Are God & Christianity Responsible for the Gay Club Shooting in Orlando?

So many questions are floating in the minds and burning into the hearts of Americans everywhere regarding the recent shooting by a Muslim man in Orlando, FL. Some people are flying rainbow flags in solidarity with the LGBQT community while some Christians are saying what happened was the judgement of God. And just last night, a cousin of mine informed me that “In the U.S., most violence on the gay community is perpetrated by Christians.” There is obviously some confusion on this point (to say the least), so allow me to clarify.

Open Letter to the Producers of Preachers of L.A.

Dear Producers of Preachers L.A.,

We need to talk. Seriously. First let me say, I AM a fan of the show. I watch avidly and will be conducting a written commentary (NOT a gossip column!) on this season for GospelToday.com for the sake of starting a positive, much-needed dialogue, so stay tuned if you so choose. And while I would not go so far to say that Preachers of L.A. is a “God idea,” it’s certainly a good idea. All this to say, again, I like the show. And I am in your ballpark, really.

Throughout this letter, I will present various points that I feel need to be addressed (as I’m sure many others do as well). Commencing with the Drama King himself, Deitrick Haddon.

Dragon Lords

If you know me, then you know I love the BBC show, Merlin! I’ve always been a HUGE sucker for almost any version of the Arthurian Legend even if, like Merlin, it barely follows the actual story.

If you follow the BBC classic show (ended all too soon, much to my great sadness!), then you know that Merlin is a Dragon Lord. The gift, passed down to him from his father, allows him to “lord” over dragons and in fact, any being that may be even related to a dragon. And then, I had a revelation!

We, you and I, are called to be Dragon Lords!
