It says nothing about sheepishly giving way when the radical homosexual groups demand that we change our culture to accept them and their barbaric acts as 'good'--and using the force of law to compel us to do so.

And neither am I. I'm just saying that for us as sinners, going around calling people "children of the devil" is idiotic, counterproductive, and uncharitable. I detest homosexuality and have never been shy about expressing that in public, as even a cursory FR search or Google of my writings will show. But we must make it very clear that it is homosexuality we detest -- the act, the political movement, and the "lifestyle" -- and not the homosexual. We can vigorously oppose the homosexualization of our culture without demonizing our fellow human beings.

You would prefer "vipers?"

You don't have to prove your pedigree to me. I know your posts well enough to know that you are an excellent Christian and that your intentions here are good. We disagree on methods, not doctrine.

I disagree based on my personal experiences. It wasn't the touchy-feely aspects of Catholicism that brought me back to the Church, but the hard-hitting apologetics used by the early Church Fathers. And THEY certainly knew something about living in reprobate times.
