    It is a sad, sad truth. After dealiing with someone who was gay and an atheist ( two actually) I decided to reevaluate most of my beliefs. I do believe homosexuality is a sin and immoral but I have no right to beat someone over the head for this. Christianity is about following the ideals of Christ and how he lived. He gave his life for the poor, downtrodden , hurting, etc and as his followers, Christians are called to care for these people. Not that all gays are hurt and downtrodden but the ideas of ‘judge not lest ye be judged’ and ‘what would Jesus do’ stand out to me. So I feel i have no right to beat these people up, but to tell them of the goodness of Jesus and where I stand.

I dont believe in beating up anyone for this . please understand that my journey to this belief was not easy. And never is for some Christians. I lost some sleep on the issue, raised my blood pressure and screwed up many of my days trying to figuire out what to do about how I felt on this. It was not easy and will never be easy or even approached by some fundamentalists. You cant change anyones opininon, but you can understand why they feel the way they do. I hope this helps!!
