This is how I imagine it will shake out in heaven. A gay activist and a fundamentalist preacher both die and stand in judgement before God. The gay activist says, “I helped in the acceptance of gay-marriage!” The fundamentalist preacher says, “I helped defend the sanctity of marriage!” God then says, “You both embarrassed me.” As I sit here in
