Prejean Losing Pulpit As Sex Tape Scandal Thickens |
Miss California Stars In Anti-Gay Marriage Ad |

At least that what some teens are being charged with for sexting.
'Prejean Behind Bars' ... coming soon (so to speak) to pay-per-view TV this Spring in a hotel near you.

I don't think that's fair. One can support waiting for sex until marriage (the viewpoint most associated with evangelicals) and still be honest about and unafraid of sex.
In an article on this topic, an evangelical pastor named Wirth talked about the book of the Bible called Song of Songs, which is quite sexual and beautiful, and then said, "I don't think sex was created in the back alleys of the porn industry. I really think God is the one who designed it and it's a beautiful thing and God wants us to enjoy it."

and im familiar with the song of songs. but im sure that pastor only finds certain types of sexual relationships in certain contexts to be beautiful, ie. monogamous, heterosexual sex within the confines of marriage.

i don't mean to say that anyone's totally right here- i'm just trying to add some nuance to the way we view evangelical culture.

Oh. It's the half-wheel of Brie I ate for lunch. Never mind.
Yep, no sympathy from me.

As for the comparison to Ensign, Sanford, Gingrich--I don't give a fuck if they want to be adulterers with loose morals. I've never cared about the philandering of politicians. What do I care is that they not act like paragons of good values and morals when they're not. I do care when they think they have the right to judge others when they are truly no better, and often times, infinitely worse.

But the adage about glass houses and stones isn't an adage for nothing. When you judge so fiercely and loudly, then you better make damn sure you're not just a hypocrite with an agenda and a book to shill. 'Cause you make yourself plenty of enemies with plenty of daggers. And you will reap what you sow.

But karma is a bitch. The thing is, it's biting her in the ass now. The tape doesn't need to be released--merely the presence of the tape is enough to identify her as a hypocrite. So I hope it never gets released.

A man-about-town celebrity journalist craving legitimacy leverages his career for the story of a lifetime : An five-part interview with the Fallen Beacon of the Silent Majority.
"I gave 'em a sex tape. And they stuck it in their dvd players, and they replayed it with relish. And I guess if I had been in their position, I'd have done the same thing."
also:
"If the beauty queen does it, that means it's not immoral!"

And then she can take her place on the ZZZ-list alongside fellow Christocelebs Kirk Cameron and Stephen Baldwin.

We need to get over this idea that having a sex tape is somehow scandalous or immoral. People have sex. Sometimes, this causes them to not think rationally. It happens.

That is why she lost her moral high ground. And it is hypocritical to use the Bible as a weapon one second, and then to ignore it the next when it suits your own purposes.
I agree with you that according to MY morals she did nothing wrong. But we're talking about according to HER morals. According to HER morals, she is absolutely a hypocrite.

Also it's been said that nowhere in the bible does it state that homosexuality is a sin or that Jesus hated homosexuals. I think. I realize this may not be helpful but I wanted to put that out there- dang being at work prevents me from citing my sources!

I tend to think masturbation, and sex in general, was way down on Jesus' priority list, and the obsession with sexual purity as being central to Christianity is bizarre and harmful.
