Actually I don't, I hate Thursdays at uni though, which is essentially the "play crappy music very loudly" day. Sometimes we luck out and get the Cure, other times we lose and get random bad dance music. Like today. At least the Chinese music you could put earphones on and listen to something else over the top of :-(

I was quite stunned by this article where a senior Anglican minister wrote to Justice Michael Kirby (of whom I suspect you may recall I am something of a fan) telling him to repent his wicked wicked ways. The letters (PDF) in particular are really quite an amazing read. I think Justice Kirby was quite restrained in his responses given the tone of the letters sent to him, which is to his credit (although he possibly loses a point by invoking Godwin's Law, but let's not make too light on what is a serious subject).

I'm not Christian but it really is some of these selected interpretations that suit peoples' particular prejudices that makes me abhor the church as an institution. No Christians today believe the world is flat, or that adulterers should be stoned (along with many other now-considered "over the top" reactions to things), so why should they make an exception for treatment of homosexuality, which is something that is now well-accepted by science as not being a "choice" as many homophobes would have you believe? It just screams intolerance and exclusion, which is certainly not something that fits in with the doctrines preached by Jesus. I just don't understand how that is reconciled by practising Christians who hold this view.
