Just what are some of the things you will tolerate?

I sense from your messages that you don't agree with me and that's fine. It took many years of soul searching for me to get to this point. Let me be very clear - I do not agree with the choices he's made in his life...tolerance does not equal agreement. What I don't agree with is the very extremist "people of God" who feel the need to hold up signs that say, "God Hates F*gs". People who claim to follow the word of Jesus Christ and then use it to hate. This I will NEVER understand.

Perhaps those people have read a different version of the Bible. To me - Jesus had a sincere, compassion and non judgmental love for ALL of us. He did not pick and choose who he loved but rather chose to see the goodness we ALL have in our hearts.

I'm glad you've clarified your position. It's so hard from little snippets of typing to really get our full meanings across the 'Net.

We lose body language, inflection, tone....

I agree that the sign holders are wrong. 'GOD hates SIN' would be accurate - the other side could say 'GOD loves YOU'

And in fine print: and will be waiting for you when you finally see the error of your ways
