Self, sex and Christ |
Personally, I'm not a Bible thumper. However, I do respect those who
choose it as a blueprint for living. Should gays feel tortured with
their "situation" and find comfort in the Good Book, I say "Why not?".

For some gays, sexual preference can be decided through faith
Susan Payne, 46, was a committed lesbian who had her first same-sex
relationship at age 13. The hardship of being an adolescent "who didn't
want to go the prom" led Payne into alcohol and drug abuse, she said.
But at age 23, she discovered a lunchtime Bible study at her workplace.
Not previously religious, she said, "I heard a lot of truth there."
Payne gradually left her hard-partying life, but was afraid to discuss
her same-sex relationships with fellow Christians. When she did divulge
her own background to another woman in her Bible study, the woman
"didn't bat an eyelash," said Payne. "She just said, 'Let's pray
together and see what the Bible says.'
"From reading the [book of] Romans, I realized that I was settling for
less. God designed us to be for the opposite sex," Payne said. In the
first chapter of St. Paul's letter to the Romans, found in the New
Testament, Paul describes God's wrath against a faithless people, whom
he punished by "giving them over to shameful lusts" such as homosexual
desires.

Well, _you_ obviously do.

That's their problem. Leave them alone.

Yo, douchebag -- I realize that "live and let live" is a heresy in
your sick, diseased, mindfuck cult, but really -- lying about your
faith to slip in your point? Jesus wouldn't be happy about that.
Repent now, hell-bound sinner.

Oh, sure. About the same as the number of Jews who found comfort in
reading "Mein Kampf".
