Deborah Gyapong: David Cameron. Conservative?

David Cameron. Conservative?

Ruth Gledhill writes:

Tory leader David Cameron has launched an astonishing attack on the Church of England over its attitudes to homosexuality. In an interview with the gay magazine Attitude, Cameron tells award-winning journalist Johann Hari that 'our Lord Jesus' would back equality and gay rights if he were around today. He says he doesn't want to get into a row with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams. 'But I think the Church has to do some of the things that the Conservative Party has been through - sorting this issue out and recognising that full equality is a bottom line full essential.' He also introduces a new phrase to the English language, one that might be current in High Tory circles but not one I've heard before, in reference to Muslim women: 'Blowing the hijab off them.'

Ho ho. And we all thought he was a politician.

Our Lord Jesus would call us all to die to our sin natures so that we can receive our new nature in Him. As we die with him in baptism, we rise with Him in new life. Chastity is a hallmark of our new identity, whether married or single.

Too bad David Cameron failed Sunday school. What a terrible pass he puts real conservatives in. I could never vote for someone like this.
