And even if Jesus *did* say something about it (and he didn't), who gives a shit? That was then, this is now, and Mars Hill is not in the business of following reason.
They make a big deal out of having never sposnored a political cause or candidate. They're not doing that out of the kindness of their heart; they're doing it because to do so would remove their tax exempt status.
Oh, and they also try and put themselves somewhere 'middle of the road' because the WBC protested them. The WBC is not indicitave of anything other than trolling and media-whoring.
Other fun issues to examine with Mars Hill Church is their complete lack of women in leadership roles (they have a few female deacons, but traditionally deacons are volunteer positions and not in a position of leadership within the organization [think sergeants as opposed to lieutenants]). So not only are these dingleberries homophobic, they're misogynistic. Great; this really what Portland needs. How long till we find some old LDS-style racism within their organization?
This whole "oversexed" concept I just don't get. If you're truly oversexed you fall asleep or get too sore to continue. Besides, I think there's a lot more talking about sex, thinking about sex, singing about sex, and selling with sex than there is actual sex going on in this country.*
Does 2000 years count as "thousands" or hundreds. Because that felt a little hyperbolic on his part, almost trying to make Christianity sound older than it is

Ignore them and they'll go away.
