Yes, apparently a good bit of poor reasoning from sources.

  • So and so spoke somewhere of premise A
  • Therefore so and so supports my conclusion

But to get to the conclusion (committed monogamous homosexual couples have a biblically legit. relationship etc) you need a couple more premises, and the people quoted not only didn’t state those premises but in several cases have clearly and publicly taught doctrine contrary to the conclusion.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
