>>I undoubtedly don’t express myself as well as I ought to do.

All part of thaterrors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them thing Thomas Jefferson and Co. invented.

At least on this thread. ;-)

LGBTwhateverists love to hear “thou shall not kill”, because it can be twisted to appear to support their religiously permissive, progressive state-establishing, perversion of the Gospel along with the rest of the Word - but “go and sin no more”, not so much.

I think, too, that there's the danger of being tone-deaf to the situation.

After all, who were these people at the rally? Not all of them were LGBT, or even LGBT-allies in the sense of supinely tolerating three sin of sexual vice. There were without question some like me, who wanted to witness against the sin of murder.

And some were just there to express mourning, which is to be expected since 100 people have been gunned down, half of them dead and half badly injured. Some expressing mourning for the dead, and some, moral reproach for the killer(s).

In the light of what kind of event this was --- in the immediate aftermath of a mass murder --- it seems best to say something along the lines of: I'm for your life, and not for your destruction.

I would have liked to have conveyed that.

Even wayward, dung-sodden lambs have to know, first, that you're on their side. Tagline
