Go back and read your Bible. You have been told that the Bible condemns homosexuality; go back and read the verses. For example, Leviticus, 18:22 and 20:13. You think because the Bible says it, it must be law. Have you really read all of Leviticus? If so, you know that you are not following the law, and as such, you are not a 'true' Christian. The sin of Sodom, per the 'true' Christian's reading, is homosexuality. Read Ezekiel, 16:49-50, Matthew, 10: 14-15 and Luke, 10:7-16. Hmmm. Unless you can say that you faithfully follow each and every law that Leviticus lays out, don't accuse gay Christians of rationalizing their belief/faith. My experience has been that most gay-baiting Christians who come into Oak Lawn to save us lost sheep can't withstand more than five minutes of detailed Bible reading before they give up and look for someone more vulnerable. Faith is not an absolute - remember that Christ is the PERSONAL savior for all, not the GENERIC savior. My vision of and belief in God is just as real as yours, even if it is different from yours.
