Quote of the Day

I've been watching people with golden crosses around their necks and on their lapels shout at the TV about how serving gay and lesbian people is a violation of their "sincerely-held religious beliefs."  And I can't help but laugh at the sad irony of it.  Two-thousand years ago, Jesus hung from that cross, looked out on the people who put him there and said, "Father, forgive them."  Jesus served sinners all the way to the cross.

-- Rachel Held Evans, "For the sake of the gospel, drop the persecution complex"
