Baptist Site Asks ‘What if Jesus Were Gay?’  Christ was a
secular liberal? Who knew?  With Christians like Zachary Bailes,
who needs secularists? Bailes’ blog post on the Associated
Baptist Press website Jan.16 posed the question, “What if Jesus
were gay?”   In setting the table for the question, Bailes
conflated Christianity with “war, torture, terror, slavery and
annihilation against Jews, Muslims, black Africans, American
Indians and others.” Having established Christianity’s guilt for
so much over the centuries, Bailes turned to lamenting that
Christians who don’t embrace homosexuality do not live out
Jesus’ command to “Love your neighbor.”  The post, which has
already received over 500 likes on Facebook, went even further,
suggesting that to not accept homosexuality means to not love
Jesus. Bailes even changed Jesus’ famous words in Matthew to the
following: “When I was hungry, you fed me; when I was naked, you
clothed me; when I was the homosexual, you welcomed me.”  What
Bailes does here is nothing new
