I've never been a big fan of Rev. Shapton (let's face it, he needed to cut that process years ago) and I've disagreed with him on numberous occasions. But this past weekend he was the keynote speaker of the Human Rights Ecumenical Service and had this to say regarding the organized faiths that helped both physically and finanically in passing Prop 8 in California:
"There is something immoral and sick about using all of that power to not end brutality and poverty, but to break into people's bedrooms and claim that God sent you." The rest of his speech can be found at http://pageoneq.com/news/2009/sharpton0113.html
