The Episcopal Church in Savannah has begun to split over the recent events regarding Bishop Robinson. The reason I mention this is that this sort of egocentric entitlement over morality is a habit that dies hard with many literalist Christians. It is very scary and confounding. I am comforted by the newest wave of tolerance that is swelling over this country. We are desperately behind the times in this regard. When I graduated high School in '82, I wish I could have had the option of moving to California and getting married. However, that was fantasy to think of it as being a reality in my lifetime. Well, some fantasies to come true after all. These Congressman are on their way out the door. They know it, they are scared, and can only spew their diatribes as their last dying gasp; really sad for them, great for the country!
