For as much as I respect the Minority Speaker, her statement reflects theological retardation in the first degree. It shares the same idiocy which afflicts the Westboro Baptist Church congregation which has been banned from protesting at the funerals of the Tucson slain. It is their sacrilegious contention to "know" that God is instigating the murder of "his" own because "he" hates homosexuality. The ultimate sin may well prove to be the claim to know the mind of God.
"I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live..." (Deuteronomy 30:19, NRSV). Murder (of all kinds) is blasphemy! We are the people who know so much about everything that we have declared God dead. Even those who claim that this is not true worship gods of their own contrivance.
Can there be a better time than now to stop the killing? If not, I beg you to tell me when it will be.
