At the very least, the rainbow appearing was a sweet bit of serendipity.

A lot of people do. It's probably one way that religions get started.

I suppose so.

But it's one of those things that Science can only shrug at and mutter "coincidence" and then look around for something they can measure/calibrate/weigh.

I cannot speak to the origins of religion. I do know that sometimes things are presented to me in an urgent way. I have learned to pay attention and take time to step back and examine my actions and path.

Life is good.

Yes. Those of us who see God in that rainbow will now join hands and sing Kumbaya.

Since you are going to subjugate all homosexual men, why don't we do that with straight men? What about all the rape that goes on? A 10 year old girl in Indiana gets raped and nobody mentions this epidemic. Look at all the other violent crime committed by heterosexual men, why is there no finger pointing at them?

Vandalism is wrong, period. Hope that makes the OP from long ago happy

But how am I to respond as a non believers if the vandalism is being done by gay religious people without it being construed as being an attack or the religion itself?

Do you have any specifics about the "harmful behavior"?
Now...I heard about these 2 guys....Cedric and Bob. They stole an armoire, then they attacked a guy because he wouldn't wear a ribbon at an AIDS march.

Oh, you "heard" about that.

I heard about an evangelical man who molested his kids.

Shall we go down this road?
