Miss California lost the crown of Miss USA over her belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Sigh. Same old stuff. But someone poked a bit and came up with an intriguing and important question. Carrie Prejean, Miss California, belongs to The Rock Church of San Diego. Prominently displayed on the church's website are reasons why the church opposes gays. I don't dare look myself, so I don't know what scriptural justifications they use, if any. But our intrepid reporter lists all the justifications supported by junk science -- that is "findings" from scientific inquiry that use methods with serious flaws or reports from researchers that have been thoroughly discredited. So the question: If a person were to infer bogus claims about the African-American community and backed it up with junk science, that person would have no credibility. They would justifiably be vilified. Why can churches say corresponding things about gays without fear of reprisal?
Fortunately, that question is not quite correct. Increasingly, churches are facing reprisal, starting with Miss California. Alas, it isn't the mainstream media that's doing it.
