So really it's a win/win situation. Social acceptance and equality for all people and a loss of religious fundamentalism.
Remind me to send my cheque to the ACLU right away.
Havoc, I sense some sarcasm in your reply. From what I see, hear and read religious fundamentalism is going the way of the pony express my friend. I hear and read about churches who are arguing over what they should accept and are ignoring scripture. Why are they afraid to remain and hold on too what the Bible teaches? Church organizations are struggling with the fact that they can not call sin exactly what it is, SIN. We have justify it, legalize it, socialize it, memorialize it, sympathize it, and so on.
As I have said before, I don't think that people practicing homosexuality have a hidden agenda to do away with religion or some secretive undermining of our government or anything like that. I think they should all have the same rights as any heterosexual when it comes to employment, housing, healthcare benefits. The government has no right in limiting these benefits. As Christians, I think we look stupid trying to fight it. Why? Homosexuals are humans too, they deserve there equal right.
I will stand firm as a Christian in my beliefs in the scripture that God believes it to be wrong and a sin. If a gay man or women walks into my church, I am going to love them and share the gospel with them. I am not going to condemn them but, give and show them love. Will I accept there sexual practice and tell them that its ok. No. You may ask what if they never change? Well that is something that we have to accept. Many people who come to Christ and want to quit smoking or drinking or other habits, some are able to stop, others have a very bad addiction and may never be able to stop, and to expect some one to change over night I think is wrong. Am I saying that to be gay is an addiction? For some yes for some no. The two people that I know who are now gay, one is gay the other is Bi. They both made decisions to enter into those sexual practices.
That's all I can tell you.
