Nevertheless, I have heard too many people gloating over his demise. This was a human being with a family and friends who has become publicly embarrassed because in some law enforcement officer who was lurking in a public restroom believed he was sending the wrong "signals." I am not for public sex acts in the restrooms where people of all ages are allowed to enter presumably to take care of business. However, I don't think simply "signally" interest is a crime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23020174.post-78763678016893971682007-09-02T17:30:00.000-04:002007-09-02T17:30:00.000-04:00"And surely it's time for politicians who struggle..."And surely it's time for politicians who struggle with their own sexuality to stop trying to legislate the sexuality of others." <BR/><BR/>I would go even further and say that politicians should stop trying to legislate the sexuality of others regardless of whether or not they struggle with their own. It only reflects a terrible fear of other peoples sexuality, as if other peoples sexual choices are what is going to drag this country down. <BR/><BR/>I don't want to sully my Sunday by going there right now, but I hope people will consider what Jesus emphasized (Loving God and loving each other.) As has been pointed out previously, Jesus did NOT put a lot of emphasis on sexuality. He sent that woman that the Pharisees wanted so badly to stone, home to "sin no more." <BR/><BR/>For better or worse, Senator Craig's political career seems to be over. But I would bet my soul that Jesus would sit with him and offer up some sort of compassionate support. Can the Chistian church do that, as well.Tom Richiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167839988812365255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23020174.post-1877547769529755932007-09-02T15:29:00.000-04:002007-09-02T15:29:00.000-04:00You're right Rev.
