It's a huge step up for the context of the community, believe me. This sort of thing was what eventually got my mother-in-law to accept her gay son (a different son, not the one I'm married to, ya wankers.) A pastor told her that all sins were equal in God's eyes, and her sins (for example, gluttony) were just as bad as her son's homosexual "behavior."

Meeting people halfway is a lot more effective than staying put on the other side.

Joel Osteen, IIRC, is the prosperity gospel guy ... his stand on homosexuality has more to do with not wanting to offend his customer base than it does with his adherence to biblical teaching.

As far as I understand it, the Prosperity Gospel is a Christianized version of The Secret.
