"A group of 80 pastors opposed to the ordinance reportedly held an emergency meeting this week at Plano's Prestonwood Baptist Church..."

A few years ago "The Rev." Fred Phelps and his little band of bigots held a demonstration in Blacksburg Va, near where I live. One of the things that touched me was that there was a counter demonstration organized and manned by local Christian clergy. They held up signs saying "God hates NO ONE" and "God loves EVERYONE."

I can get down on religion sometimes, but it is nice to know that some Christians have actually taken the message of Jesus to heart.
