She didn’t just come out in support of homosexual civil unions/legalized marriage for same benefits (as plenty of Christians have), but rather called said lifestyle choices “holy”…and was eager to officiate weddings in church settings and/or in the Lord’s name. It was a total reversal of her previously expressed beliefs and teachings. She also wouldn’t answer her own readers, who made her career and wealth possible, when they genuinely (and often gently) requested scripture clarification to try and better understand how she arrived to her new enthusiasm for LGBTQ relationships. She gave no explanation other than “she researched it” and just seemed to expect everyone else to immediately follow her down her new path, no questions asked. That verbiage—“holy”—struck a greater nerve in the Christian community for sure. And it seems as if one of her new public platforms is actively campaigning against the Church and against the many people—imperfect humans—who still worship, love, and represent Jesus well in that exact space that she now condemns. Any word yet from anyone who’s read the cookbook about whether or not she (hopefully!) sticks to topics of food and gatherings throughout—?—or does she somehow use the recipe writings to subtly bash or mislead others with religious/political commentaries? And did she really put Tyler’s name in print in the book dedication?!? (*eyeroll*) Or was that just somebody making a joke?
I was a fan of hers for a long time and genuinely wanted to know how/what she researched. Now THAT would be a book worth reading, imo...the actual research for what God actually says in teh Bible about holy non-hetero relationships and how she changed her mind. Honestly, it is the only book she needs to write...I don't think she ever will, but I would buy that one.
