The Beauty and the Beasts

Gay activists have declared open warfare against Miss California, Carrie Prejean, because she dared to stand up for traditional marriage during the Miss USA pageant. It clearly has infuriated the left that her answer to idiot gay blogger Perez Hilton made her into an instant celebrity, and now no attack on her is too over-the-top. The controversy continued on the Today Show:

With partially nude photos of her popping up on Web sites questioning her Christian credentials, Miss California USA Carrie Prejean has fired back, claiming the racy pictures are just modeling shots and vowing to continue her battle against same-sex marriage.

“I am a Christian, and I am a model,” Prejean said in a statement released overnight to the media. “Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be.”

But Alicia Jacobs, a judge at the April 19 Miss USA pageant during which Prejean made her highly publicized statement opposing same-sex marriage, said the pictures go beyond what the Miss California pageant says are appropriate.

“I can assure you they were quite inappropriate, and certainly not photos befitting a beauty queen,” Jacobs, a reporter for NBC’s Las Vegas affiliate, told NBC News.

The images may also hurt her status as a spokeswoman for conservative causes. “She can continue to advocate for causes, but I don’t think these causes are going to advocate for her,” Ken Baker of E! News told NBC.

So, now we have the phenomena of non-Christians telling a Christian how she's supposed to live, and because she has not lived a live as exemplary as they think she should have, she's unfit to wear the title "Christian". If they think their criticism will turn Christians against her, they've badly miscalculated.

Of course, that's what the left always does. They demand that others live up to a standard they couldn't or wouldn't require of themselves. Gays especially are prone to overplaying their hands and bringing animosity down upon themselves. It's a classic symptom of immaturity.

Every now and then I'll post on a subject of particular angst to the left and I can almost always count on somebody who isn't a Christian lecturing me in the comments about how Christians are supposed to think and act on that subject. I find them quite entertaining and usually try to have some fun with my response. Here's a recent example from a post I did on waterboarding:

Commenter "Sad": Is this a pro-torture christian website?
How sad. I'm quite certain Jesus is looking down form the cross in disbelief

Me: Big news, Mr. Sad, Jesus isn't still on the cross. He was resurrected. I'm surprised you missed it. It was in all the papers.

Sometimes it's just too easy.
