I think that ALL truth is God's truth. If homosexuality is wrong (that is Not truth), then it is so irrespective of my position in the universe as a Christian or Non-C. For instance, I was against the common cold before becoming a Christian. I remain faithful to that position today. The KKK is likely to be against both the common cold (for White Folks anyway) and homosexuality. Since they are palpably anti- Christian, should that affect my position on either issue ? Again, since all Truth is God's truth the KKK may be correct on both these issues even though they are a group whose basis and positions on many subjects are "wrong". Bob akgua!rjb
