Video: What Would Jesus Wear?
Oh those silly anti-gay evangelicals and their desire to wear anti-gay tee shirts to churches, schools, and various other locales. This from the reliably silly Church of the Divide:
What is it about their desire to adorn their garments with dogma that makes them so feisty? After all, we don't literally have to wear our desire for equality and religious acceptance on our sleeves in order to justify our positions, as we find actual words and actions to be far more direct that message tees.
But then again, we also don't profess to know how readily Jesus would've called the cops had he been kicked out of a place because of his decision to glue a condemnatory, disruptive piece of parchment to his robe. So really, trying to wrap our mind around persecutory message tees is sort of like trying to find artistic merit in Britney Spears' 2007 VMA performance.

Too cool, thanks for the extra publicity on the video!

Yea, ReliablySerious, because it REALLY helps your cause. That is, of course, if your cause is to connect the dots for the American public that it is your side who so frequently resorts to militancy and extremism.

Utter frustration and defeat was what my partner and I felt after we left the first Evangelical church in 2005. Lamenting over the injustices and questioning the purpose of it all eventually lead us on a deep search for the Truth.
Would we have been treated differently and accepted as part of the church family had we been heterosexual? Would we have had opportunities to minister had we been males in that organization? Would those people have taken time to know us had there been no walls of religious doctrine separating us from them? Sadly, the answer to those questions were YES for both of us.
At this point, however, that was only our assumption and opinion, and not our truth. Neither one of us had ever experienced life as male nor heterosexual. With a burning passion and conviction to find Truth, we embarked on a social experiment to get some answers. Ceil and I would alter our physical appearances and become what we perceived as "acceptable" by church leadership standards. We wanted to see if the Evangelical church would get to know us and connect with us, perhaps even love us, if we looked and acted just like them.
It was unbelievable, some of the things we witnessed and experienced as a man and woman inside the inner circle of a powerful Evangelical church. It's all recorded in the documentary. The most heart-breaking truth we discovered is the fact that many religious leaders in both communities, gay and straight, have lost sight of the most noble purpose of humanity - to build up one another through love.
