108. "but when their religious faith makes them decide"
Edited on Fri Sep-17-04 10:14 AM by Randers
I think people are deciding that themselves. Jesus made no reference to homosexuals - his message was to love - not to hate - and not to look for reasons to hate.

There are all kinds of things in there, esp. by Paul, that I don't agree with. I just figure he didn't quite get the whole message. Nobodys perfect - and I wish people would not suggest that his writings are... ( He said they were not).

I also think the emphasis on saved and unsaved - in and out of the "club" is not consistant with the "ethical philosophy" Jesus was trying to relate. IMO. For some people - the "club" aspect is very important. I have to separate that aspect from what I believe to be the essense or I would have to reject everything.
