Robinson Gives Angry Rebuttal To Blogger ROBINSON COMMENTS Listen To Robinson's Forum Comments VirtueOnline.org

Bishop Gene Robinson is under fire from religious conservatives for comments he made during a panel discussion in February at Christ Church in Hamilton, Mass., focused on the identity of Jesus Christ.

Robinson, who is openly gay, described Jesus' nontraditional life in response to a question asked at the forum.

"This man that we follow who is Jesus was single as far as we know, who traveled with a bunch of men, although there were lots of women around, who had a disciple known as the one who Jesus loved," Robinson said.

Later, Robinson said: "Those who would posit the nuclear family as the be-all and end-all of God's creation probably don't find that much in the Gospels to support that. On the other hand, I happen to think the traditional family is a wonderful thing. I'm a product of it. I dearly love my family, and I love my own family, with my own two kids. It just looks a little non-traditional. But this Jesus, when you ask who is Jesus, he was not terribly mainstream, was he?"

Robinson's recorded comments can be heard on the church's Web site. A conservative Web site, VirtueOnline.org, published some of Robinson's remarks, saying that the bishop was implying that Jesus was gay.

The site's author, David Virtue, called Robinson's comments "rubbish" and suggested that the bishop be "struck down by thunder and lightning bolts."

In an angry rebuttal published this week in the New Hampshire Union Leader Robinson denied that he had suggested Jesus might have been gay.

"I can assure you with absolute certainty that was not my implication, and certainly not anything I ever said," Robinson said. Pointing out that Jesus was not married "is a long way from saying Jesus is gay. ... I am furious for my remarks to be interpreted in a way as to mean something I never said."

Pastor Peg Custer of Christ Episcopal Church in Portsmouth defended her bishop, saying that he is a good man who speaks the truth.

"The quotes he gave from scripture are accurate and certainly have been misconstrued," Custer said. "There is no way he would say that. I know him well and trust him."

Robinson declined to be interviewed on camera. His spokesman said the bishop did "not want to give any more life" to this story.
