In case anyone's not familiar with Carrie Prejean's story:
She was Miss California, as a finalist in the Miss USA pageant. It was time for The Question. This question came from gay activist, and pageant judge, Perez Hilton. He asked her if she thought all states should legalize same-sex marriage. Her answer: she thinks it's great that in America you can choose between same-sex or opposite-sex marriage -- but she thinks it should be between a man and a woman. (Uh. OK.)
Now, I'll go on record and say that Perez's reaction in the days to follow were uncalled for. He viciously and profanely attacked Carrie. It was disgusting. And, in fact, I have no problem with her giving her opinion, and I don't think it should have (if it did) cost her the pageant crown. (She came in second!) But the oddness of her answer (seemingly changing direction, mid-answer) and the wacky bragging were, well, pretty weird, too. (Maybe the weirdness of the answer was a factor. And maybe that's justified. Dunno.)

Well, they are probably the same types who rejoice in singing about bobbed hair women going to hell as well.
Those adults should have someone take them to the woodshed for teaching that little boy so much bigotry and hate. It's inexcusable.
Jesus Christ would never sing that type of song. He gave the rich young ruler time to figure out what was in his own heart and recognized that the adultress woman was not the hypocrite, although admonishing her to sin no more.
Ruin? I don't think so. Force accountability and maturity? Maybe.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
I do not understand why any church would encourage the singing of this type song by anyone, much less children. It doesn't edify or uplift anyone.
However, I refuse to jump on the bandwagon and demonize this church for teaching these kids that sin is sin. My son is 6. He already knows that wrong is wrong. When he startes hearing in public school that homsexuality is ok, he will hear very clearly from home that it is no ok. It is an abomination and will land a soul in hell.
I'm tired of practitioners of perversion getting to trumpet their sickening lifestyle all over, but the inute any Christians stands up to them they get deomonized, sadly by others who are supposedly Christian as well.
