Jesus told her to go and sin no more!!” Pathetic.

To repeat a gag I recently coined about the Sydney Anglicans, these guys would have you believe that the parable of the good Samaritan was not a statement about prejudice and anti-discimination in general, they reckon it was literally contained to refer only to Samaritans.

There are many religious people in most denominations who support marriage equality and gay/trans rights more broadly. What is the ACL doing to represent this significant group? Not a majority perhaps in the case of some major churches but certainly a substantial proportion of the congregation in many.
