All I can say is as a gay member of a non-accepting church, I understand and sympathize.

So much fail in this thread.

All I can say is that God loved everyone in spite of their sin, but that does not mean we are to wallow in it. In fact, He demands from us that we turn from all sin of all varieties.

Do you think it would be right for a church to be open to practicing child molesters or drug dealers or bank robbers or murderer's?

You are accepted at any church, but they expect you turn from your sin just like the alcoholic wife abuser is expected to turn from sin.

I know. Jeez. Gays and lesbians are no better than bank robbers and murderers.

If I was going to believe in an imaginary friend, at least I'd pick a happier, more accepting one. The Flying Spaghetti Monster works for me!

And child molesters. They always compare them to child molesters. Christers are so predictable.

Look clown, I am not saying gays are child molesters. All I am saying is that sinners are sinners and the primary point of Christianity and Judaism is to repent from your sins.

Once you become complacent in sin, you cease to practice the faith which you espouse.

Your lack of rationale is identical to bank robbers and other criminals: "Its not my fault!"

You must be kidding. Why some gay people are so desperate to be accepted by religious crackpots is beyond me. Don't you get enough make believe in movies and TV?

It's cool. I know you don't understand Christianity or Judaism, so I forgive your ignorance.

I don't get it either. I mean, why feel the need to go into an established church with strong doctrine backing up a certain position and then attempt to reinvent the wheel?
