I guess I was wondering more about cultural things like, ‘why do you have a dog if you believe this’, or why not have a charity that takes care of the old folks who are left behind.

Because in their minds, whoever is left behind "has it coming," so who are they to get in the way? If people don't want to be left behind, then they need to change. Otherwise, f'em. Its a very common sentiment. Compassion becomes "you chose" followed by a locked door. Not pretty.

Dude, I hear you but I do not get that vibe off of these folks like you do. I haven’t heard anyone talk like that, at least to me.

It just seems to me that it’s pretty strange that there isn’t more of a cultural impact that can be readily pointed to as a result of a bunch of Christians believing this.

Its called “judgement”, and it is to be delivered by God. If there is no consequence or reward for choice, than what is the point of having one? Who are we to interfere? I think you confuse pity with dismissal or apathy. Most Christians I know, their heart breaks for those not saved. That goes for gays as well. But we are also not required to tolerate a redefinition of homosexuality being sin as put forth by Paul in Romans 1.

Sheesh, you're really projecting.
