Run by a hate-filled "Christian.": LARGO, Fla. (AP) - Steve Stanton professed his love for the city and asked the people of Largo to support his decision to undergo a sex change and allow him to keep his $140,000-a-year job as city manager.

To his sorrow, the answer came back no.

Almost 500 people packed City Hall on Tuesday night for a special meeting to decide if they would accept someone named Susan instead of Steve as their top official. And while many spoke eloquently in his defense, more called for his ouster.

"If Jesus was here tonight, I can guarantee you he'd want him terminated," said Pastor Ron Saunders of Largo's Lighthouse Baptist Church. "Make no mistake about it."

Putting Words in the Mouth of Jesus: It is always interesting to hear a minister put words in the mouth of Jesus and do it with such self-assurance and determination that one would swear they had recieved a direct revelation from the Lord God Almighty. At what point does this level of certainty about "what God thinks" become "besotted" pride? I can't answer that, only God knows. I can say that within the walls of this church you will find a good example of people following "civil religion" (as defined by St. Agustine and he was a Doctor of the Church). What I can't say is whether you will find true Christianity or charity here. Whether that exists within these walls only God knows.
