It’s collapsing in on its self-interest. They’ve creted a class of victims out of people who are, in essence, consumed completely by self-interest.

They can’t be saved from that which they don’t want to be saved. We want to be GAY, and then I want to be forgiven for the rest of it. “I’m sorry for part of it, and in fact I blame God for the rest of it.”

Self-interest eventually blinds and destroys every good thing.

I used to wonder why God chose to make men when He already had angels. Angels live a life of complete servitude. Everyone knows somebody who so devotes so themselves to a cause, whether it is teaching, Scouting, or helping the poor that inevitably this person will receive a public honor in which they will be described as ‘angelic’, or ‘like an angel in man’s clothing’.

Perhaps man was God’s way of finding out how far away from Him could something with free will exist without its soul being crushed by self-interest. Angels benefit from a palpable contact with, and knowledge of, God. Our knowledge and contact have been more brief and ‘once removed’ per se. To the degree I’m permitted to even speculate on such things is perhaps the best evidence I have of God’s mercy on me - a clay pot’s musings on why it was made.

And yet, why couldn’t they form their OWN “church” — the “Church of gays”? Why try and force the Presbyterians, Episcopalians etc. to accept this perversion?
