True... but tell that to Sir Thomas Moore... Oh wait, You can’t. He died for his faith and conviction.
Every now and then I get something right. * grins!
No, these pervs actually believe that they are following the letter of the bible, and they leave somethings out — namely the OT and Paul’s statement against homosexuality. They believe they aren’t adding anything, just “removing things that are not valid anymore”...
