As a Baptist who’s singing at circuit party, has Hudson reconciled her spiritual beliefs and her gay fan base? Does she support same-sex marriage?
“Nobody has ever asked me these questions,” she says.
“Everybody sins,” Hudson continues. “No sin is greater or different than the other. To each his own. If it don’t bother Jennifer, then Jennifer don’t mind. I don’t really even think about it because I don’t believe in judging people for what they do.”
When referencing themselves, lots of divas probably do that schizophrenic thing where they toggle between first and third person. But did Hudson just say that being gay is a sin?
“According to the way we’re taught, and what it says in the Bible — it is,” Hudson says.
If her answers didn’t already sound like fundamentalist clichés, Hudson then added, “I have plenty of gay friends.”

Then it sure is a good thing we're not under the law anymore since Jesus's sacrifice, huh?>
RB- THe doctrine of venial and mortal sin is entirely scriptural.
1 John 5:16-17: "If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. "
Both Orthodox and Catholics have held to the doctrine of the differentiation of levels of sin for 2,000 years.>
Well, I certianly won't debate the point. Just know there's plent of folks that don't look at personal correspondence as "Scripture.">
Do you regard collections of correspondence as literature? If not, why not? There are are least a couple millennia of precedence for regarding a person's collected letters as literature -- Cicero's letters, Pliny's letters, Lord Chesterfield's letters to his son, etc., etc.>
Sarah (Mrs. Irani),
"There is some myth running around out there about all of us being islands and the stuff that other people do doesn't affect us. Well, it does.
For example, person x sleeping with his girlfriend doesn't affect me per se, but 2 million people sleeping with their girlfriends makes it a whole hell of a lot harder for me to be chaste AND even harder to teach chastity to my children."
In Parenting 101, you'd learn to tell your child "If 2 million people ran off a cliff, it still wouldn't make it right." You DID take that class, no?
I think ya oughta have to get a license to have children. I really do.>
