RE: "You say you're a Christian but your language and attitude says different."


Jesus did not order me to be a doormat for extremists. If I am angry with you, I will let you know in no uncertain terms why. It's the honest thing to do (and I don't believe in lying).


RE: "It's your type of behavior that turn people off from true Christianity if in fact you really believe you're Christian."


No, it's your kind of zealous, tent-revival huckster "Christian" that turns people off of Christianity. If non-believers are being constantly informed of how evil and disgusting they are by people like you, why in the hell would they ever want to set foot in a church? Do you know how many homosexuals have been led away from Christ by the bigotry and hatred they've encountered in traditional Christian churches?


RE: "God did not allow the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah to live in peace and harmony, and neither should we."


God did not give us the authority to decide what is Sodom and Gomorrah and what isn't. Judgement is reserved for He and He alone. You can witness to others as much as you desire, but God did not give you the right to strong-arm others int acceptance of Him. The living have self-preservation and the protection of their loved ones to worry about here on Earth...and Keyes failed the latter with bitter aplomb.

To hear the Law of God preached to them so they are convicted of their sin and realize their desparate need of a Savior. That's why!

What you call "bigotry and hatred", so elequently using religious political correctness, is telling them the truth about their sin and out of love for their eternal welfare, confronting and warning them of the eternal consequences of their unrepentent sin.

Do yo know how many homosexuals and sinners of all varieties have been led TO Christ because the Law was preached to them?

The problem with your "love" is that you will love them right into hell.

"zealous tent-revival huckster"?

Can't address that because I'm not sure what I said that applies to that. As for bigotry and hatred emanating from traditional Christian churches, that sounds like it's coming straight from the homosexual talking points.

Acceptance of the homo lifestyle will not be found in traditional Christian churches or traditional Christian households so if that's hate well then you're in good company with most of the homosexual agenda regarding Christianity.

However Keyes is not forcing his daughter to accept his Christian beliefs. But at the same time nowhere in Scripture does it say that you are supposed to sit idly by and love sin in all its glory.
