That wasn't the point of the post. Hatred has nothing to do with the observation.

It is not possible for an orthodox Christian to accommodate homosexuality as acceptable when the Bible expressly prohibits the practice. Sure there are "Christians" who don't see an incompatibility but they are either misinformed or have chosen to gloss over the "hard parts" of the Bible that they don't like (modern liberal comes to mind).

As I read through this very interesting article made all the more interesting to me due to the Christian angle because I am an orthodox Christian. So while I merrily read along taking at face value this man's Christian faith it is difficult to explain the feeling when I clanged into the fact that the love of his life was a man. Maybe platonic? CLANG, flowers - not platonic. Christian? Does not compute.

No hatred, no anger, just a pinch of feeling misled journalistically and disappointed that Christianity is being abused.

On the other hand… feeling a little hateful today? Your post seems charged with hatred and contempt.

I found it doubly odd that Neil mentioned G.K. Chesterton as a favorite author (apparently his use of language only, not content?) and yet is a shameless homosexual. An example of divorcing life from fact. Or religion from its essence.

It's better to be an avowed atheist than a false religious believer.

An interesting point (which I plan to write a vanity on soon) is that when one moral absolute is rejected, very soon every single last one will be rejected, as there is now no foundation for any of them.

Result? Total, absolute chaos and anarchy, followed by totalitarianism.
