This really is one of the "You're either with us or against us" things for christians. I can see why christians think it's wrong since it says so in the Bible. What I can't grasp is why it's wrong, other than it's in the bible. I guess I'm not a christian anymore because there were just to many of those questions and I can't accept "Because it's in the bible".
Another related debate is is homosexuality a choice? I can't possibly fathom why I'd ever want to sleep with another man. However a homosexual wants to be with a woman as much as I want to be with a man, or to say not at all. The desire just isn't there for them, just as we have no desire to sleep with people of the same sex. It's almost like calling somebody a sinner because they like the color green instead of blue.
So if they already have gay bishops and elect an openly gay bishop would that make their church unfit to lead people? Or is it a non issue since we're all sinners? I'm sure all those other bishops have some other sin that they repeat, we all do. Can you really not elect somebody because they sin differently than you?
