Pizza With Polenta Crust

In 2008, in defending his current position against same-sex marriage but for civil unions, [President Obama] said concerning people who might find his position controversial, “I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans.” Two things strike me about this. First, he's not consistent about his application of the golden rule; he's pro-abortion-but of course he doesn't want to be hacked to pieces without anesthesia, which is precisely what certain abortion procedures entail. Second, choosing the golden rule over “an obscure passage in Romans” shows he doesn’t understand that “the entirety of [God's] word is truth” (Ps. 119:160). Both the Golden Rule and the Romans 1 passage are true; it's not a choice between the two. Since he used to give lectures on Constitutional law at the University of Chicago, I doubt that he would ever use the term “an obscure phrase in the Constitution,” because obscurity is about one’s perception of importance, not the actual importance of a matter. To a Constitutional lawyer who respects the document, every phrase of the document is important. To a serious [true] Christ-follower, every word of His scriptures is important.

INSTRUCTIONS

I have this recipe from Gourmet Grains, Beans and Rice for Polenta
Crust I have tried it and it can be a finger food. It is firm.  Polenta
is made of cornmeal. Here it is:  Spray a 9 inch pie pan with nonstick
spray. Preheat oven to 375. Place  cornmeal in a small bowl. Add cold
water and stir until well mixed.  Stir cornmeal mixture into saucepan
of boiling water. Cook, stirring  over low heat until thickened, 3 to 5
minutes. Remove from heat and  stir salt and Parmesan.  Spread cornmeal
mixture to form a crust in the greased pan, using wet  hands or a
spatula. Spread evenly across bottom and up sides. Bake  uncovered for
30    miutes.  I make this crust on a rather large square pan and do
not shape into  a pie, I, then cut into squares.  Toppings can consist
of sauteed green and yellow peppers , mushrooms  , etc.  Posted to
