| ...Methodists in Northern Illinois says it's time their church pastors and Sunday school classes started teaching that homosexuality is accepted by God. During their recent state convention, the Northern Illinois United Methodists passed a resolution calling homosexual relations "an expression of God's love" and condemning those who oppose not only homosexuality, but also bisexual and transgendered lifestyles. The Illinois Conference falls under the jurisdiction of controversial United Methodist Bishop Joseph Sprague, who among other things has openly questioned the deity of Jesus Christ. The Illinois Leader newspaper quotes pro-family advocate Dr. Paul Cameron of the Family Research Institute, who questions whether the Methodist delegates are ignorant of the facts about the dangers of the homosexual lifestyle -- including reduced life expectancy and violence within such relationships. As Cameron put it: "I would not entrust my or my child's religious life to those following a religion that ignores the Bible." | ||||||
