On the so-called "nude" photos of Carrie Prejean

I'm a conservative Christian. I'm not a Christian just because I say "I believe in God". Heck, even Satan "believes in God". I'm one of those people who actually accepts as fact the claims by Jesus that He is the Messiah, God made flesh, and the Word of God as well. I understand what sin is, and that anything that deviates from God's design, His intent, His will, is sin. Anyone--and I mean ANYONE--who says they are without sin is a liar and the truth is not in them.

However, all though a born-again Christian will undoubtedly sin, we are also the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. This means we have redemption. This is NOT a free pass to continue sinning.

Having said that, let me ask you something. If you know I am a habitually liar and I tell you the sky is blue, does that mean the sky is NOT blue? Of course not. So any argument (which I've already heard from the liberals) that Carrie Prejean's assertions against gay marriage are invalid because she got breast implants or posed semi-nude for lingerie ads are simply ludicrous. Those arguments are simply without any legitimacy.

Now, pageant officials have said that Carrie Prejean may be stripped of her crown because her semi-clothed poses (which, of the ones that have been published on the web, actually show nothing your wouldn't see in a number of women's magazines with lingerie ads) violate a clause in the contract. If that is indeed true, then, yes, Carrie should lose her crown. The sad part is that this is largely because the unGodly secular humanist people behind the pageant hate what Carrie stands for, NOT because they have a problem with her posing for lingerie ads. This is simply a means to an end for them---to disgrace Carrie Prejean.

Personally, I don't see how a real Christian can rationalize doing anything that detracts from their witness, whether that's going out and drinking, smoking, posing for lingerie ads or strutting around a stage in material that mounts to nothing more than underwear all for an earthly crown. It detracts from her witness. The fact that she got breast implants also detracts from her witness (though the clear hypocritical statements from the left should be disgusting to us all). But her stand is nonetheless valid and Biblical. The sky is still blue, no matter what the liberals try to tell you.
