Oprah today (you won't believe it)

My former youth pastor, Brian Dawson, sent me a link via email to a youtube video about Oprah's beliefs that there are multiple means of salvation for everyone and about her support of Eckhart Tolle's new book A New Earth. Here's the link he sent me:

It was really ironic that he sent that because I actually watched a really crazy episode of Oprah today by chance (just so you know, I do not regularly watch The Oprah Show. I have some issues with Oprah). Here's the response I sent back to Brian via email:

It's so ironic that you emailed me that video about Oprah because you wouldn't believe today's show! I was eating supper this afternoon at a country cafe and our waitress could not stop watching the Oprah show on tv. She intrigued me so I watched to see what it was about. They had this man on there who is pregnant! He was there with his wife. I couldn't understand so I kept watching. Come to find out, the man is actually a gay woman who has gone through a sex change and has chosen (as "man" of the relationship) to get pregnant via IVF. Oprah was fully supporting them! Imagine what kind of problems that kid will have! I know that the argument of homosexuals who want to have kids/adopt is that the child will grow up in a loving home (which is probably true). However, love is not all you need. I just know how hard it is to grow up in a functional, straight two-parent, loving Christian home. It would be even that much harder to grow up like this kid will. The kid will be the laughing stock of his/her entire community forever! It's hard enough learning how to be a man/woman today when people have mixed up the roles so much. This world is going to hell in a hand-basket!

Here's a link to today's show:
