The Disney organization criticized the Florida war on gay people.
   And a certain governor declared war on Disney.
   But Disney seems to be winning. The governor is no match for The Mouse.
   Just after the governor announced he may, for spite, build a prison right nest to Disney World, the Disney people announced a new LGBTQ event at the theme park.
   The Mouse is roaring.
   God bless The Mouse!
   This is really the last hurrah, you know.
   Prejudice is aging.
   Younger generations are free from the old hatreds and fears.
   It’s mostly older church folk still being nasty to the neighbor, mostly those raised on “inerrantism.” 
   That’s the belief that the Bible is without error, cover to cover. All scripture carries the same authority. Deuteronomy is as important as Matthew.
   So, you can choose your image of God from a thousand years of writings.
   Choose the God we know in Christ who loves even his enemies or choose the God who hates and kills the Amalekites.
   Inerrantists can be as ugly as they want to be. 
   An inerrantist reading of the Bible can make people meaner than they would be without the Bible.
   Sadly, many young people who reject the old hatreds also reject the Church and Jesus Christ.
   They think Christians are ignorant and unkind.
   We must let them know better: Christians who truly know The Lamb—are on the side with The Mouse.
