the point i was making was that some folks just lay awake at night worrying about "them".

whoever "they" may happen to be.

often these folks are oblivious to other problems that have a more serious impact on their lives. It's a question of priorities I guess.
Some people focus on the "gay menace", others on those "darn minorities", etc. which is I guess their life to live it as they choose.

I'm not suggesting that the radical homosexual agenda isn't a problem, it just seems that people are so easily sidetracked.

From some post, you'd think the greatest threat to national security, economic prosperity, and life as we know it was some queer guy down the block.

To be honest, I don't particualrilly care for the queer lifestyle, it strikes me as a dead end and frankly a little gross. Besides that most gays I have known could best be described as complete flakes.

That said, I also remember that on Flight 93 one of the numerous Americans who fought back against the terrorist was was of those "evil" gay guys.

So I'm in a dilemma, and I just find it hard to viciously hate a guy who was willing to defend our capitol with his life.

Maybe that's my problem.

Some people tell me I'm not religious enough, and that I really need to study the Bible more, in order to properly hate some people I will never meet.

But the way they describe Christianity, it doesn't seem very Christian.

but for what its worth, I hope you folks all have a good evening.
take care.

For someone who can care less about "queers", you sure can spout the homosexual agenda lines pretty well. Like "Christians HATE "gays"."

I don't hate homosexuals, but I don't want homosexuality pushed down the throat of my kids (no pun intended). And I don't want the next generation to think this form of sexual deviancy is acceptable and OK.

And the very act of laying awake, seething with hatred about s is sinful in itself. There has to be some ground between endorsing life and allowing hatred to consume your heart. I'm trying to find that place.

Then you are in agreement with all of the Christians who posted on this thread. Simply because one does not endorse sin, whether it be adultery, theft, murder, homosexuality, Or other, does not mean that this person "hates" the sinner. We are all sinners. I can only hope that my friends rebuke me when I sin in front of them. That's called love, not hate.
