Allow me to start with my conclusion so that when I wind up there at the end, there will be no surprises. The same sex marriage crusade has nothing whatever to do with what people can do sexually in private, and it has everything to do with what you will be allowed to say about …
An Important Art Form Actually
“He stood there, looking as solemn as a judge, for which the girls were thoroughly grateful. He attended a small charismatic church in the area, and for him, dealing with overshare was a way of life, an art form” (Evangellyfish, p. 109).
One Is Enough
It is remarkable how many places in Scripture emphasize that women are to be submissive to their own husbands. What this means is liberation from having to submit to all the others” (For a Glory and a Covering, p. 64).
