First of all, the Church is not a platform for the discussion Community and Social issues. The pulpit is for the ministering of God's Word. God's Word covers all social issues, and how to deal with them. God is bigger then rascism. Rev. Sharpton is woefully ignorant of the true nature and mission of the Church. Now, there is a time and place for that in ministry, but its not a place of blaming the Governtment. When social issues are dicussed in the pulpit, it should be to show and tell the masses how God views the issue and His solution to it. Oh, and it is written in Levitus !8:22 “Thou shalt not lay with mankind as with womankind, it is an abomination.” God doesn't hate gays, He knows this lifestyle is harmful. So, He loves you enough to tell you that you don't have to live this way. God just wants you to have a better quality of life, and the only way of doing that, is to not have sin in your life.

[...] The Fam If you’re read other’s recaps on South By, you’ll start seeing a theme that most of the quality from this conference is in the margin. Yes, the panels are decent and you get to see your favorite internet star, but for the first time, I got to meet the #blck fam. Not since college, really, has mobbing up to eat, drink, talk, and pontificate about life happened in mass form. Of particular power was the chemistry and love oozing from my gay brethren. I’m so proud of our generation, our open mind, our love, and really enjoyed my time with @corvida, @lynneluvah, and @jbrotherlove. I’m hopeful the b.s. homophobia attached to #blck will cease, especially if we get more push from old heads like Rev. Sharpton. [...]

The good Reverend may be stuck in the past with his tactics, and I used to be a critic as well (I still think he's in the government's pocket). But when I actually started listening to him speak (besides at rallies and stuff) on the radio and in interviews, he's actually a very profound and knowledgeable cat. I think the best thing he can do is serve as a mentor to a new generation of leaders and fade back. People are tired of seeing him in the limelight, but he has a lot of wisdom to offer.

Indeed… Sharpton's words were profound and on point. This should get interesting.
