hy Gays (as a Group) Are Morally Superior to Christians (as a Group)11/22/2005 00:57:41I take my title from the Stanley Hauerwas essay by that name. This is not exactly along those lines but close to them. A reminder of how the ancient holy paradigms occur and occur and are not ancient but brand new. Tonight I went with a friend to protest the Buju Banton concert here... a Jamaican musician who talks about killing gay men. The protest was mostly a line of polite people walking in a circle across the street from the concert. Bob Marley was playing on their stereo-- do you remember the days when reggae was nice? They might say. Christians among them. But my friend was not with them, he was a block away walking up to people going into the place, being that guy who puts himself in your face on the street and tells you that you are participating in injustice and tells you the mere facts that cry out like wails, tears, and prayers. He got yelled at and things, and was ready for worse. And he treated people equally because all of them were ticket buyers just the same. Their participation was equal. Well it was just a little thing, you see it all the time. But it was martyrdom. We are dying all the time. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
