Barkely didn't fall off the truck - he has a turnip for a brain

In case you haven't seen the latest CNN clip of ex-NBA Allstar Charles Barkely calling Conservatives "Fake Christians" and saying "everytime I hear the word 'conservative' it makes me sick to my stomach" you can view it yourself by clicking on the link here.

Barkely's judgement of "Conservatives" as "Fake Christians" is unbelievably self-damning for someone who has announced he will be running for Govenor of Alabama in 2014, seven years after establishing residency in 2007. By his twisted sense of claiming not to be a "fake christian", Barkely then goes on to state his divine and true understanding of theological doctrinal positions with respect to Gay Marriage and Abortion. Even in his judgemental statement, he chastises "Conservatives" as fake because they are not to judge.

With these kind of statements it leaves you wondering if Barkely comprehends anything from his time spent reading the Bible, is he simply turnip-brained and just doesn't get it, or has he chosen to selectively pick-and-choose the parts out of the Bible he likes best. Maybe Sir Charles has more of an issue with what the Bible says, than with the ones that are saying it? I will leave this up to Sir Charles and God.

Regarding just the issue of Gay Marriage though Charles, I would like to know why you believe that a a group of activists in 2008, with a preference towards the way that they personally desire, engage and perform sexual activities, should irrevocably and justifiably re-define the definition of a sacred tradition that has been practiced for centuries by billions of people all over the world? The arrogance and perpetual self-ambitious disrespect of tradition and values from these activists is such that everytime I hear the word 'Gay Marriage' it makes me sick to my stomach!

And I am sure that there are a lot of folks (even in Alabama) who feel the same way.
