Utter self-righteous nonsense. MQ is doing no such thing but you should consider the wisdom of adding responsibility for the fates of any you convince to follow your beliefs. Presenting them is fine, but promoting and persuading is asking for more responsibility than seems wise, IMO.
Would you care to present an argument to support your conclusions? I can't engage you in battle if you just shout and don't step into the ring.
Do you have a college education? At least at post graduate level? You don't seem to be able to go beyond posting interjections and emojis. It would be nice to see more of you, metaphorically-speaking.

I am avoiding anything that could lead to rancor. I need a respite. But I can find no acceptable rationale that would suggest that our feeling and thinking anything unloving about anyone else for any reason would be resonant with the consciousness I encountered, period. I realize it is largely inconceivable for us humans to actually love those we consider to be evil or our enemies, but I am absolutely convinced by my experiences that God has no such deficiency.
Well put. The New Age mindset is typified by a cafeteria-style approach to truth. It’s feel-good preference-seeking rather than genuine truth-seeking.
It is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, a time of a great falling-away and deception via doctrines of demons and doctrines of man.
This falling away (and building up) started in the 1500’s and is societal
It is not your average person who is the problem, it is the systems both religious and political that have embedded in them the seeds of that corruption
As individuals we are to test the establishment but not to rebel, that was the mistake the Protestant revolution made, was to think it was their duty to dominate and repress - from that dominating/repressiveness comes the systems that causes the imbalance that affects society
They were not to establish the same structures that Rome had built

Presenting, explaining, and defending our views can seem like persuasion, but it is entirely defensive, BapFun. Attacking and trying to eliminate dangerous and harmful beliefs is another matter entirely. You have some of those harmful and dangerous beliefs as a fundamentalist as do those more radical than you who fly planes into buildings or kill authors for blaspheming Mohammed.
But pointing to your sin of pride and getting you to look at it is relevant to the topic about Christianity and LGBTQs. You are adamant in your promotion of a version of Christianity that leads them astray in the same manner that Satan led Adam astray through Eve, the weak link in the lifeline that anchors mankind to God.
Ah, good job at tying that in. Unfortunately for your way of thinking, I don't see myself as leading anyone astray--or even having the power and influence to so do--and after a lifetime of study and thought and prayer (with a stint at trying and failing to be an atheist, lol) I believe I'm doing what Jesus said to do by speaking up for a marginalized segment of our human and Christian community. I didn't seek it out. I'm a straight old woman, not part of the LGBTQ community myself. When I was young, I thought the way you did, but life--and God--taught me to look at things differently. My eyes are opened, I've been granted a bit of wisdom, and there's no turning back into the darkness now.

It is difficult for those who enjoyed wallowing in mud to go back once they have bathed and seen the light of truth, MQ.

I think a lot of people have had a similar experience MQ (me included)
