Jim,

please don't think that ALL Christians are bigotted and hate homosexuals
and lesbians.  What has happened somehow is that most christians
think that homosexuality is a sin that is larger than they commit, how
wrong they are!!!!  If I may quote:

"For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point,
he is guilty of all." NKJV (James 2:10)

The difference between the Christian's lieing or boastfulness or gossiping
or (perish the thought) lust and the homosexual's sexual act is nothing.
Is the non-homosexual born-again Christian's sin better than the
homosexual's sin, (hold your breath Christians), NO.  If you think
you are better then "the gays",  I think you had better repent.  If you can't
eat with them, invite them to your home, hire them for your employees,
and loan them your lawn mower than you had better repent again.

Just so there is no question, I believe with them it is (YEP) sin.  But
daily I have to confess to the LORD sin that is equivalent to ANYTHING
that the average homosexual/lesbian does.  I think that most of what
has been going on in this group from "christians" hasn't even come
close to being "loving" or "CHRIST like".

Before you flame, (probably both sides), I am not one of thos 'Some of my
best friends are ______ '.  Neither am I some liberal/Neo-evangelical
Christian.  I am a hard core fundamentalist (or as Steve Dyer would say
a "bible-thumper") who doesn't particuraly like Jerry Falwell.
