Having wealth and squishy soft/revisionist views on Christian sexual ethics seem to go hand in hand.BearTruth13 said:I liked how she made several tweets about the evils of Christians and wealth while she is neighbors with Scott Drew.D.

When Baylor chooses to deny health insurance coverage to same-sex spouses because it does not believe it reflects the Biblical view of marriage, I assume Baylor also denies coverage to previously-divorced spouses as well. Surely.
The overarching point of my tweet was to point out the hypocrisy of Baylor people who would justify extrajudicial murder by blaming the victim but then use Jesus and the Bible to justify exclusion.
Baylor doesn't have to condone homosexuality, and Baylor doesn't have to recognize homesexual marriages. I just think it's crappy policy for a Christian institution to tacitly say to people "We think you are sinning and will probably suffer eternal damnation THEREFORE we are going to make sure we don't provide you with healthcare coverage that would enable you to live a longer life and have more time to repent."
I'll get back to tweeting, now (which takes mere seconds), and leave the message board rants to y'all. Also, I have one son and one daughter, and I appreciate the implication that the sole purpose of my existence is to engage with them and stay off the internet EVEN WHEN they're asleep or at school.
Earlier you said that Baylor didn't have to condone same-sex marriage to provide spousal benefits to same-sex couples. For Baylor to provide spousal benefits for same-sex couples would require them to condone those relationships. That's what "condone" means.
Good luck with your Tweeting. I hope that it brings you the fulfilment you seek.
Never heard any girls in my small and economically poor hometown make excuses for how homosexuality or other sexual vices where ok morally.
Soon as I got to Baylor and was around rich girls from DWF/Houston the "oh so you think homosexuality is morally wrong? What are you some kind of backwards bigot?" stuff started to come out.
A lot of rich pampered white girls get extremely offended if you don't tow the modern liberal line about sexuality.
