Comment Of The Week
'OK, so you have turned away from the path of Christianity; that’s fine.
Your belief that, “That homosexual actions are not sin in the context of a monogamous relationship.” is in direct opposition to the tenets of Christianity; you can’t believe as you do and truly be a Christian.
On the other hand, I believe that those who call themselves Christians who denounce homosexuals instead of denouncing homosexuality have also fallen from the path of the religion, since, “hate the sin, but love the sinner,” is a core tenet of their religion as well.'
Where do these people get off speaking to me this way? At least the commenter left a real web address. Again, i delete these comments, as they are not fruitful for safe and honest conversation for the LGBTQ community. i just learned the other day that the phrase, which i only ever hear in regards to homosexuality, 'Love the sinner, hate the sin', is not in the Bible, but was said by Gandhi. Who is this freaking person to judge whether i am a Christian or not. He is NOT G-D! Why don't these people mind their own P's & Q's, talk amongst themselves, and leave us queers alone? i don't come to their sites and tell them how un-Christ-like they are in their beliefs. Do these people think that their words and actions would propel people who do not know G-D to want to know G-D? It is so unloving and hurtful.
