and unfortunately too many churches aren't teaching the scriptures.there but they're not teaching through the bible. they're not picking a book of the bible -- take jonah, or take first peter, and just go through verse by verse, line by line, chapter by chapter, and unpack, what is god saying? what was he saying to that city or nation? what is he saying the church? that's how the hers were written. imagine getting -- these days people dope even mail letters. that's why the post office is imploding. that's a separate issue. imagine you get an e-mail from your wife and, let's say you're on a business trip, and it's a long, detailed e-mail and she is sharing what's going on with the kids and her and things -- critical information you need to know, but rather than read it all, you just pick out a line that says, i love you. or, i miss you. awesome. maybe that's the first line, for example. hey, i'm go. and the next line, i love you, i miss, and the mortgage us die and we don't have any now and won't have a house when you get home. my point is we can'tic a

i look at scripture, too, frequently. it's my job.d anywhere where jesus said to count the sheep. jesus said feed them, so we're now primed to feed the sleep coming towards us, people who want to raise their children in communities that teach values of tolerance, justice, and compassion, and the doors are open and the sign is up, the episcopal church welcomes you no matter who you are. >> let me jump in here. quickly, jeff, since you don't support it, what advice do you have for same-sex christian couples who are legally married in states where it's allowed? i mean, why can't they be blessed by their church. what should they do? >> they are welcome to come to all of our churches. it's not an issue of welcome. it's what the church pronounces is holy. if the church is going to say that something that is viewed as contrary to scripture and the teachings of the church for the last 2,000 years, it's unilaterally doing something that the rest of christiandom hasn't affirmed. the episcopal church has said we're going to redefine marriage. as

they are very much inconsistent with scripture.e honesty of the gospels is when john rowe -- john wrote about the encounter. he said, go ask them, is he the one, or should i look for another? jesus said, you go back and tell them these things. of the blind are seeing. that the dead are racing and the gospel is being preached to the port. it seems like that would be out of place. i think that would government has done is interject itself into this miracle that could occur in people's lives. with injected government to say -- and entitlement programs are inconsistent with scripture in my opinion. little by little, we need to get rid of all of them. >> i was wondering, who is your favor woman in the bible? that is a difficult one. i love ruth. there been convinced to get in and take work the have to get a minimal wage. in fact, when you look at what happens in this economy, it is because of the minimum wage as well. i mentioned earlier will happen with fannie mae and freddie mac. attention.tle -- it gets a little attention. it is one

he ended with scripture, he started with thunderous applause and between the two, he hit on everything from the president, as he put it, bailing out the auto industry, saving the banking industry, saying bin laden is dead and america is more secure because of this man. he spent a great deal of time drawing a sharp contrast between what a romney presidency would look like with regards to education, with regards to the supreme court, with regards to energy as well. and you have to wonder if the white house sent joe biden to houston because he may have done a little bit better with that audience. initial thoughts on the vice president's comments, good sir? >> you certainly couldn't do better with our crowd than that. he hit all the points. he even got into talking about racial profiling, which is something if you go back 12 years, george bush campaigned against driving while black. so it reminds people how important it is to have people who have courage who can actually see what's happening at the street level and respond to it with force and with vision. he talked about voting rights. he

i found myself increasingly frustrated by sermons in church that didn't seem to connect the scriptureeally to my own life. as a layman, i wanted to take a shot at it. >> you mentioned the poison of religion and you're critical in some ways of the professional church. you quote, also from pascal and say men never do so evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction. on the other hand, some of the greatest and most humanitarian works are also done in the name of religious conviction. where do things go awry? are there warning signs or telltale signs there? >> great question. what i call the poison of religion, and we have the cynics out there. i'm trying to reject two extreme views, the completely cynical view which says religion poisons everything, that there's nothing good about religious belief. that's the cynical view. let's reject it. i think even within the christian community, that doesn't take the problem of greed and selfishness and the will to power seriously enough and that's what i'm trying to get at at this chapter. so often what we have is r
