I don't know about you,but I firmly believe in the concept of Divine Forgiveness.If he makes his peace with God,he'll be OK in God's eyes.

No matter how you slice it, a man who contracted AIDS by his own wilful and deliberate sin is not a hero. And the hanging question is how many others did he infect ?

I don't understand your rage because people are showing sympathy. I am pretty sure he has never in any way affected
my health.

Perhaps you are in the high risk category or are afraid you are.

What? Have you never sinned? And the hanging question is how many others did you injure by YOUR sin?

Are you saying that someone who has sinned can not be considered a hero?

If he has turned to God and asked forgiveness and put his faith in Jesus, then he is O.K., despite your misgivings...

I don't see any logic in your comments, are you equating the people he had sex with as innocent victims of some fiendish sex driven predatorial "homo"? (Are you sure he infected anybody?)

If that is the case then maybe you should consider him a victim, surely he wasn't the first person to contract the disease.

Brudnoy is a much loved individual, aside from his personal life, he lived a life most of us should strive to, whether or not you ever listened to him I have no idea, but if you haven't it is your loss, perhaps it would have pried open your mind a little bit and let the darkness out.

That is a rather cold reply, don't you think? I too believe that the homosexual lifestyle is a sin, but as people they too are made in the image and and likeness of God, and should therefore be treated with the same respect and dignity as any other member of the human race.

It is a shame that this man is suffering such a painful death, and it is even more tragic to think that it was brought upon himself through his own behavior, or that others will suffer the same fate because of him.

Again, I'm not defending this man's lifestyle, but we are all going to die in the same state: hoping for God's mercy and forgiveness. We are all sinners, let's not be so presumptuous as to put limits on God's ability to forgive, or presume that OUR sins can't possibly be judged as harshly as another's.
