Re: oh, the church
Given the fact that we are all sinners, being gay is no worse than drinking, fornicating, adultery, drugs, or any of the otherwise unhealthy activities proscribed by the good book. So come and experience God's love and forgiveness, you're no better or worse of a person than I, and from your defensive posture toward the church I'd say you could use a hug.
Hmmm. This seems to have degenerated into a slam the church thread. Interesting that all of Boudicca's references were old testament. I'm not sure what church he ever attended (or that you may ever have attended), but at my church we are told to love sinners and hate sin.

Re: Re: oh, the church
The difference between that type of Christian and a PETA fanatic is this--when that type of Christian tells you you're going to hell, it's a personal insult. Say that to a 6-year-old and he or she is likely to cry. (There are some Christian kids who actually say things like that to their peers.) Say that to an adult and he or she will just tell the person to phuque off.
Excellent point! I tend to be extremist about disliking extremism. Kind of ironic.

The Church part II
Actually, I do not believe in anything. But as a learned person, I do keep an open mind for everything and everyone. I will argue on one side or another, depending on my mood when someone is being so absolute that they cannot see the other side. If I offend anyone that believes in a supreme being, or an organized religion, then I am sorry, to a degree. But I do feel that people should not preach by picking and choosing what parts of their book they want to use in their favor. I also think that people that believe in religion should respect the fact that some of us do not, and therefore no matter what you say, it wont make a difference to me. That is just my honest outlook on the subject. I cannot go to heaven or hell because I do not believe in such places, so if you want to irk me, instead of saying I am going to hell, how about, You're going to Rosie's Place!

Re: The Church part II
Some of my favorite friends have been gay, and as I mentioned earlier I don't think that makes them any worse of a sinner than me. So I guess you could say for me that homosexuality is not really a big deal. Either you are or you aren't. It comes from nature or nurture (or both). What's the big deal?
Actually I don't want to irk you. The perspective of a Christian is that I care enough about you as my fellow human being that I don't want you to go to hell. Ultimately it is your choice and there is very little I can do aside from share the love and wait patiently upon your choice. I can accept that. I still wouldn't want you to go to hell, however.

Re: Re: The Church part II
Thanks for the input, tlatchaw. My point is that when some Christians talk like that, it doesn't come across like you suggested. They don't seem to have the well-being of others in mind, they seem to want to make others feel bad about themselves. Their tone seems to be smug, judgmental and superior, like Nelson's derisive "Ha ha" on the Simpsons.
