And who made you Pope?
I understand you'd be more comfortable if I was just another atheist dumping on God and Christ. To the contrary, I am a man of faith who is disillusioned by the message that the Bible justifies arbitrary cruelty and bigotry. The word "perverts" and other vile epithets fly freely on this board, and those words come from the mouths of Christians who ought to know better about Christ's message of empathy.
You had a point until the end, where you revealed your total lack of understanding, once again.
Christ's message is not one of "empathy," it is one of REDEMPTION from the sin that enslaves us, whether that be homosexual or heterosexual sin, envy, impatience, greed, hatred, or whatever it might be. He shed His blood so that we might be freed from that sin. He never, ever, ever "empathized" with sin. He HATES it. (Yours and mine).
I completely agree that the nasty words need to stop (I don't use them, but you don't seem to notice the difference, because you have condemned me in the group), but as long as you are claiming to know the Godhead, and grossly misinterpret and misstate what Jesus actually SAID (not what you want Him to have said), I will call you on it.
That doesn't actually make me "the Pope." Your lofty, self-centered condemnation of every conservative Christian on this board makes that more your problem than mine.
