Her Answer was Complete Fail

Umm... I watched her answer, and she didn't share anything with anyone. All she said was she raised that way so that's how she things it should be. Where is God in that? I realize it's tough to think of a good answer in the heat of the moment, but "because I was raised that way" is a just about the worst answer you can give. Just coming out and saying "I hate gays" wouldn't have been much worse for her.

A better response would have been: "Homosexuality is just one of many diseases that is slowly invading our culture, particularly among men. The CDC, which is a United States Federal Agency, reported in 2005 that 71% of all HIV cases occur in males who have had a sexual encounter with another male. This statics is made even more frightening by the fact that only 5-7% of males report having had sex with another male, meaning that males who have sex with other males are 3500-4000% more likely to contract HIV than males who do not have sex with males."

Obeying God is certainly a necessary thing to do, but if you're going to be out in the world explaining to people why you do or don't support a particular behavior then you need to educate yourself. You make yourself look bad and all Christians look bad when you go out there and say "because I was raised that way".

Ms. Prejean- Poor girl.... Satan tried to tempt her!

And apparently WON when the sex tape surfaced.
