There’s a lot of huff and puff over the Miss America “gay marriage” question. During the competition, Miss California, Carrie Prejean, was essentially asked her position on same-sex marriage. Her answer brought adulation from the Christian community. She defended the faith on a national stage. It was a, “In your face, liberal America,” moment. But, that victory was short-lived as photos of a semi-nude Prejean were discovered days later.
Not only did the topless pics cloud her pure image, but she apparently lied to contest officials when she said no such photos existed. She was in jeopardy of losing her title and pretty much embarrassed herself.
Prejean now joins the long line of outspoken Christians who look like judgmental, self-righteous hypocrites. It’s the “Half On the Gospel” syndrome where Christians know the limits for others, but miss Scriptures concerning their own issues. Did she not know it was wrong to lie or pose nude?
Of the photos, Carrie said she’s a model and models pose in swimsuits. Well Ms. Prejean, models might do a whole lot of stuff, but Christians don’t, especially those who have an ounce of integrity. Lies, soft porn and hypocrisy. I’m more upset at this than I am at a gay person trying to get married. Hypocrisy is what we should be protesting.
I’m not trying to judge anyone. Trust me, I’ve got my own issues to deal with. But I’ve just about had it with public figures who proclaim holiness and yet live like the rest of the world.
We need to put some things in reverse order. Try living it before you preach it.
