Mary was the mother of Jesus, NOT a Surrogate mother. God was the father. Joseph was the foster father, not the father. Joseph did not carry the baby Jesus in any part of his body, Mary carried the baby in her womb. Where did you learn this distorted misinterpretation of the Holy Birth, in a Metropolitan Community Church service, or from "Queering Christ?" I cannot see that your statement was made in a not disrespectful manor, and that is most unlike you. I know that you get angry when any heterosexual Christian says that the Bible says that homosexual behavior is a sin, and consider it to be hate speech.I cannot imagine that any Christian would considers what you posted to be lovingly presented.

NPP - I will apologize again. Humor, even when it is intended to make us think, always runs the risk of offending someone.
And while I didn't intend it to be lovingly presented, I didn't mean to be overtly disrespectful either.
What I did mean to say is that Christian worship is centered around a family structure that is distinctly not "normal". I ONLY find this offensive when it is used to disregard and demean the many loving same-sex couples who are trying to raise their children in a loving, stable home.
