Paul isn't Jesus, nor is he the deity. He's a powerful man in the early church, but most accounts agree: he never even met Jesus and was converted after the Crucifixion. "But Paul Said ...", coming from a Protestant minister for whom intercessionaries are a Bad Thing, is yet another irony to add to the irony ironing the ironically ironic iron iron that is James Dobson's career of touting his family's inherited values as being the Only True And Valid Expression of Christianity in the World, PS Give Us America or the Kid Gets It. He may as well be justifying his position by saying "But Luther Said ...". Except this is not Germany, and our society might actually get to the point of recognising that people don't stop having basic rights simply because they're not citizens, are brown, sleep in caravans, or are attracted to a particular gender.
