Gay Bishop Comes Up With the Worst Argument to Support Same-Sex Marriage

8. The Bishop isn't talking to us

He's talking to religious people who do ponder the religious and theistic implications on how they see the world.

The author badly misfires here. She's an atheist. Wonderful. I'm a deist/agnostic who gives very little thought to religion. Neither of us are in Robinson's audience here.

I don't get why this author feels the need to throw rotten fruit his way.

I can sum up this article in one sentence. "I'm an atheist and don't want theism involved in public policy discussions." Well, that's very special. Meanwhile, the rest of us understand that to achieve civil rights in this country, we need to involve and speak to as broad an audience as humanly possible to get as many people as we can on our side, on history's side.

The vast majority of America is religious. In that vein, Robinson is doing his bit. The author should do her's. Instead, she craps all over a very good man trying to do a very good thing.

In short, comes off as a brat. And her little critique here isn't helping civil equality. Tearing down people working to build bridges is about the least productive thing I can imagine to help our community.
