Going by what's posted on this forum one would think it's a requirement to gain entrance to Heaven: "Step right up, Hank. This is where we go over your life. So tell me...... when you were on earth how did you serve me?" "Well, God, I described what body part is put into which orifice during gay sex. And I did it a LOT!"

Good stuff again, Warden.

Unfortunately it probably won't:

There's like 6 threads currently open in this forum being used as a platform to vilify gay and lesbian people?

Sounds about right.

And that's just for the month of October.

I agree with the whole "it's a sin" thing but we all do need to focus on our own sins.

Then you have certainly advanced a step beyond many conservative Christians on this thread. I applaud you for it.

It amazes me people are still so ignorant to think sexuality is a choice, you are born with an attraction to one sex or the other.

It amazes me more, considering the amount of mental and sometimes physical abuse that homosexuals are subject to, that anyone with a brain would think it remotely possible for someone to even want such a lifestyle. My guess is that it takes a long, long time for most to accept who they are--then to be faced with ding-bats telling them they should have made a better choice---oh dear God!

It always seems to come down to a "love-based awakening" . . . unfortunately couched in tragedy . . . to awaken people to the true import of Christ's Gospel of agape love. How anyone could think that their un-loving attitudes and treatment could EVER be desired and approved of by our God . . . who IS agape love . . . is beyond me.

It's more to spread evidence-based information and expose the disinformation and ignorance behind much of the bigotry and prejudice.
If fundamentalist views were evidence-based this might help . . . but of course they are not.

Agreed, but I will go one step further. In the local church, all public sin must be dealt with, according to the procedures outlined in Scripture.
