The business braintrust in western Massachusetts has decided to build an exclusive community – Paradise One (and no, I won’t link to it). Here’s a quote from their website:

Our vision:

We envision Paradise One as a microcosm of the Northampton / Amherst / Easthampton communities, a mix of gay and straight, older and younger. A place that is especially gay-friendly for the LGBT community who lack real options. Rather than the “gay place” or “old folks home”, we’d like it to be known as the vibrant, beautiful, place where a mix of progressive people choose to live in harmony.

Uh, yep.

Sure they go on about the fact that they are open to everyone. Does this sound open:

THE COMMUNITY:

Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transgender & Straight are all welcome at Paradise One. Each member of our community will have one thing in common: The desire to continue living life to the fullest.

I imagine they would be open to a regular rosary rally in the community room praying for the end of homosexual sodomite abomination? It would certainly help me to live life to the fullest in the way Jesus intended. But then again, their two statements contradict eachother. How can it be gay friendly, yet open to everyone.

Perhaps we can persuade Tom Monaghan to buy up the condos? I’m thinking ‘Ave Maria North’. I think rather that Gene Robinson will be “‘blessing'” the place.

Unfortunately, this gay friendly exclusive community (don’t come here if you’re a serious Catholic or otherwise committed Christian) is only a little over an hour from Albany. That means that when the destruction comes I had better not be looking in that direction. I don’t want to end up a pillar of salt like Lot’s wife…

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man;
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all.
So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
On that day, a person who is on the housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down to get them, and likewise a person in the field must not return to what was left behind.
Remember the wife of Lot.
Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it. — Luke 17:26-33
