well, really, I thought gay people were despicable when I was an atheist.

Now that I'm Catholic, at least I have compassion for them.

I'm not even sure why the moderator deleted your comment, because I thought it indeed displayed the difference that SHOULD be present between atheists and Christians. Not all atheists despise gay people - but the ones who do are often unburdened by a religious moral compass that demands compassion for fellow human beings. Christans, while called upon to reject sin, are also called upon to love sinners (including themselves).

I’m Catholic. It is not necessary for me to use my religion to have the opinion that there is no scientific proof that humans are born homosexual.
