It would be an understatement to accuse Gregg Thompson of brashness and
insensitivity for posting biblical proscription of homosexual activity
without comment.  Well ... almost without comment:

>If you are gay you are worthy of death. Also remember that the
>wages of sin is death. Only through Jesus Christ can you be saved and
>cleansed from your sins.

Why go out of your way to lean on gays in this respect, Gregg?  All sinners
are worthy of death.  Are you not a sinner anymore?  Are you one of those
who thinks that once they have passed through the door of salvation, they
have bound God to admit them into heaven no matter what?  This kind of
finger pointing smacks of one who thinks he's got his salvation in his pocket.
You might help gays a little more by entering into some dialogue with them
instead of just dishing out condemnation.  You seem pretty good at telling
us what God thinks of homosexual practice.  What do you think he thinks of 
some of the things you do?

For cleansing we are in continual need.  Have you had your "bath" today?

A fellow sinner also worthy of death,
