uniform," then everyone will comply. Unlike long hair and fast food, this is not sex discrimination, it's a team policy to get everyone to look like they are working together.

As such, you cannot expect a religious order to rip pages out of a writing that is a total of 10,000 years old. If you passed the Christian bible around the country to do this very thing, you would have an empty book when it came back. If you do any of these things, you compromise your own faith.

That was my point, and unless I'm being misled by my readings and insight, it's very hard to argue with it.
