I’m with you, 100% and also share your experience. So, if self-righteous Christian conservatives want to disavow homosexuals in the party, then they’ll also need to both judge then disavow every other unrepentant sinner as well as atheists, Jews, agnostics, and any other non-conforming New Testament un-scriptural man made denominations like Catholics and Mormons. Yeah, just shut the doors to the church and to the party.
I'm not a chrstian at all.
Since you identify morality as a chrstian monopoly, you obviously are.
Agreed. Should we, as Christians, not follow the example of Christ? Homosexuals are sinners. How did Jesus deal with sinners? Did He reject sinners, tell them to go away, and refuse to associate Himself with sinners? Of course not; Jesus preached to the sinners. Jesus loved sinners. It is sinners that Jesus came to save. Of course He tried to teach sinners to recognize and correct their sinful behaviors. It was not Jesus, but rather the Jewish leaders who sat rightiously in judgement of sinners.
Should we follow the example of Christ and love homosexuals, all the while trying to show them that there’s a better way to live or should we follow the Pharisees’ example and completely dissociate ourselves from them and write them off as a lost cause? If we do this with the sinners whose sin is homosexuality, why not other sinners too? If we weed ALL sinners out, are we not left with nobody? After all, we are all sinners. We all require the salvation offered by Christ.
But other than that, yeah, I know what you mean.
For instance, there's a certain element here which takes pride in driving all Mormons out of Free Republic. That's no way to build a conservative website, let alone a conservative electoral victory.
