contrary to what you posted, i am not uncomfortable around gay people....i witness to all walks of life the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
OK. Since conservative Christian behavior toward homosexuality is the subject here, and you said you would never darken the door of a progressive church, I naturally thought that's what you meant.
So you don't believe we should call out adultery or stealing as sin when we see it?

They seem to think Grace is some sort of magical phenomenon instead of the perfect agape love of Christ. The way to access the cover for our imperfections that is the Grace of Christ is to emulate His agape love for all, NOT to condemn or point out what you consider sin in others.

Ah, trick question, very cute. When you (not you personally, general you meaning fundamentalist Christians) say "God condemns homosexuals", others indeed see that as you condemning people, even though you may claim it is "God's Word" that condemns them.
