I have never engaged in homosexual acts. However, before becoming a Catholic, I did engage in the other three types of sexual sins. That makes me three times worse of a sinner than than someone who has comitted homosexual acts. The difference between me and most "activist" homsexuals, is that I have repented my sins and they have not. God is *always* ready to accept a repentent sinner. Unrepentent sinners are another story, however. You can read all about God's provocation of unrepentent sinners (e.g. the Pharasies) in the Gospels. How much you have sinned is far less important than how much you have repented, picked up your cross, and followed Jesus. chris -- First comes the logo: C H E C K P O I N T T E C H N O L O G I E S / / \\ / / Then, the disclaimer: All expressed opinions are, indeed, opinions. \ / o Now for the witty part: I'm pink, therefore, I'm spam! \/
