Oh, The Irony...

[A commentary about Barack Obama's support for civil unions, which Mr. Obama believes the sermon on the mount justifies]

Pastor John Barner, manager of pastoral care at Focus on the Family, said: "We are always saddened as evangelical Christians when others who identify themselves as Christians do not have the high view of Scripture that we believe is so important. We believe isolated portions of Scripture should not be used to justify a personal preference or a social position that goes in a different direction than the overall message of Scripture.

Let's check this one, folks.  Focus on the Family is telling us not to cherry-pick passages from the Bible. 

Excuse me, I have to go laugh my ass off.

If anyone was suffering from an irony deficiency, you should be fine now.

No doubt, wow.

Oh yeah. It's like the sedevacantists and right-wing near-schismatics who point fingers at us and call us "Cafeteria Catholics".

They're the only ones who get to cherry-pick, the rest of us aren't qualified or "right with God" enough to do so. They can bite my shiny metal rat butt.

Happily, I am Lutheran

Well, they're still right... "Scripture interprets scripture"

Whether or not that applies to anything Mr. Obama has said recently, would have to involve me reading/listening to stump speeches (his included)
