Miss California Says Her Beliefs “Cost Me My Crown”; No Regrets Though

By Teresa Neumann – The Christian Post

Carrie Prejean“I was raised in a way that you can never compromise your beliefs and your opinions for anything…By having to answer that question in front of a national audience, God was testing my character and faith. I’m glad I stayed true to myself.” Keep the faith, Carrie, and you’ll have a crown in Heaven.

(California)—The Christian Post reports that Miss California, Carrie Prejean, who was named first runner up in the Miss USA Pageant on Sunday, says she believes her answer on same-sex marriage (she believes marriage should be between a man and a woman) cost her the title but admits that she has no regrets.

“It did cost me my crown,” Carrie told Billy Bush on his radio talk show recently. “I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I said what I feel. I stated an opinion that was true to myself and that’s all I can do…I was raised in a way that you can never compromise your beliefs and your opinions for anything.”

Prejean’s school, San Diego Christian College, released this statement: “As a community we congratulate Carrie on this accomplishment. She is a great example of a student who is seeking to have an impact on the world for Christ.”

In a Fox News Interview, Prejean said, “This happened for a reason. By having to answer that question in front of a national audience, God was testing my character and faith. I’m glad I stayed true to myself.”

    Why is it that homosexuals can speak out about their beliefs, but Christians can’t speak out about theirs?

    The gay judge was most forthright in his views.
    He used his position to bully Carrie.

    Homosexuality has become like a bad religion – it adheres strongly to a particular view to the point of not allowing anybody else to express views to the contrary. In religious terminology this is called fanaticism.

    It is now Christianity preaching tolerance of others’ views, and homosexuality persecuting those with views that differ from its own.

    How times have changed!

    Kudos for her stance on the issue of marriage … but what was she thinking when she posed topless? If beauty comes from the inside as Chrissy above wrote, then why did she have breast implants?
