I have to wonder about the Christian reasoning of Carrie Prejean. She thinks God was testing her faith by her being asked a question about gay marriage? First of all Miss Prejean, did you really pass the test of faith when you entered these vanity contests and paraded around in skimpy bathing suits for all the nation? Does the Bible imply that women should display themselves this way? What do they teach you in that California church anyway?<\/p>\n<p>I suppose your deep faith in God allows body enhancements and I guess you think God also wanted you to starve yourself so you could win this vanity contest? Still, you tell us that God tested your faith in Him by allowing this perverted person that you willingly paraded yourself in front of to ask a question about your position on gay marriage. Are we a little confused Miss Prejean, or what?<\/p>\n<p>For the sake of argument, lets just say you told this jerk what he wanted to hear. How then would you be able to face all the people that you already told that you are against gay marriage? Had you lied you certainly would have been exposed as a liar and even if you won the contest you would have lost. So lets get real here for a change. You had to answer the question as you did and it was not a test of your faith by God. You\u00a0 put on this Achilles heal yourself when you put yourself in this position to start with.<\/p>\n<p>You said you actually prayed that you would not be asked that gay marriage question? But you got that question anyway. The jerk asked the question because he obviously knew you claimed to be a Christian. Have you ever considered that this was allowed to happen not because it was a test of your faith but because God does not approve of you being in vanity contests?<\/p>\n<p>Also your appeasing disclaimer was really wonderful, <strong>&#8220;I have nothing against gay people and I did not mean to offend anyone in my answer&#8221;<\/strong> Well why not miss Prejean? Homosexuals spread disease and are in rebellion against God and His natural order. If you do not think that will bring negative consequence for this nation you are not reading your Bible. If that offends people that are living out of the will of God, so be it. Your statement of appeasement was right up there on the same level as &#8220;some of my friends are black&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>If you disagree you might read this article by Dave Welsh, <strong><a title=\"Prejean Christian hero?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=96305\">Should Carrie Prejean be held as the example of a Christian hero?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With Christian examples paraded before us like this no wonder our young people are confused.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20141008002918\/http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/2009\/04\/20\/exclusive-carrie-prejean-says-god-testing-faith-gay-marriage-question\/\">FOXNews.com &#8211; Exclusive: Carrie Prejean Says &#8216;God Was Testing My Faith&#8217; With Gay Marriage Question &#8211; Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Arts And Entertainment<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In an exclusive interview with FOXNews.com&#8217;s Courtney Friel, Miss California says her phone has been ringing off the hook with people offering her support after she took on a question about gay marriage on Sunday night&#8217;s Miss USA telecast.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have no regrets about answering [judge Perez Hilton] honestly,&#8221; she said in one of her first interviews following the show, where she answered that she was against gay marriage becoming legal in California. &#8220;He asked me for my opinion and I gave it to him.
